Tier1 countries

Hello

Everybody knows that users from US are the most active buyers of premium accounts. Is there any other countries with the same or similar level of income? Western Europe?
And who is the worst buyer? China?

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

 

Many European countries (especially Western), Australia, Canada, South Korea, India, Russia, and Japan all have citizens with the money to pay like Americans do (just not as many). China is on the rise in the online world. They are earning more, becoming big consumers, and getting used to using the Internet. I would put them far from being the worst buyers, but definitely not the best at the moment. Some countries in Latin and South America are starting to get into using the Internet, but their growth is slower and suffers a lot not just from their economies, but also from their infrastructure.

As for who the worst would be, I honestly don't know. Look to undeveloped countries and countries that are somewhat developed but still suffer from poor economies.

Edit: Wanted to add that you can look at the gaming industry (MMO's specifically) as a good indicator of where the money is. See which countries game companies are getting their titles released in. They don't survive without paying customers so, if they are going somewhere, they have done their research and know that not only are there Internet users but also folks with money to spend on entertainment (not a necessity).

 

I made a list of biggest countries.
