The Europeans: What About 'Em?

Here are some facts and predictions about the European gaming world in 2008 and beyond. A lot of people don't seem to completely understand the gaming market in Europe - why is the Playstation 3 selling better than the Xbox 360 and will Nintendo dominate the market? Hopefully some of those questions will be easier to answer after reading this article.

Note: This article is only an indication about what will likely happen during the next months and years in Europe.

Just watch this video comment and you'll know my thoughts in regards to the console wars.

Seems like Video Embed isn't working properly right now. Just copy and paste the URL into your browser.

Meus, you a Street Fighter fan? Nice, been playing Street Fighter since I was sh*tting diapers. :D Glad to see some people know about that video, thats epic right there. Anyways back on topic, the reason games for Europe get delayed or whatever is because they need to make the game in like 10 different languages. So that takes time and extra money.

Batusai5956d ago

Great article, I agree with him in all he say. This is the reallity here, in Europe.

barom5956d ago

I would have to disagree. I know like 20 ps2 owners in Norway and I know only one who got Singstar (who is a girl btw). I dont know anyone who has Buzz. I do know that soccer games sell a bunch.

I believe Sony is doing great in Europe because its platform just appeals to that continent. While X360 may have Halo 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War and BioShock. They`re all shooters. PS3 got Uncharted, Ratchet, Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Tekken 5: DR among others, all in its first year. Soon to come (hopefully) will be MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, GT5, KZ2, FFXIII

I put any money the person in that picture is not european.

England and Ireland's gaming market is dominated by the big chains (Game and Gamespot) which market the crap out of the X-box and it sells very well there. The rest of Europe is Dominated by Independents who typically don't even carry the 360 and big box stores which toss a few ratty 360 Boxes on the shelves next to the children's undergarments and Bananas and strangely enough, it doesn't sell so well.

The PS3 needs to kiss more Big chain butt and the 360 needs to actually get on store shelves if they want sell more in Europe...

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis3h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7221h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
