May i ask how you have seen them if they are not tracked?

Im not doubting your right but would be interesting to see what kind of numbers were talking about.
Because only a week or so ago i remember seeing the release of the PC sales report
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/aug/06/european-pc-sales-09q2

Which said UK sold 1.9m PC's in the past quarter while Germany sold 2.3m. Down from 2.7m the quarter before. While France sold 2.6m.

Now they are just PC's not software. But this again would lead me to believe Germany and UK are pretty much selling the same while France is obviously the clear leader. In terms of Hardware.

But another interesting thing is that Germany spent $3.8Billion on Gaming products in the past 12 months according to http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,3580736,00.html
While UK spent $5.59Billion on games. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/32840/UK-games-market-worth-4bn-in-2008

So that is a difference of well over a Billion. Quite a vast amount of money.

Will be interesting to see the official numbers when they are released.
