I didn't know Canada ranked so high
Although this is a little old, it does show some surprising statistics. Nearly as many females play games in Canada and 50% of Canadians are gamers!
I'm Canadian and I wish they showed what percentage play PS3 vs 360. I don't know anyone who has a 360 anymore (everyone started with 360 then switched after it broke or just for the free online). Ever person I've talked to and all my friends think paying for online is plain stupid.
I only recently agreed with them (Dec 2012).
this is pretty interesting.
Anyone see their top ten titles? No surprise that a CoD title is up there but MW3? No Black Ops love?
So if Canada is 3rd who is 1st and 2nd?
