Unlike the traditional video game regions (North America, Western Europe and Japan), other Regions had access to the market later, by a few months, such as South America, Asia or Australia/New Zealand. Or several years like Eastern Europe.
Closed block, we had to wait for the release of the Game Tetris (1984) to see the video game arrive in Eastern Europe.
Africa, being a very young continent, the market potential is still very limited today but it could exceed estimates in the decades to come. In fact, the arrival of video games is very late and develops very slowly in this region, however it began its explosion during the 2020s.
