it doesn't count Japanese people with personal computers.

I'm not gonna go through the replies and see if anyone's already mentioned it, but this is because all the old gacha/mmos that japs played were all browser games, which count for "PC gaming" here. Japs have since switched to playing those on their phone.
Actual PC gaming is on the rise, and makes as much revenue as their console market in Japan.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I have this notion that PC gaming's job in Japan was porn games since forever, every time I see pc gaming depicted in their media is for some porn vn and the occasional mmorpg. Now, payment processors banned those games everywhere, portables like Vita and Switch took their part of the vn cake (although, without porn but still) and phones with their gachas took the rest. The last nail in the coffin is the PS brand which job is to be a dumbed down pc box to keep people away from pc, but in this case, instead of porn, the last niche job its stealing from pc is to be a premium machine with the latest tech, so, PC gaming in the eyes of the japanese was stripped of almost all its value.

its from self reporting and "business collection" whatever that means. I assume that is netcafes and the like, but it probably also has some other information in it as well.
but they pretty much directly say that they only know who has a pc if they directly say they have one, ie they have no fucking idea.

and not to mention the stigma against pc gaming in Japan I don't really think its accurate information.

Like doesn't apex legends have more players in Japan than the US and Europe and almost as many as them combined when just looking at pc players? its just one game but there are literally millions of Japanese PC gamers. as of 2025 at least from a quick google search it still seems to be the case.

A lot of these places I see information get posted about are such utter bullshit getting "information" from what might as well be there ass. Every time I look into it they just straight up say its pretty much made up.
The gacha gaming rankings infographics you see posted every month or w/e are created from the most absurd shit I have ever seen and its funny how seriously people treat them when its obviously all just bullshit.

How come a system worse than a 5 year old console can play more and better games?

I like how everyone just ignores that PC includes god damn people who play browser games.

That's like those studies that say 50% of gamers are women because they play mobileshit.

Sony consoles always sell very well without exception + think of the the shitload of Japan exclusive titles we never get to play in the west. Currently the Switch 2 is obviously really popular but a lot of Nintendo dominance has been due to the handheld market no? I'm mainly talking about consistency over the years.

This is to be expected from Japan as they continue to embrace convenience. A lot of Japs travel often and commute to work, and don't have a lot of time to spend on stationary devices like Consoles and PC as a result, this is the main reason why mobile gaming is so popular over there. The other reason being that they're moving into smaller living spaces which may not accommodate bulky hardware, those who still opt to game on PC do so in internet cafes rather than at home.

All these fucking things make up their own definitions of what a game is.


I am 100% sure it actually did decrease by 3 million if you're counting Visual Novels and Eroge as game that people played they've all moved on to Mobile phones or play them on their PCs.

Meanwhile if we're talking actual what every sane person would consider games I have been visiting Japan since 2009 and there no quesiton that PC gaming is more popular then ever by a long shot.

Vtubers and Covid got million hooked and they're seem to be staying, young Japanese kids are playing Minecraft and shooting games something everyone was saying was impossible because "Japanese people get motion sickness while playing FPS game sand other utter nonsense"

Comparing Yodobashi Akiba in 2009 and 2025 it's like another dimension. Half the year on the gaming floor is PC gear today. With a small PS5 section on one side and a much bigger Nintendo section on the other side.

And thats not all, softmap that used to be focused on Macbooks and iMacs is now a gaming one.

Also in the last 5 years as Steam gets more of gatcha they're becoming the defacto high end way to play your gatcha games in the best way. So that market is going big too as you can see here.

NTA but the study itself isn't wrong, it's just misleading. What isn't stated as prominently as it should be is that it includes browser gaming with PC gaming and most mobile games in Japan used to be browser based instead of app based until around 2015 when the Japanese started adopting smart phones instead of flip phones.

It just means the nips are playing less browser based mobile games but those are basically dead outside of a few leftover like Granblue Fantasy. So the entire article is predicated on something silly, PC gaming itself has grown significantly over that time period in Japan it's just that their biggest gaming market(mobile) is now counted as something different. If anything it's impressive that it's only down 3 million when the Japanese were all playing browser games on Mobage and Gree 10 years ago.

Also, fuck all eric posters. You are a blight on this site.
