interesting that Asia is included as a continent, then for Europe it's only the European Union, and then finally only one country is included for US.

If the comparison was fair I'm pretty sure we'd see that Asia is the smallest of the three markets.

Combining the EU countries makes sense:

"European Union, which still has a primary task of creating and maintaining the single market. In particular it seeks to guarantee four freedoms, which relate to ensuring the free movement of goods, capital, people and services within the area."

Logic isn't strong with you... First of all, omgwtfbbq didn't say EU countries shouldn't be combined. Second, what's being criticized is the different criteria used in each of the three cases.

 

LOL, I didn't even dispute the comparison was fair or not. But IMO it's far more interesting to compare EU vs US than comparing Netherlands vs United States or Liechtenstein vs United States regarding aboslute figures.

The force isn't very strong with you.

In any case, I think the report is interesting. As often people from the US claim the US gaming market is just as big or sometimes even bigger than the rest of the world combined (which is only true for NA regarding XBox and 360 sales).
