Forums - Gaming Discussion - Top 100 Countries Ranked In Terms Of Gaming Revenue...

So we (Spain) are the 9th of the world and the 4th in Europe... well, at least we didn't do wrong in this "contest" XD.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Someone add up all the european countries on the list, and compair it to the american one?

I just quickly added them up, only adding the billions and millions to speed the process up (it wouldn't make much different either way to include thousands).

If you were to add all of Europe together, it would place third on the list of top 5.

China:            27, 547, 039,000
US:                 25, 059, 883, 000
Europe:         20, 323, 000, 000
Japan:            12, 545, 659, 000
South Korea:  4, 187, 711, 000

If you add Russia to Europe (which are frequently counted separately), it would be 21, 808, 000, 000.    

A few observations from looking through the list

-Ireland is listed next to Iran's flag 

-Outside of the big 5 in Europe (Germany, UK, France, Spain, and Italy), I'm surprised to see how many European countries trail countries in South America, the Caribbean, south east Asia, and even North Africa/Middle East

-While the US market, being one entity and far easier to flourish in than most regions (especially due to the high percentage of internet and smart phone users), will continue to be hugely important for the forseeable future, it looks like Asia will be far and away the biggest spenders on video games in the future, and Latin America is a rapidly emerging market as well. Europe needs to start making babies :p



UK has a bigger population than France??

Since when?



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Pyro as Bill said:

Pretty sure it isn't, but they're fairly close. Now that even North Ireland's population growth rate has slowed and France has received a ton of immigrants, I'd be surprised if the UK overtakes them anytime soon.



Mexico in #12, that is a lot of FIFA copies.

EDIT: Now with English decimal separators!



Us Canadians like games! 8th place with 35 million people.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Lol, Luxembourg being above the US is hilarious. 

Well, it's a rich country as far as I know, so not that odd. But considering how little we usually hear from these small countries, it does indeed feel strange. Personally I find the high ranking of Qatar even stranger.

Thank you, kindly! I calculated the top ten for myself, but I was wondering about all the others.



Surprised to see Canada in the top 10
