these are the newest stats of countries that buy pc /video games. This info is readily available and easy to find if you really wanted to know. The net is all about stats - believe me.
The problem though is that the reports aren’t about the Sims games. I know that EA has departments in both Shanghai and Delhi and that the Asian markets for game now are at least as big as the US market and expanding too.
Btw I forgot to mention earlier that my niece began to use Facebook every day when she was only 11 yrs old and she still does now about 8 yrs later. She was a Sims player too already when she was 11. But I have never seen her in any Sims forum. She seems to have enough with all her many friends on Facebook.
Kids don't generally care for the forums. I have 32 family members that play the Sims - at least 22 have played from Sims 1 and only 1 of those 32 besides me comes here. She is in her 40's. Kids generally do not come to forums unless they have a game issue or they want to read patch notes - from my experience. And in the case of my youngest family member who plays Sims he is not allowed to come on the forum, facebook, or anywhere posting is. He can only go online long enough to start his game. If he has an issue - his dad will handle it. His dad is a Simmer as well and never comes here either.
When any of the family has game issues they call or text me on the phone. LOL.
As for stats on The Sims games by country - the only place I know of was in the UK that seems to keep tally of it -
There is a difference between the US and Europe when it comes to Facebook and Twitter. This has been mentioned in Danish media many times: the US citizens prefer Twitter while the Europeans prefer Facebook. I don’t know the reasons though. But my brother and his wife never had any problems about allowing their children to use Facebook on a daily basis even when they were preteens.
Yes preteens and young teens usually don’t use the forums unless they have technical problems. But the reason is usually the forum rules that prevents them from talking about personal things too. EA doesn’t allow them to do that on the forums anymore. But Facebook does. So I am most inclined to think that EA just doesn’t allow them to discuss personal things because EA doesn’t want to pay all the full time moderators which such a forum otherwise would need. Anyway it usually keeps the youngest simmers away from the forums.
