Are the current consoles priced about the same now as they were last gen at the same stage of their lives (taking exchange rates and maybe inflation into account)?
I haven't had the time to do any proper research but it seems to me that consoles are far more expensive this gen after almost 6yrs (x360) and approaching 5yrs for the other two, than they were at the same stage last gen.
The economic conditions in the biggest gaming markets in Europe are not exactly ideal..maybe apart from Germany.
Taking these two factors on board I will say that there is room for growth, not amazing growth but growth non-the-less.
Even if sales are down the EMEAA remains the biggest POTENTIAL market based on it's population and having some of the world's fastest growing economies.
Kowenicki, from what year are these figures taken (PS2 XBOX GameCube = 76.43m).
It seems to me at a glance that these include figures for an eight year old PS2 which will be unfair to compare it with the current consoles that are younger.
If I am wrong about that I apologise.
