@Anti-Matter I mostly agree with your gaming tastes in that my preference is usually more with colourful, imaginative cute games, and I usually don't like overly violent, realistic, grey and brown coloured games, with rare exceptions.

However, please don't criticise a whole country (or even 4 whole countries and plenty of islands etc comprising the UK) with a stereotype. Stereotyping a whole country is xenophobia, and when you add criticism to that stereotype implying that it is a negative one, it borders on bigotry or even racism.

The true reflection on why Nintendo has historically not sold well in the UK is nothing to do with the types of games, and everything to do with the extreme late arrival of the NES, SNES and N64, overpricing of hardware and software compared to rivals, poor PAL optimisation, and poor advertising choices and budgets. Just look at the botched UK launch of the NES compared to how it was launched in the States and you see why the NES was dominant in the USA (despite severely underpowered hardware) and the Master System was dominant in the UK (despite not having the huge marketing budgets, TV shows, merch, mascots like Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Samus etc).

Colourful, imaginative cartoon based games on non-Nintendo platforms have historically sold extremely well here, for example the Sonic series, Disney's Illusion series, and even our own 8 and 16 bit British gaming mascot Dizzy. Cute and colourful games for the Playstation consoles like Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot etc, as well as toys to life series like Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions (heck, pretty much all Lego games except Nintendo exclusive ones) have sold very well too. Also your beloved DDR games were a huge hit here for many years, even if they've kind of been eclipsed by the Just Dance series now. Kareoke games have also sold really well, as have the innevitable games based on every animated kids film and cartoon show...

Even if your general argument is correct in that in Britain its mostly a certain type of game that sells in high numbers, it is not appropriate or accurate to criticize millions of people who do not fit with that trend.

[Edit: for the sake of transparency]

I admit that I am somewhat of a hypocrite in this area having previously professionally insulted a rival by pointing out that their Twitter following was mostly from Indonesia, and therefore the followers were bought, not earned - as why would an unknown British rapper have millions of Indonesian fans despite never touring there or getting played on their radio stations. But this was at least based on facts, and I was insulting HIM for faking the fans, and NOT criticising the entire people of Indonesia.

I know very little about Indonesia (though I wish you all well!) and I wouldn't for a second dream of making blanket statements about ALL Indonesians, just as I wouldn't make statements about "all gay people" or "all black people" or "all people over 50". It just makes you sound like a bigoted (or at least willfully ignorant) person... I'm pretty sure that you are a nice guy and its not your intention, but please bare this in mind. Thanks
