1 - i bet if Germany made the 360 it would be #1 there
Its good to see Europe not being duped my MS. They know its a faulty machine and with all the anit-consumer lawsuits that have been filed in Europe you can bet it will remain Sony land.
~~FLAME ON~~
ADD ON
Rooftrenlen: You 4get the 360 had a 16month head start in Europe. So yea it is Sony land

That's Sony land?
The Wii has sold over twice as much, and the 360 is still two years away from the PS3 at this rate.
I mean, I don't really care about Germany, but if Germany has turned from the land of chocolate to Sony, it has a lot of converting to do.
Edit: @1.3
But the Simpsons said Germany is where everything is made of chocolate...even the animals!

in just 8 months ps3 has crossed 60% of x36's base in a range of 23 months....so u even know that its over for x360 worldwide except NA.
by this XMAS ps3 would overtake the x360 in terms of LTD in EU. ps3 would do the same to wii next year by march, 2008

Even if you think the PS3 will pass the 360 (and I would agree, it will), you're thinking far too short term.
Another $200 is going to have to drop from the price to really make it move consoles (even the Wii has not hit the mass market price yet). It also needs at least one or two of its big name games next year.
I think before holiday season '09, the PS3 will be ahead of the 360 in worldwide sales, though. This holiday will likely be close, and next holiday the PS3 will beat the 360 to get very close, I believe.
I wish the PS3 would pass the 360 this Christmas, but that's unrealistic.

It could just be me, but I think these sales figures posts are getting out of hand & aren't really news when you start fracturing continents for positive spin. We all know 360 & Wii are both outselling PS3 in NA, but what if PS3 happens to outsell 360 & Wii combined in North Dakota? Is that news worthy? I'm thinking not, but again, it could just be me.

What point are you trying to make? Even after the war, US dumped extremely large amounts into the German economy to help bring it back up. Japanese people love American Pop-Culture too and eat up the iPod. Are you honestly trying to draw some sort of WWII/electronics conspiracy theory up here. You sound absolutely insane.

WE did not kick Germanys aZZ in WW2 fool. We didnt join the fight till 4 years in. Germany lost because they went up north 2 Russia in the middle of the winter. We did how ever give Japan a good beatin. If we had lost that war we wouldnt be the counrty we are. Are leaders would have gone to jail for war crimes. Google fire bombing of Japan then take a look at where the Japanesse is today
America would be nothing if we had 90% of are citys leveled to the ground! AND THATS A FACT
Look at New Orleans for all the proof u need

6 - Im wondering at the comment
At the bottem because if you look at vgcharts TOTALS for each system in germany they nearly match exactly what this article says. Now before you hit the disagree atleast look it up first and you will see that all 3 are really close to what is writen here. Remember vgcharts is not exact but to give a feel on roughly how many units are sold total. Plus doesnt deflating mean to reduce something so does that mean they ment the 360 and wii numbers were lower than they should be as well as the ps3?

Looks like the submitter is trying to prove that VGChartz is just an estimate with figures from GfK that are also just an estimate. I'm puzzled myself because when push comes to shove neither truly matter as developers will allocate resources based on hard numbers, not estimates.

7 - What? More Good News for PS3? -
Ahh FAKE.
@Bladstar -I love the historical political/military complex scenario you bring up, but this only proves one thing: Civilized cultures can go to war - step back from the fray and see the big picture, and that picture is called progress, peace, money and baby-making. Americans buy French wine, buy Japanese cars, computers and TV's, German cars, Italian cars, and Chinese toys, trinkets, electronics etc, etc, etc.... so if Germany is proudly buying more PS3's now it only makes more sense. Yeah they see the American product for now (which is good) but they probably know in their hearts and minds (being mechanically inclined as they are) that the PlayStation is a better product. Hey when the next XBox comes out and it is more mechanically sound maybe they'll migrate back towards it, but for now the 360 is dead in countries where people know whats up and aren't buying something because they're brainwashed to buy it. Hey, I love America, but I also have common sense and am conscious about my spending.
The PS3 is just more value for my dollar and maybe I'm not the only one who thinks in this vain?

8.1 - Not True
The GfK Group is the No. 5 market research organization worldwide. Its activities cover five business divisions Custom Research, Retail and Technology, Consumer Tracking, Media and HealthCare. It has a European chain, one in Germany so if you wanted to get a figure from retails you'd probably go to them.
For the UK, ChartTrack is the leading research organisation that provides its data to the BBC and other technology related firms that cover the games industry.
So Europe does keep track of these things and they do release data; but normally software data is the only thing that is provided by ChartTrack to the public (you have to pay to get the hardware figures) but GfK seem to hardware for the public, in Germany anyway.

8.2 - GFK
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
GfK is Germany’s oldest market research company, established 72 years ago at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In 1936, GfK AG conducted the country’s first brand study, on the cross logo of pharmaceutical company Bayer, and a year later it published the first German purchasing power figures, which are now also produced for the rest of Europe and overseas. In the mid-1950s, GfK joined the European frontrunners when it adopted consumer panel research after the research methodology first developed in the United States. It also began expanding its international network at an early stage, and in 1960 GfK AG co-founded the Europanel, which, together with British partner Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS), conducts continuous studies of consumer purchasing patterns in 26 European countries. The GfK consumer climate study, launched in Germany during 1983, now covers Britain, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, and a series of central and eastern European countries. In 1985, GfK began producing German television ratings, first for state-owned broadcasters and later for the Television Research Partnership (AGF). During September 2005 GfK AG was a sponsor for the “Du bist Deutschland” (You are Germany) advertising campaign, the country's largest multimedia initiative to date, aimed at enhancing Germany’s image. Today, GfK AG is widely acknowledged as Germany’s undisputed market leader, with a market share of well over 25 percent. Germany continues to account for the largest share of GfK’s annual sales.

We have German charts now? Wow...and this is maybe just a coincidence but alot of 360 games have been banner their I think from gore and stuff and the PS hasn't really had any of those yet, could be a slight factor, maybe not overwhelming, but it doesn't hurt. I dunna when I go home to Düsseldorf to visit, (moved away when I was 7 and only been back once) I'll find out what my friends have for because now I'm curious.

If only all you guys would stop arguing and read the article... how can you be mad when it says things like this:
"Nintendo's Wii, the 28,000 times over the counter walked"
It walked over the counter? LOL
Sorry, I've just been reading this site for too long, and seen too many arguments that just whine about the same things over and over. Every console has its advantages and disadvantages, and they've all got some amazing games (released and upcoming).

just a heads up. "the article" that you're talking about wasn't written in english. It. says when you follow the link "translated version of". Its obviously a german site that was translated. "Walked over the counter" is a rough translation of a german idiom. You get the idea.
someone did translate on google then posted the translated link.

Because Europe isn't a country?
Europe doesn't release sales figures as a whole and sales reports are sporadic at best from most of Europe. It's a good idea to keep a check on these reports because it gives a nice overall view.
Anything on VGCharts is estimates for Europe, while this is hard data.

This is an estimate too. They don't sit there and count every single game console sold at every store in Germany. They take some data and estimate the number sold in the country from that.

It's not even 2008 and it's already starting SONY is doing a good job, history is repeating it's self all over again. Come early next year the PS3 will start selling more then the Wii once DMC4 is released in Japan, then when MGS4 is released world wide PS3 will start taking over the console market.
Right now SONY is just waiting for the right games to come out so they can make their move next year, come next year there will be another price cut for the 40Gb and 80Gb($300 40Gb, $400 80Gb) with a ton of AAA titles that don't need to be listed because we all no them. Look everyone who don't believe that SONY will move more consoles then MS next year then they have another thing coming.
Yes MS has games too and another price cut when SONY makes their move but it won't be enough. MS games for next year are all new IP's and they used up all their heavy hitters to top it all off, all they have left is GEARS OF WAR 2 and I doubt that it will be ready for XMAS 08. Because they are working on DLC for GEARS OF WAR PC and UT3 for 360.
So yea the way I see it next year is truly SONY's year for sure, I know I'm going to get a ton of disagrees for this lol.

Bubbles for you for speaking the truth, I used to own a 360 and I have to say I got really tired of the racist crap that was going on online.
