I've been pretty curious about each country's predominant genre in terms of what the average guy on the street is most likely to say when you ask him what kind of game he plays the most.

I know that the US is hands down console FPS's and I have a feeling that a lot of European countries are similar, but I also think I could be totally wrong! Let me know =)

console shooters >_<

I used to be one of those guys. CoD, Killzone, Battlefield, Resistance, Halo, Gears.

The only ones with any competitive value are Halo and Gears, and I still have a soft spot in my heart for Halo because it was my first eSport.

I think Quake Live is popular in Eastern Europe, but maybe its just the best players that come from there. I'm really fascinated with the thread idea though.
I will cheer for a Slayers Terran over any other player.

Dancing games

That's for starters.

Pc fps definitely, we started playing quake using LANs at our schools and later got famous in CS. Then there's the battlefield games ofcourse more or less for fun than competition.

Well.. Lol, random games like battlefield heroes and CoD are most played. Barely hear anyone playing something else.
Cod style fps probably most played (Haven't heard of 1.6 players. Very few CS:S) but LoL is played alot too. Nowadays it's not so easy to find wow players like it was 1-3 years ago.

Starcraft 2 is something finnish people seem to suck at. I know 11 IRL and one of them is platinium, others silver/bronze. Most of them quit already claiming that the game is not easy enough.

Over 14year old console gamers pretty rare. That's how I feel atleast.

My buddies from Taiwan told me about the games they have there. In general, the most popular games there are the ones that are F2P

It's because the Finnish are out driving, busy owning up the F1 and rally worlds. Mika Häkkinen ftw .

I think in most latin european country football (soccer) games are pretty popular. PES and FIFA are played a lot. At least in France casual (12 -25 male player) play football games. Otherwise I guess people play a lot of wii games.

PC FPS by a long shot, and then the Dota genre or whatever you care to call it. I think most of Balkans + eastern Europe is similar as well.

Maybe, I'd lean more towards console sport games or something.
Wonder if there is any documentation anywhere that would give insight into this...

Korea, China are MMO's definetly
Sea might be dota although I am not sure about it.
Africa I wouldn't know
South America i wouldn't know
Eastern Europe is League of Legends/Dota probably aswell
Western Europe is FPS I believe, probably console over computer but I am not sure about that.

NA is totally domianted by console FPS.

Thats what I think anyway.

QL isn't popular anywhere, unfortunately. There are just "a lot" of strong players from there, yeah.
