"In Europe, GT5 set overall sales records in many smaller countries but performance wasn't good enough in major markets like the UK (where Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and FIFA dominate) to set an overall sales record." Taken from the article. Probably not one of the weakest but not as big as many other European countries (relatively). |
Interesting.
If you look at UK charts there is always at least 1 racing game in the chart. Games like F1 2010, NFS and even Forza still getting into the charts now and then. Don't really see many in the other european charts.
In UK racing is massive. F1 is on BBC1 and Top Gear is one of the most watched shows not just in UK but worldwide. In UK there are many channels on Sky dedicated to just motorsport. The only other country i could think of who give a monkies about it would be Italy as they have a rich history with motorsport, same as UK. It would be good to see some numbers of the countries sales for the genre.
