50% unemployment rate in the main demographic that buys games.

So which is more irrelevant outside of the americanised markets (US/UK/AU)? Xbone or Wii U?

I'd say Xbone because at least Wii U is doing okay-ish in Japan.

I expect the Ps4/One ration to be around 5/1 all over europe, except the UK.
No matter what retailer you go to over here, it always looks like the XboxOne isn't really well recieved. Jsut the fact that every shop has plenty of Xboxes while you can't find Ps4s anywhere is pretty telling and I don't think thats because Sony produces less than MS.

I guess Sony will dominate in Japan and mainland europe.
US and UK will be closer but also in favor of Ps4.

I still think Sony should really try to capitalise on their continued European success by basing some of their games here. Something like, I don't know, a spy TPS where you're an Interpol agent hunting down a war criminal in Ukraine, or a European rally game taking place in Italy, Spain, Wales, Austria, etc. Just seems like we almost always get the short straw because all entertainment is so America-centric.

Sony has always had most of Europe. Doesn't seem like Microsoft can change that.

they tried..they have buyed all the spanish gaming press,but people still dont care

At least we have The Order.

Fucking hell... massive gap.

Wow, a cover based co-op shooter. I'm still in awe. But last year's PS3 1st party output spoiled me.

Last month I would have said WiiU but after this I'd have to say thanks to Japan then xb1 for now, but I think ms can change this better than Nintendo could.

What's the problem with that?

I concur.

Apparently it needs more mayo.

Hope this puts MS in a corner to either shape up for the Next next or willfully decline to participate in the Next next.

Is Amazon big in Spain?

It is the second largest online market.

The 16th of december, Amazon Spain sold 130.000 items, 91 per minute. It's so much in Spain, where the online shopping is still small compared with the traditional market.

The Uncharted games had several levels that took place in Europe. (London, France and Istanbul). The US isn't featured at all.

God of War is based on Greek mythology. Last time I checked that country was in Europe. Also check out the Sly games. Doesn't get more international then that.

I always thought Assassin's Creed was set up to explore interesting parts of Europe and its history, but now even that takes place in America.

At the moment there are not too many games, but in GT5 and GT6's, are stages from Spain.

Furthermore, Sony does support local development (eg Invizimals is developed in Barcelona). And Tequila Games from Madrid, the creators of Deadlight, are doing Rime for PS4.

Yeah, I loved the WRC games. But when was the last one; eight years ago?

I'm talking about more games that look and feel European. Maybe even by a European dev. Uncharted is about Americans, and even God of War stars an American man. I love both these series, but they are not European-centric productions.

EDIT - to be fair, God of War is great, and steeped in Greek Mythology. That's the kind of thing I'd like to see more of, even though Kratos is voiced by TC Carlson.
