thanks

, I forgot about the early pricecut for the ps3 phat



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

 jarrod said:The Xbox360 or ps3 will not sell more than 75million units

July 2009 daveJ saidTrue the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

@ edjevink )

people won't storm the shops to get a 200€ Wii first day here in germany - september probably was worse than august and the first three days of cotober weren't good enough to "save" the month



Will VGC update after these numbers?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Wow, PS3 is 124k VS 30k x360 during August-September.
It outsold x360 by 4 times, and Germany is not the strongest PS3 region. There are some countries, where PS3 is even more popular, well except UK maybe, but in all Europe.. i see that PS3 rules.
4:1 - just wow.

^Wii price cut was in october - october 1st to be precise

Exactly, and the september numbers are from august 30th to october 3rd. So, why are the Wii numbers in september lower than that of august. Seems strange.


You actually have proof these are the weeks included in the numbers or do you just assume they'll use the same weeks as NPD?

Actually Germany has overtaken the UK as the largest gaming market in europe. But PC gaming is huge in germany so you can't tell by just looking at consoles.



like what been said gazzilion times, outside the US people like Playstation brand more.




GFK August/September 2009 - VGC August/September

PS3: 124,000 - 92,161 (-31,839)
Wii: 66,200 - 94,846 (+28,646)
360: 29,500 - 49,460 (+19,960)

VGC undertrack PS3 but overtrack both Wii and X360 (large gaq). PS3 supposed to outsell both X360 and Wii combined for 2 months. How can this happen ? If all 3 overtrack/ undertrack i can understand. Or is there are other country import PS3 from Germany. GFK include them but VGC only count PS3 that sold in Germany ?

A lot of people are buying Software and Hardware in UK because its a lot cheaper there. And the Software is always uncut. Sometimes in Germany they are cutted, the people buy US Versions just to be 100% sure they didnt change anything. The Import market for Software is bigger then in any country in the world. I would say that 60% of my Games are from US or UK and my Console is from UK. On ebay they sell alot US Ps3s and on Amazon too its easy 249 for PS3 in Uk thats 275 Euro thats 25 Euro. And if you buy a US PS3 thats so incredibly cheap its a little more then 200 Euro. I mean thats so damn cheap. Why should someone buy a German Console ?

Germany Officially Changes Country Name to "GerSony", Berlin to Change to "Jelly Donut"

By: Hans Geschprectetmitihnengefelhterfehrnsehr

On the heels of the amazing sales brought about by the reinventing of the entire video game/social/world community with the new "Slim" model of the vaunted Playstation 3 video game/supercomputer/Matrix system, German Chancellor Franz "Franzer the Panzer" Helgenspeilerkatzehundenschulterngefehltenberger has made an executive decision regarding the nomenclature of his Vaterland. The decision was made late in the night last night, as "the Panzer" sat in his Schlafzimmer, playing his early copy of Uncharted 2 (Sony realeased review copies to all world leaders, hoping to get an endorsement from the newest Nobel laureate for umm . . . talking, Barack Obama) a revelation came to him to change his country to reflect the greatest company, consumer electronics device, and the greatest invention since the Tesla Coil (screw you Edison!). "Henceforth" said Franz between bites of Schitzel, "our country will be known as GerSony (Deutschonyland in the native tongue) and we will be the standard bearers to bring about a new world order of video gaming! Und keine Eier!" This announcement was met with much rejoicing as the millitary piled truckloads of Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii games outside of the Chancellor's offices and burned them in effigy. In a lesser, but related announcement, Berlin will officially be known as "Jelly Donut", to avoid confusion with visiting foreign dignataries.

 

LOL awesome XD..

 

On topic. Those are great sales. I would imagine people in germany buys their games from other countries concidering the cencor in the country.
