It would be interesting to see an overall data, considered many part of the world (like China) consoles like Playstation and Xbox aren't even a thing.
Places like China even gaming PCs aren't really a thing. They mostly play on mobile, because that's pretty much all they can realistically afford.
Gaming cafes equipped with gaming PCs is a pretty big market in China. Even if they can't afford to own one personally, lots of Chinese people game on PC.
It’s not exact.
In fact, gaming cafe is relatively rare in China, especially the blockade and control during the COVID-19 struck it hard.
The Chinese people mostly use the PC at home. It’s cheaper than go to the gaming cafe. It’s because the house prices and rent in China is very high, cause by the CCP monopolized all the land trade in the market. They called that “socialist public ownership”, it means all resources in China legally belong to the CCP, includes the lands.
The very important reason Chinese people game on the PC is that the CCP needs the PCs to “help building a great country”. So it can’t be banned. Then lots of people pretend to buy it for work, but actually use it for gaming or other entertainment most of the time…
That’s why the Biden government banned the AI using by China. The CCP will definitely use it to enhance its military capabilities and international influence.
