Well, i have been living in Dubai for a quite some time and i would tend to agree with your observations.

plus this isn't true about online gaming, (well atleast not where i live) in here they gather in cafes to play Counter Strike or StarCraft and alot of PC games.
and in homes they mostly prefer PS3s and get games like Call of Duty and probably anything by EA.
while there is a huge following for JRPGs some people buy every RPG released no matter the console and Final Fantasy is a huge game here. (there is even a store called Moogle's Hut that sells everything Final Fantasy related)

I noticed in Jordan people mainly play Counter Strike and DotA.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

When I stayed in Lebanon for a few months I noticed how much they loved SEGA and Sony, which I thought was weird. I don't think I ever saw a Nintendo console. PC gaming is also popular with games like Counterstrike and Arx Fatalis (I think that's the name).

It's also sad to see how far behind they are in terms of releases (back in 2004), I remember going to a guys house and he had a Sega Genesis with a Playstation 2 logo on it.... I didn't say anything tho and I gave him my old Gameboy.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Lebannon is not that big with gaming, and they're pretty far from Dubai , dubai is in the gulf and here we get releases before official dates

lol, I know that, I just gave my only experience with middle eastern gaming, it's probably alot better now though considering that I went in 2004.

"Personally I believe that the NMC are holding back the gaming industry with their legislation"

I don't think that's their intention, though..
