Mexico is tier 1 now?

Mexico is tier 1 now?

It's one of the few markets where they are on top; and for that, it's really smart for them to capitalize on that. This is a good thing, I hope it's a success for them and this make Nintendo and Sony to take the market more seriously

 

[Garraboa]

Stuff like this is why Xbox is on top in Mexico. The seedling was planted when they started bundling Spanish language manuals in Original Xbox games, unheard of at the time. A little commitment like that to your different markets goes a long way.

Oh yes, I saw that thread lately and was suit surprised by that.
I never saw it being mentioned before though and am really asking if Mexico is really tier 1 for MS.

Are we expecting anything from this? Phil briefing and Major Nelson just confirmed that he will also be in attendance.

 

[Lonely1]

I remember reading a few years ago that Mexico was Xbox fourth strongest market, after the UK.

 

[SalvaPot]

Xbox and FIFA go hand in hand here.

 

[EatinOlives]

Not surprising. The Xbox is crazy popular there.

Nope. Just a chance for Mexican gamers to meets some Devs, listen to some talks and play some upcoming games.

 

[Danis Saur]
