    $50 is, like, a week of median per-capita household income.

      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.
