mkay but when did i say latin america has 400 million population? i believe as well that africans and the middle east don't buy much more than latin americans but as an example how wrong you could be:
latin americans earn more than africans but of these there are 200 million brazilians who have to pay more than double the price or so for gaming than someone in europe or north america.. that's why it doesn't say a lot if brazilians could possibly buy games because they earn enough. i don't know how the economy looks like in argentina at the moment but everyone should know they had some serious trouble over years and even with their "good" gdp, if these people can afford consoles nowadays? i really don't know...
maybe many people in south america don't like to play on consoles even if they have money and many africans love it? that's what i meant we germans buy much less per capita than us-americans. they buy like three times more. maybe africans with money buy like 2-5 times more than south americans with money? do you know that?
i did never talk about the populations, only as i said that of these 400 million south americans 200 have to pay horrible prices even in switzerland or finland almost nobody would buy consoles for and i think in the usa the market would be 80% or so smaller as well then. maybe these prices are the same in the other south american countries? don't know about that.
and since i think only big cities will have some gamers in africa and latin america because of obvisiously reasons, i can think about more in africa/middle east than in south america because of brazilian problem. johannesburg, cape town, cairo, riyadh, jerusalem, dubai, abu dhabi and little smaller like kuwait city will have some gamers. maybe few gamers in cities like marrakech, rabat. heard about tanzania so daressalam and so on.
the infrastructure in some parts of the middle east is very good as it is in some african regions. sure buenos aires, cordoba, bogota and so shouldn't be forgotten but i think the cities i was telling have a better condition to be "video game cities"
and don't forget i don't say africa /middle east have more gamers. maybe in africa are much less than in south america i just can say what i think about the different regions if i examine them and about brazil. i think i would be a gamer living in abu dhabi or cape town with a decent job and i believe i wouldn't be one in bogota and absolutely no in brazil.

Wow your whole argument is based on nothing but your own perception and you dare calling me wrong? Come on at least try to bring some numbers like I did for example with population and average income. Saying Abu Dhabi or Cape Town contains more gamers than Bogota or Buenos Aires is just plain ridiculous if you cannot back it with some numbers.
Again the point here is just to show that Africa and Middle East cannot count for like 4 times the sales of Latin America...it just doesnt make sense.
