Activision-Blizzard, Epic, Microsoft, Take-Two, Electronic Arts, and Sony (partially) are all American and have 10x the revenue. China and Japan are both ahead of EU as a whole.

I disagree, I find it quite relevant that a larger population somehow has less than 1/10th of the market share in products they consume at an equal rate. One large successful company in a massive industry (video games) is nothing to be proud of when you have 450M people -- it is troubling.


Ubisoft isn't the only large successful game company in the EU though. It was a single example.

Yes, the US is undoubtedly ahead in that regard as they are in most tech. Japan is also famous for its video game industry.

China is definitely one to be impressed with more than the EU in terms of emerging tech dominance [from a market that isn't a historical powerhouse in the way US and Japan are]. That doesn't mean the EU is "bad at computers" or that all tech companies are in the US, which is what I was responding to.
