You ppl sound so surprised. I dont think EA gets their record sales in Singapore.

Haha! Very funny...

Singapore has their own Electronic Arts website. You should've seen the game stores in Singapore when NFSU2 was out. They're jam packed with customers, and NFSU2 posters were everywhere.

Its a joke. Get it? Laugh. Haha?

I meant, the US has more sales than a country such as Singapore. I didnt mean Singapore didnt generate sales at all.

Singapore is part of Asia, so I shall count as Asia.

The amount of EA Games sold in Asia probably might be a few percent lesser than the US, but Asia made it pretty big. Well at least in Singapore, most of their favourite EA Games is Sims.

And considering that our population is only ~20million, I'm not suprised

There is no reason for them to come here.

Here in europe we don't have that type of events either.

Well I'm sure when Half Life 2 was released, Europe had a big party, 'cos it happened in Singapore. It even went in the news headlines.
