It should...Europe has 200 million more people than the United States..Depending on what countries your tracking for the argument.

Are we talking NA vs. Europe, or something else? No one single country will overtake the US as the biggest console market for another decade or two, unless a few crazy scenarios take place.

another decade or two? Honestly, I think it's going to take a lot longer than that for China to overtake the US, but otoh, they have more people online than the US so who knows?

OT: I thought it had already overtaken the US....

 

 

 In 2000, China's GDP was just 10% of that of the US's. They've come along way fast, and they ain't slowing down. It won't be more than a decade of two before the Chinese people's standard of living rapidly increases (which, of course, will be when their economy's growth levels won't be as rapid), and so does their purchasing of consoles.
