Germany is the biggest market in general in Europe /thread

Where did you get that from?

Wasn't sure about that but it looks like it's true.

Germany is the biggest gaming market in Europe:

"The UK was the 6th largest video game market in 2016 in terms of consumer revenues, after China , USA, Japan, South Korea and Germany."



UK

France

Germany

Doesn't include PC. Germany should be the biggest given their 80m population v ~65m for France/UK.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

UK market is overblown because everyone in Europe imports from there.

Yeah, give power to Germany. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

Who would you rather be "in power" in Europe?

Only the true world power, the glorious Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia!

They are the only country that triggers Yugoslavia Serbia and Montenegro Serbia and Kosovo Srbija, Bulgaria, and Greece Hellenic Republic just by existing!

Isn't this the case in every major European market, though? What's the largest European market that doesn't have FIFA on top, anyway?

My personal bet is Russia, but it's rather small with respect to consoles.

My personal favorite is the country that bred this music here a century and a half ago. I personally doubt that their descendants don't just buy FIFA en masse nowadays.

I would say:

console (hard- and software)

UK > France > Germany or France > UK > Germany

PC

Germany > maybe both together

Overall

Germany > UK > France


UK's market profits a lot form Europeans ordering in UK b/c of cheaper prices (or if a game isn't available in another country) and I don't really know how big UK's market would be without this fact. That means UK's market may be big but it doesn't really tell us how much people in UK spend on games and hardware nor how much more people in other countries spend since their money is on the UK market.

It is but in Germany FIFA is very dominant on consoles. There was a chart last year where like 9 out of the top 10 games have been FIfa games on different consoles. 

In my opinion we Germans have a great taste in PC games but not so much in console games. Nothing against FIFA, I like it as well but it's a little bit too crazy here.

I think UK has made it clear that they don't want to be counted as European. We should respect their wishes and proclaim Germany as the European video game king.

hehe xD Okay, cool : )
