Is their any study that sizes video game markets by langage ?
I was wondering which one between French and German langage video game markets were the biggest ? I know France and Germany ones have the same size but France can add French speaking Belgium and Swizerland, and Quebec, that's more than 12m people. And German can add Austria's 8.4m.
Also, are there any differences between France and Quebec in release dates and even French langage : is there any spacial localisation or does the Quebec market matches the France one ? Or maybe most Quebec gamers buy american games to don't wait European/French releases ?
Same question for all langages.
1/ English market by far : US+UK+CAN+AUS+...
2/ Japanese ? : Japan
3/ French ? (4th?) : France (63m, 100%), Belgium (11m, 42%) + Swiss (8m, 20%) + Quebec (8m, 85%) = 76m, but 12m additionnal speakers against 8m for German.
4/ German ? (3rd?) : Germany (82m) + Austria (8m) = 90m but German VG market = France VG market, so there's only 8m more speakers to beat France.
5/ Spanish ? (xth?) : Spain + Mexico + Latin america
6/ Italian ? (xth) : Italy (61m)
7/ Portuguese ? (xth?) : Brasil + Portugal

French is the most spoken language in the world. sorry.
You also can't call USA English when English is soon to be our second language.

Your comment made me laugh ^^ I think you were not serious by saying "French is the most spoken language in the world. sorry."
Yeah, I know that Spanish is pushing hard in the south of the US, but is it really threatening the whole US English langage? I've read that' there's no official langage in US, and that's just a question of demographics. Maybe if you open the borders to mexicans and legalize them English is doomed ! ^^

Learn your self:
French followed by German are the most popular foreign languages in the world. That means that even if the francophone population is one number, In the rest of the world, the other 6,000,000,000 people mostly learn english then french then german.
I know this doesn't prove that French is the most spoken language, but I hope it illustrates to you that I know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to run a class on the subject, so whatever you want to believe, go for it.
