I don't know about Germany but the ST is doing very well in
Great Britain. The current concensus of opinion is that around
150,000 machines have been sold (compared to around 50-60,000
Amiga's).

There are a number of ST secific magazines, including one
dedicated to games only. In addition, there are a growing
number of 16-bit games/entertainment magazines that feature the
machine heavily.

The number of games produced for the ST has grown enormously
and, generally the first versions of new games appear on the ST
before any other machine.
