Well, according to an old-ish Nielsen study, EU was bigger market than US for games in 2008. That's just EU. If we count Russia and other non-EU contries Europe has over 700 million people. So datacenters in Europe would be used for a lot of people+other countries that have EU closer than Canada. Also, I wonder how many ppl already left because of the horrendous lag, thus making the decision to not have EU datacenter because of lack of players (if it was because of that) somewhat a self fulfilling prophecy.
