There are three things that resume videogames here in Spain:
- A lot of people has a generic name for video consoles, "La pley", a phonetic contraction of the name playstation. Before PS1, home computers had a very strong portion of the video games market. Spectrum, Atari ST, Amiga... were the strongest platforms here. Since the PS/N64 generation, most people bought the videoconsole you could pirate, in this case the Playstations, so Sony made of Spain a Stronghold.
- Another thing is Football (Soccer) games, which almost every month are at the top of the lists.There are people that only buy Pro/Fifa, but they buy them every year.
- And the third is piracy. I'm almost sure that Spain is one of the most piracy-friendly countries all over the developed world, I think only second to South Korea. Almost all the DS sold here means a R4 cartridge sold, the piracy webs are of the most important all over the world, and yes, the X360 has an alarming rate of pirated consoles.
