That was cool, but I still don't know if the market of games in Russia is as big as in UK, Germany etc... ;)
I really want to know if this news is good for CDP's business or if it's only good for vanity?
As a matter of fact, it's a very good sign for business. Eastern Europe, including Russia and Poland is one of the biggest reasons PC games are still around. Europe PC games sales have remained rather steady, in contrast to America where they aren't as big anymore.
Nonsense! As you will see from this 2007 research the PC market is rather healthy.
"US retailers sold USD 203 million worth of PC games in the first two months of 2007 - a 48 per cent year-on-year increase, according to an analyst for the NPD Group.
Speaking to the New York Times, NPD's Anita Frazier noted that sales in the same period last year reached only USD 136.8 million. These figures do not include online sales or subscription revenue, often cited as the major growth areas in the PC gaming market."
