This coupled with the digital sales actually looks good. Sweden Only for those numbers though.

No surprise it being PS4 country here in Sweden, but would have thought PC market would have been bigger.

Took me awhile to realize this is about games sales in nordic countries and not Nordic Games lol.

Well not everyone wants big ass PC boxes....I love those myself but still.
Kinda weird to see it beating out XBO though but that what happens when we are deemed a tier 2 country. The PS360 was actually pretty close to each other not heavily skewed as it is now.

EDIT: check out 2010 number

Isn't as heavily skewed then but Microsoft really dropped the ball on anything that wasn't US or UK. So their demise is kinda their own fault.

My bad, I always forget about them tbh.

i think this means retail pc game sales only right? or does it include digital sales too?
i think ps4 and pc are much bigger just because of that.

also "others" would be interesting... is that nvidia shield or the OUYA?

Retail Only

The digital sales are shown here: http://www.dataspelsbranschen.se/media/153159/digital spelförsäljning 2015.pdf

But that is only for Sweden and it includes other platforms as well.

Thread title should be updated so it reads Nordic Region game sales

Belgorim · Jul 28, 2016

Those PC games are pretty much all blizzard games from retail.

If you check it out, page 12 and 13 that isn't even close to the truth ^^

Conduit · Jul 28, 2016

Xbone is really outsold there in Nordic region. Anyway :

??????

Faustek · Jul 28, 2016

had to double check but yes, someone was sleepy ^^

Labadal · Jul 28, 2016

I'm surprised at how big the difference is in PS4 vs XBONE sales.

The 360 is still going strong for a system of that age.

PSP actually selling better than previous year was funny.

The N3DS is trucking along.

The PS2 is not completely dead.

Tailzo · Jul 28, 2016

Ouch at PS Vita, and a little ouch at XBox one. But PC is looking healthy

Nothing to be surprised about. Many of the "features" aren't launched here, we are a tier 2 country.

PS2 will probably never die. I still buy sealed copies to this day from regular stores.

Kinda funny how I can buy PSV games from Amazon UK/DE and still save about 30% with shipping. That is if I want it day 1 even weirder that we get so many physical releases of it anyway. I mean check the store, a sale is always happening.

PC boxes are beautiful ^^

So practically 1/10 Danes, Swedes and Norwegians bought a PS4 in 2015. That's pretty impressive even if Scandinavia has always been Sony territory.

I don't think there's even Finnish language support in the XB1 UI yet, while Playstation has had it since PS3. We've always been second tier in many ways.

It's listing game sales, not console sales.

notaskwid · Jul 28, 2016

Damn, this numbers paint a pretty bad picture of the Finnish economy.

Oh damn, I should learn to read.

Dinjooh · Jul 28, 2016

Quite surprised at the XB1 sales here. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be.
