Latin America has a few things going for it: - Good population (Brazil is nearing 200,000,000) - One primary language makes it easy for porting a game to one language (vs. Europe which has many) - Economy is growing (most are seeing good growth rates for the past 4 years) Overall, it'll become a good market for games mainly due to Brazil's growth as a economic powerhouse, and easily translatable language. It'll never be a 'big' competitor for quite a long time, but it'll be a valuable emerging market. I think it'll have some focus within the next 5 years as being a 'big' launching ground for next-gen machines, and garner about as much focus as Australia does in the coming years. |
I thought Brazilians spoke Portugese and the rest of S.A. speaks Spanish? (someone confirm or refute this for me, I am going off memory)
