What is World Wide?
|
You're joking right. Ya know, everywhere... all around the world, where the US accounts for 35-40% of the gaming market and the rest of the world the remaining 60-65%.
|
What exactly is the rest of the world?
What countries involve the other 60-65%
|
In terms of gaming the most significant would be the countries of mainland Europe (as a whole Europe is almost equal to the US as a console market, about the same if you include PC gaming) where Playstation is still synonymous with core gaming. Then there is Japan and South Korea which are huge markets for their populations. Australia is a bit like the UK in gaming preferences. Then there is all of Asia where gaming is less significant but at the sametime growing rapidly, especially in China and in MMO style games. Finally, South America, but I know very little as to the size of the gaming market there.

What's the console gaming market like in South Korea if you know? Do they mostly still play SC over there?
|
I think it's fairly big but the rapid growth MMOs and internet based gaming (and lots of Starcraft, lol) may have surpassed it now. They have the fastest net connections... anywhere I think. This is all second-hand info from friends though so take it with a pinch of salt.

Well I know about a year ago they were still big on SC. Heck, their pro-SC players were like celebrities there. I'm curious to how much recognition Sony/MS have over there though, if anyone knows?
