This might be true, they are conflicting sources. IMF, World Bank, and Eurostat. But that part of my comment lead to the next part, Total discretionary income time population in North America is higher than total discretionary income times population in Europe.
Not to mention that population and income aside, gaming is still bigger in the US and Canada. We should probably take out the developing countries. Europe is a very important market, and shows alot of room for growth. Asia will probably pass North America before Europe does.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
