Well, the Xbox 360 became officially available here only last year, and we are the fourth largest gaming market in the world.


Do you have any source on that? I think at least USA, Japan, South Korea, The UK, Germany and Canada are bigger than Brazil. And all the sources I've seen tell me that.

Irony: the tech that drives Kinect was developed in...Israel.



A Board With No Name

No doubt they will sell a lot of FPS's there.


 But that's still pretty mean and offensive.

Why is it mean and offensive? It is, after all, the only country in the whole world (as far as I know) that has mandatory military service for all citizens once they turned 18 (for three whole years). If you don't go to the army at 18 then you go to jail. Their culture is centered around the military for reasons that we don't need to discuss here.

Well the 360 should look like a next-gen system sitting right beside the WiiU.

This should boost lifetime sales by about 10m.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

South Korea has a similar rule.

With a population of only 7.9 million that's pretty much impossible.  I guessing maybe by 1 million max.

Not South Korea. You're thinking North Korea with the whole nuclear arms crisis.
