DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “China Console Games 2022” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Console gamers and console game revenue growth rates are in the double digits in mainland China.
The demand for consoles comes from not only higher levels of spending by gamers, but from a niche set of gamers seeking high-quality, global games beyond what is found in PC and mobile games in China. Since the overturn of the console ban in 2014, a healthy legal console games market in China is well underway.
The increase in spending through 2026 will primarily be driven by ongoing sales of the Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation, and Microsoft Xbox, and very aggressive growth of demand for high-end games from Chinese gamers.
