From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I compared the US "Video game" article to the Spanish equivalent page.

The percentage of concepts that were the similar on both pages is 18% (!!).

The US page on "video game" is massive. It is loaded with information about video games. The thing that stood out to me the most was that the US page had a video game template, which contained numerous links such as: the different platforms, genres, and even lists of the most popular online games, most profitable, highest rated, and etc. The US page also goes into detail about video games. It talks about game theory, the social aspects of gaming, manipulation in video games, ESRB ratings, an much more.

The Spanish page is a dwarf in comparison to the US one. There is no template on this article and the genres were actually a main subsection with many entries. There is a list of the top 10 highest-grossing games right there on the page. The Spanish page also goes into detail about the different types of gamers including, (if I can translate properly) typical gamers, casual gamers, programmers, and professional gamers.

At least both pages contained a history of video games, although the Spanish one is a little brief.
