Worldwide, there are now 11 countries with annual games revenue of over $1 billion, according to the firm. 

 

 Oh. I wonder what those 11 countries are. I would have though that Sweden would make the top 10, but that's impossible since Swedish revenue from game software is 2.3 billion Swedish crowns (if I remember correctly) which equals rufly $0.38 billion. Add HW to that and it's rufly $0.6 billion only. Not even close to $1 billion.

1. USA
2. Japan
3. UK
4. Germany
5. South Korea
6. France
7. Italy
8. Canada
9. Spain
10. Australia
11. The Netherlands? Mexico? China?

 

 

I think Canada would be number 4 on the list. Video games are as strong there as UK and USA unlike Germany and France. It's just the population difference that puts Canada under. Your guesses seem good. I think Mexico would be number 11 but I'm not sure.
