What would be really interesting is if there were some way to track relative popularity over time. Certain franchises used to be more popular in certain areas than they are now. It would be interesting to see a comparison by region of franchises throughout their history. |
I wouldn't necessarily draw this conclusion. This data is for Nintendo-games only. Nintendo always had problems to sell in europe. First was Sega more successful here, then Playstation. The only successful systems are Wii and DS - because they were able to attract complete new users. The usual hardcore-gamers still bought the PS3. That may skew the results towards the casual titles, if this would include series on other systems, europe may not look that casual anymore.
