UPDATING...

I'm new in this section and I couldn't find an Italian thread so I decided to open one, a mix between the fantastic Toronto AGE thread and other national topics.

This thread is for Italian Gaffers and for foreign Gaffers who are interested in Italian stuff.

Traditionally a Playstation country, in the last generation Wii had a big success who faded away in the last years. Xbox 360 is quite popular too but playstation is still on the top, vita excluded.

We are colonized by Gamestop and Mediamarkt.
Games are not cheap here, so lots of hardcore games buy games from Uk.
Piracy(in decline) and smartphones are a big deal, imagine their combination lol
