I would not so quickly pronounce the EU as easily surpassing the US. True, many post-communist states may likely increase their output and their ability to purchase luxury goods. On the other hand, and this is a problem that Japan will also face, there is the decrease and the aging of the population. The US is, to my knowledge, the only major developed nation whose population is expected to increase over the next century.

 

 

 A bit wrong I think. UK's population due to grow and grow to become the biggest in Europe according to recent research.

Also another little fact : "The EU's statistical office Eurostat also predicts the EU population will be 506m in 2060, up from 495m in 2008." from the same article above.



I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
