It seems with the decline in interest for XB in general, that the Swedish market has a decline in interest in gaming. 2009 to 2014 drops are quite interesting. Sweden -53% -3m Norway +9% +150k Denmark -59% -2.2m Finland -37% -800k Oddball is Norway actually increasing, though the massive drops in Sweden and Denmark are quite concerning. Sweden is still the largest market but its marketshare has fallen from 43% to 35%. Norway may have a chance at being top nordic market soon from being the smallest in 2009. |
Norway is the country that has managed the best through the financial crisis and the low interest rates have allowed a better individual economy and purchasing power. They have also loosened the strict rules on imports and tolls slightly as of late, which has helped a great deal as well.
