 (market languages gathered and split by myself)

Note that China and Korea are massively into online PC gaming and thus their video game console markets are far smaller than their global VG data shows (and France is the world's most console-oriented market for example http://www.newzoo.com/category/infographics/). So VGC is tracking the right 5 major console VG markets. Next addition would be Italy and Spain, Canada, Australia, maybe Brazil or Mexico

The top 12 reflects quite well the 11 major Internet languages (same list as the 10 major wikipedias by traffic but with Korean higher here and the inclusion of Dutch : http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org and same as online market share http://www.translated.net/en/languages-that-matter?sortBy=languages#results)

I like the source box. Did you think of that yourself?

edit: oh no it's gone from the OP :(



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
