So that data aren't unexpected, ad you know how italy is, if they're to block the p2p i really don't think that game sales are going to increase. I don't think that people will lower primary expenses to buy games, eating and living came first, and if they can't download games they just don't play games.

I hope they'll make some as well; given their immense cultural heritage and artistic abilities, they should be able to create something wonderful. It’s good to see Italians getting into video games.

Since 2007 Italy videogames sales have increased dramatically. 2007 was an exceptional year which seemed unreachable, but 2008 beated it by far, doubling, in just two years, the income for videogames distributors. 2009, in spite of a terrible economic crisis which struck harshly Italy too, first data from the first semester are very good. This puts Italy as one the first countries in European Union with regard to videogames sales growth rate. So, my conjecture, fully supported by data (bear in mind that p2p in Italy as mass phenomenon exploded not before 2004) is that videogames piracy is very good for videogames sales. Source for data (sorry in Italian, but you can find the numbers): http://vitadigitale.corriere.it/2009/04/videogiochi_focus_aesvi.html Bye!
