The US might indeed have slower internet research speeds than britan, who cares? I'm talking about consumer usage ratesg of the internet. Where do I get my figures? I'm a geography buff, I've taken a geography of the internet/telegeography class that my college offered. Again, sorry if i'm sounding like "america is so great blah blahblah" but that isn't my point, and I'm just blunt but so what.

This is the general population. The gamer subset would be a much higher figure.

Internet use penetration (% of population)

Sweden 75.6%
Australia 71.9%
US 69.7%
Japan 67.1%
UK 62.3%

What dallas said was substantially correct, though. Higher than Japan, and only five countries with higher pentrations, all small. The UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy are all substantially lower.

I'm still essentially correct, b/c even being #3, we still have a higher # of people using the internet than any other country.  Big deal if what...2 countries have a bigger % so what?   You're making my statement out to be 180 degrees from the truth when I'm basically dead-on.

Dallas has a point and all, but here's the catch: Who's to say what others should have or not. That's kind of like dividing the consumers into the higher and lower class divisions. Of course that sounds anything but good.

Well, from a business standpoint it doesn't make a lot of sense to send a PS3 with wireless features and an ethernet cord to say south africa.  But hey, I'm just blunt like that.

Stating, "I'm just blunt like that" adds zero validity do anything you say. At any rate, the video game markets NA, Japan, Europe, Pal, all have high concentration of broadband. I'm pretty South Africa is not the issue.

Stating that I am blunt isn't about validity/crediblity or the lack of it, it is about subject matter, which wojitas mentioned as a source of this arguement.
