As I compulsively check the site stats, it’s quite noticeable that the USA and UK members make up most of the membership:
Since I intended Swopster for the English-speaking world at large, its been capable of supporting Canada, Australia and New Zealand from day one. I’ve even had inquiries about producing a German version.
But I have to say, the take-up in these three countries has been a little disappointing.
Now, I can understand New Zealand not being able to compete with the USA and UK in terms of numbers of video-gamers, but Canada? Australia? These are huge countries with pretty large populations.
A quick check over at Wikipedia shows the following populations:
| USA | 300,000,000 | |
| UK | 60,000,000 | |
| Canada | 33,000,000 | |
| Australia | 21,000,000 | |
| New Zealand | 4,000,000 | |
So how come there are so few Canadians and Australians swapping video-games?
