That's an awkward thinking. Europe had the choice of choosing between PC and Consoles, and today PC is completely dominating Europe with the exception of 4/5 countries. Even have a look at Japan - it once was the mecha for consoles, but now the Japanese console industry is declining while PC's online gaming in Japan is actually increasing fairly it seems.

 

Huh? So PC is dominating in 1/5 countries then? How is that domination? Sounds like 20% to me.

Also the console decline probably has a lot more to do with the rise of handheld gaming in Japan than the rise of PC gaming. What exactly is being developed with Japanese audiences in mind on PC? Almost everything seems to be American or European influenced in nature.

 

I mean only 4 or 5 european countries are console-centric. It's hard to tell sometimes if some1 is being sarcastic or just a complete bore.

The japanese developers are making their own PC games. So we start seeing more and more MMORPGs like that Persona MMO and Monster Hunter Online. Imo, MMORPGs are the perfect fit for japanse gamers since they can create their own lolicons and keep "grinding" monsters like they already did on JRPGs.
