Why US=World argument might actually be legitimate

The US is 35-40% of the video game market. Europe is 30-35%. Actually, some markets spend more per capita on games than the US, and Europe has a higher GDP than the US, with some countries having a much higher GDP per capita. For example, twice as high in Luxembourg or Norway. And not only Europe of course, every market counts.

It's a pity that so many Americans are so misinformed about what's going on outside their country. The ones that I personally know love Europe and Japan and actually view it favourably compared to the US. Of course my sample is biased because I have met them abroad in the first place, but I think the problem is many Americans have little information of what happens in other countries.

I agree about your post, Europe is a much better place to live in, atleast for the middle and lower class people. I know you weren't specifically directing this towards me or the OP, but I have to say we were talking about the Video Game market, and that U.S is the most important, at other stuff such as living, jobs/work etc Europe wins hands down and I freely admit that.
