My middle eastern broskis, I think both yours are on the list now too.

Mostly smaller contries, but together easily 200 million people

I really wish they would improve their launcher. It’s genuinely a giant piece of shit. It will sometimes refuse to install games altogether.

The UAE already had it, has done for a while.

Get it out there to as many as possible before ABK deal goes through

Egypt alone is 109M, I would say roughly around 800M total.

You are right. I thought it's mostly 5-30 million. Guess my geography teacher was right when he said i suck

 

[Roman Empire]

Give it or take 2-3 years and I don't know how much they can grow after this. Price adjustments are bound to happen.

So I was bored and waiting for sunset to break my fast (13min to go) and calculated all the populations. You underestimated by half, and I overestimated by double, lol. It's roughly:

451.8M people.

Ok, we are both geography idiots then i guess

The regional pricing seems odd. It's showing up as 8GBP for Georgia but it's only like 1 in turkey. Turkey is much richer than Georgia.

They are busy with hookah hash and belly dancers. They have no time for games.

 

[adamsapple]

Local Gaffers, please share what the local prices you see for your respective region ?

 

[Murdok]

???

 

[reksveks]

BTW they have restricted how many months of xbox live you can stack in Turkey and Argentina.

Hopefully new sub numbers are released soon. Interesting to know.
