In Reply to: The format war will be fought and won in the market with the highest number of consumers: the USA. posted by oscar on December 6, 2007 at 07:08:06:
Europe have more people and more money according to CIA. Note how much the USD droped since 2006.
USA is now less than 20% of the world economy.
If the USA economy tanks, the world will keep on going and drag USA up again. The growth in Brazil, Russia, India, China and Europe is strong and based mainly on savings.
