    Man, things are a LOT worse in the US than the media makes you believe if the median income is $2600 a year.

      Found the American. Your US is a rich small country by population, so US income sizes have virtually zero impact on the world-wide median.

        I’m Swedish… A rich small country.

        I didn’t realize you were talking global median income, since it was not defined.

        I don’t know how great of a barometer for economics a luxury goods/service like a AAA video game is, though.
