Europe's economy is way worse than the States, so really, its the two major territories for gaming.  People can talk about the Yen being a problem, but for consumers it's great.  It means their money buys more stuff for less.  But from what I heard, people were more apt to buy one big thing and a few little things this year, as in, maybe a 360 for one kid, and an ipod for another, etc... instead of everyone getting a game console or a TV etc.  Cost of living around the world continues to rise, yet wages fall.

I don't know about that. Don't judge the whole of Europe by looking at a few small gaming markets (greece for example)

I do know.  Keep in mind USA's bad unemployment now is merely the average of a good Euro economy.  And when every country jumps on board the same currency system and money comes from the good country's banks to support the bad ones... everyone suffers.
