God so much bullshit in one post.Is it because most of the young population in oil rich KSA and UAE are
1. Rich as Fu·*
2. Bored because alcohol is prohibited, so people turn to video games for entertainment.

Nah, the PS4 is the lady. Sony is the Pimp who rented her out.Sony is the lady
Yeah, my friend got an autograph and a photo with Kojima when he visited the UAE. I also remember the first time I tried a demo of Bayonetta in one of those conventions. Needless to say that demo is what sold me on the game.
I just wish there are more middle eastern devs, some people are ridiculously talented.

He won't come back until there is another Dubai or GCC thread in OT to spout more bullshit in.A thread about the middle east always have to have at least 1 arrogantly ignorant troll driveby shitposting.
Didn't see you drawing dumb conclusions when PS4 shattered sales records in the west.
Call of duty, Minecraft...Soccer is pretty huge (FIFA and PES)I've honestly never thought about gaming in the Middle East, what games are big there?

There's also a very dedicated fanbase for RPGs and imported games ala Super Robot Wars.
Doesnt explain the disparity between this and previous gens
While the Orcs are casual gamers because they're too busy murdering each other, right?Read the title as Middle Earth. Those Hobbits are core gamers.
Hilarious.
The Kuwaiti scene here is pretty good, and it's Sony-land here, much like other Arab countries but there is a rather large Xbox user base as well.
Good to see gaming booming in our region. Especially with developers supporting the language.
Arabic support from Sony's end is a welcome and much appreciated effort.
The same games that sell well anywhere else.I've honestly never thought about gaming in the Middle East, what games are big there?
Lol this is still going. 'Twas a good time.Just imagine if MS starts selling Xbx1 to other middle eastern countries such as SA, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Israel, etc. That's roughly 300 million potential customers.
If MS can manage to convince just 1% to buy Xbx1 then they should be able to overtake Sony's lead in the region and close the world wide gap.

Sonys really doing well with the ps4, personally gonna hold off till whenever the next revision is as I can't afford one right now.
In This Post: Drinking alcohol is the only form of entertainment humans have in 2015. I'm dumbfounded by this stupidity.
So since the UAE is filthy rich, this bodes well for Sony. Great news for the PS4.
I'm saving up for my tiger pet, so when I move there I can easily fit in.
Well now that we're getting PCs that can theoretically do everything consoles can, they should be. I just- I don't understand, all the calculations check out... I...
There must be some mistake. Surely Steam Machines will rectify this.
Are those real arcades or just gaming centers with game consoles set in kiosk-like booths set to certain games?The same games that sell well anywhere else.
There are arcade gaming cafes here where they recently flew in fighting game champs to challenge each other in KoF mvc3 and sf4

Abu Dhabi has oil but no other emirate. Dubai has none for example.
Alcohol not prohibited in the UAE.
Not everyone is rich.
Why post stuff you just made up?
Consoles, especially that of the Playstation brand are definitely gaining a more global saturation.

It's no more stupid than the post below. ITT: people without passports who watch Fox news comment on the middle east.
I don't get it.
