The standard of living in much of the EU is pretty bad, and in the rest there generally aren't many people. There may be 800 million total, but only a small subset of them are marketable.
The U.S. has almost as much GDP as the entire EU, while having <40% of the population which, most importantly, means a lot more discretionary income.
I hope you didn't take my statements as jingoistic, it's just a well-known fact that U.S. users monetize much better than the rest of the world in general.
American entrepreneurs should keep away from this market! THERE IS NO MONEY TO BE HAD HERE.
