Japan, spearhead of financial success

The numbers speak for themselves: nearly half of the revenues (45%) come from Japan. Japanese gamers demonstrate exceptional engagement with an average spend per user of $11.93 in major Asian markets. The United States follows with 25% of revenue, while Hong Kong, Taiwan and France round out the top with 4% each.

A surprising geographic distribution of downloads

Japan, Germany, the UK and France each account for around 4% of total downloads. This disparity between revenues and downloads reveals radically different consumption habits across regions.

iOS dominates revenues, Android dominates downloads

Paradoxically, Android leads the dance of downloads with 4.2 million installations compared to 3.3 million for iOS.
