I always felt that that the North American audience was very similar to the British audience. Then again both the biggest North American markets were former British colonies. So there are bound to be many shared cultural values. Personally I am never shocked when the tastes are similar.
I was also under the impression that many markets in Europe had strict game laws that outright ban certain game types regardless of ratings. I thought killer games were illegal in Germany. Was I confused as to what this referred to? I thought killer games referred to first person shooters. Were that the case how could the 360 sell reasonably well in Europe. That is like the best part of the consoles library.
Could anyone enlighten me further as to the cultural and legislative differences in the European market? I feel woefully under informed on the subject.
