Also i'm not sure everything the UK has done combined adds up to this... It's practically it's own cultural revolution.

I think that the person who came up with Tetris is actually Russian :P

I would think it's really a tie between Japan and America. The US invented gaming and popularized it but Japan has dominated gaming and game development for the past couple decades. They also produced most home consoles.

I'd actually say the most dominant game currently was developed in America.

I mean it freaking wrecks peoples lives and is considered by some studies as addictive as heroin.

Starcraft and World of Warcraft immediately came to mind after I read your post Kasz216.

As for poster above me... You are correct sir the reator of Tetris is from Russia. They had an interview with him I in Gameinformer a few months back I believe.

How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect & PS3 wants to Move! Why are both systems having such relationship problems? The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

People saying anything other than the US are really crazy, Sorry !!

If we are talking about the whole gaming industry then by far the US has been the greatest contributor and it's not even close. Even when the market was dominated by Japanese consoles who do you think designed the hardware Tech inside those console ? Who do you think created the first Video game, Arcade game, Game console ? Who do you think created the first 3D polygon and created real 3D graphics ? and lastly Who designed the CPU and GPU for all the consoles on the market today ?

The answer to above is the US clear and simple. Every genre that is poplar today was born by a US dev even RPGs the only genre Japan created is probably rape games !!

I'm telling you guys if you want to look at it in an objectively matter than any answer other than the US is a wrong answer, sorry.
