i love xbox 360 on 20 November 2007
| mrstickball said: The United Kingdom probably won't become as big as Japan largely due to the handheld race. Japan has outsold the UK 27m to 6.5m. However, in the console race, I do think that the United Kingdom can slowly get close to Japan, but that's still years away. Currently in the next-gen hardware race, it's Japan's 5.6m consoles to UK's 3.5m. Definately not close, but closer than the handhelds. However, mainland Europe, I believe, is where it's at. There's a huge population base (about 350m) that have relatively decent incomes that aren't buying a bevy of hardware. For next-gen hardware, you have: United States: 15.2m Consoles Japan: 5.6m Consoles UK: 3.5m Consoles France: 1.85m Consoles Canada: 1.6m Consoles Germany: 0.9m Consoles Spain: 0.9m Consoles Italy: 0.65m Consoles Scandanavia: 0.6m Consoles Other Europe: 0.75m Consoles Austrailia: 0.55m Consoles South Korea: 0.3m Consoles (est) Taiwan: 0.2m Consoles So in the future, UK as well as some European markets could become huge. |
i dont think they will germany and italy population are decreasing so there console sales will not increase that much wear as france and britian have growing populations so they will become even more important
