Germany surpassed Japan in Gaming Sales

1. VGChartz lol

2. PS3 is very strong in western Europe, UK aside. Now that the price has gone down, it has become the bro-gamer console, for people who buy 3 or 4 games a year, first and foremost Fifa and PES. I haven't seen statistics for my country yet, but I'm positive the PS3 did very well during 4th quarter in France too. I work with malls, and people there told me PS3s and Wiis were flying off the shelves.

European having better standards? Since when!?

VGChartz lol.

Actually going by that VGchartz link pc gaming must be first by far since it clearly says Retail sales and pc is to close to PS3 even with only retailadamosmaki

You're right, actually, I forgot to look if DD was included. Well that settles it then...

Alot of mine were here already. The some Irish and Scottish people had sexy time with them, and here I am, the best poster in System Wars history.

Japan has a massive second hand market. The second hand market is about the same size as the first hand (?) market. That's why Japanese software sales are low. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=27535512&postcount=278) But in YTD, Japan beats Germany and is about the same size as the UK.Eponique

it's the population size that matters, or else Canada would be one of the largest markets.

Wow, 2 PC games on the top 3 of Germany, not bad.

and it boils down to a completely ignorant individual trying to call a group of 300 million people ignorant. you must not be sleeping too well at night if you're coming to SW to throw this ethnicity horse **** around.

[QUOTE="HavocV3"]

[QUOTE="HFkami"] no they dont, the data clearly shows it. I also could argue since pc games are second in sales in germany, there are even more sales in the download sector and even more in the pirating sector. I buy used games too and we have gamestops too here. Also people who buy used games tend to sell or trade their used games for other used games. Youre some kind of Japanophile who is sure is white and is from german ancestry like all americans.HFkami

Why do you care? Who cares really? This doesn't affect anyone. I am aware though that Eastern Europe for instance has a very high amount of PC devs, but no one cares abotu them because those games usually suck. I don't see how one country selling more games than another is important in anyway whatsoever.

That's what the word means? Why would someone want to be something they arn't? But I don't see anything wrong with admireing some things about a culture, for instance I find that Japan seems to have better family values in their culutre than we do here in the US, I also admire how they take care of their elderly more.

Also when the Tsunami and earthquake happened the Japanese people weren't rioting or killing eachother, if that happened here in the US you can sure as hell bet it we would have behaved like animals.That being said, you shouldn't want to be somthing your not.

I'm a Jewish American so that's my culture and ethnicity, and I have no desire to be Japanese or Italian or Black ect...but I can still admire and appreciate things about that ethnicty and culture. I don't see what's wrong with that. I kinda agree with your point nonetheless, be proud of what you are and don't try to be something else.

When did I bring up the Japanese government? But Japan from what I understand is a very submissive society, and they have different values. For instance over in their culture being shy is considered a sign of strength, don't know why. I have never been there before but I have friends who are from there or families areand that's what they tell me.

I still don't see what this has to do with Japan's Government.

so youre asian??? What chinese, korean or thai??? And you defend japan tough your ancestors are not japanese???My main point was youre japanophille doesnt matter where you from.. so now lets come to the point of used games its pointless fact, it doesnt bring money to the devolopers so i just ignore your fact cuz i cant proof you wrong but you cant proof me wrong as well. There are no specific data on every used game in every country like germany in comparison to japan, just like with downloading.HFkami

I don't care about either. If you're going to have country warz do it elsewhere, this is System Wars, and you have to argue with facts, not with "you're not Japanese, so you're not allowed to say anything pro-Japanese".

Germany's gaming industry value at €1.937 ($2.46 billion) billion in 2010

Japan's gaming industry value at $5.9 billion in 2010

lol that's not what I was trying to say, just that when it comes to a time of crisis they act more civilized than we do here. Not that they are more civilized as a whole than we are, and I like how they take care of their elderly where over here we kinda kick them to the curb and try to forget them. And I don't think that's right. Thier society does have problems though, like I don't like how most Japanese stay at one job their whole life and over work ect...
