Germany bought 20.4 Million PC Games in 2014

The real article the info came from is written in German so I just found another article that shares the main point.

Random Article

German Article

At E3 falls on again and again that the PC is less advertised aggressively, as suggested by its significance for the overall market in Germany alone last year purchased about 20.4 million PC games, it is the industry association BIU based on GfK -numbers - which had more games than all stationary consoles together.

PC MASTE.... oh, probably better not say that.

"The fact that the duel of consoles fought with such exclusive deals, annoying also a third group: the computer player."

Why is the PC group mad over the console wars.

Read my sig

German's are massive PC gaming fans, I wonder what the Swedish sales are like. Smaller population but the ratio would likely be much the same.

Yeah that joke could get really stale, really quickly in this thread

rofl, amazing joke

I think they mean that PC gamers are annoyed by the exclusive deals (timed exclusivity, DLC, etc) that results because of the console war, but it's hard to tell because the english article is just a direct google translation of the German Article

They still get the game.And besides DLC does not sell that much on PC when they can mod the stuff in to the game.

Their point isn't entirely clear

The article goes about how there was no agresive ad for PC , in a way that is the most stupid thing i have heard.Let me ask you.

How do you advertise a PC when it works of more than just 1 company.Does AMD not do enought , what about Nvidia.MS makes the OS so who is the face for PC?

Top game sales in Germany2014 - (not sure how accurate this is)

Individual Formats

^^ Impressive SONY showing.

damn... beat me to it.

Heil PC!!

Woot, woot, Germany got that Nintendo love!

Dat Tomodachi Life tho!

And the Xbone charts at 55 with FIFA lol

Come to think of it, I'd love to know where the sales data comes from. Have they included Digital and if they have how did they get it?

@GarGx1: i think its Steam sales

you do know thats retail only though

@adamosmaki: Digital sales can be hard to track, since they don't always release that information (especially Steam).

That really bafles me.

You'd think that digital will be the easies to track but some how its not.

God bless Germany

Definitely, it does seem strange.

Valve and other outlets just don't share their information to these groups.

That list is embarrassing, but it proves that germany are just like the rest of the world when it comes to playing bad games.
