Absolutely. Regardless of what people say about the size of NA, it's the sales in Europe that apparently make up the bulk of sales of the game. It seems to be a fairly similar thing with my EHM community - consistently over the past decade the bulk of visitors come from the Nordic countries.
I think perhaps many North Americans aren't all that interested in coaching/GM sims. I think it's more playing the game rather than coaching - hence the EA Sports' NHL and Madden series do so well whereas we don't see any major developer in North America developing a sports management sim. Instead it's the likes of British-based SI Sports and German-based OOTP who develop the big sports management sims. If the NA market was larger then perhaps EHM would have had enough sales to make it a viable project.
