>top 7 global time spent playing video games
>Japan nowhere to be seen
What went wrong?
>>340062369
Mobile phones.
>>340062369
japanese are smart enough to put their time into something more productive, like actually MAKING games, drawing mangas and animes. you think where it all comes from.
>>340062369
Probably because Japan wasn't in the study.
>>340062779
drawing little girls with big eyes is more productive than playing video games?
>>340062582
This. People don't realize how huge the mobile market is in Japan.
Now if OPs source would include mobile, then I'd be surprised.
>>340062369
how was this study made?
>>340062927
You can sell those drawings to autists for a bunch of moni.
>>340062927
yeah, an it takes time, both to master drawing human body and to make those comics/arts.
creating above anything else, no matter what
Eroge and visual novels arent games
>>340062927
uh, yes? i dont even like anime but at least i know playing vidya is one of the least productive thngs you can do with your life, even less productive than shitposting
>>340062369
>the top countries are all huge shitholes
kek

How is it that Brazil is so high?
Is it all just free to play games running on toasters?
>>340062369
>e-sports
That's why.
If it was mobile + handheld gaming, then it would be a whole different story
>>340063040
You can play vidya in front of autists for a bunch of moni.
What exactly is an "e-sports related activity"? Just any competitive multiplayer game?
Too busy thinking about their declining birth rates.
I'd really like to know how they acquired that data.
>>340062369
Japs make and export games so other nations become less productive.
>>340063480
I'd imagine
>Streaming e-sports on twitch
>Going to events
>Sitting around in razer/twitch/"favourite team" apparel in malls/parks showing your poor taste in clothes.
>>340063382
That requires having a personallity.
>>340063585
Probably a poll on Gamefacks.
Japs are like 10 hours in school from Monday to Saturday. No shit they don't have time for games.
>% of players where consumption time is over 13 hours
That's because while Japs love games, and have a culture for it, not many of them play it for more than half of their day.
The ones that can and do are very, very few and niche, but just more well known.
Japanese gamers play a lot, not a lot of Japanese play games.
>>340062369
>includes esports-related activities
So probably watching streams are considered "playing video games" in that case. I don't know how big Japan is into that stuff.
>>340063696
I fucking love EDC threads on /k/
>>340063049
science is way more important than creative arts.
>>340063274
Brazil is one of the biggest potential gaming market, even more so than China.
Problem is their government is full of stupid, corrupt old men that put high taxes in anything that's not made in their own country and games are expensive as hell.

>Brazil is one of the biggest potential gaming market
Brazil is a shithole, what's new?
>>340063902
They are pretty extreme in both ways regardling time they are not in school.
It's either
>after school clubs, baseball, kendo, making paper mache tentacles and filming schoolgirl javs
>Socialising, this includes playing games at arcades, going to the beach, sitting around in cosplay clothes.
>Being shouted at by the elderly on public transport for disrespecting them / getting raped by the elderly on public transport
or
>Being an otaku
The problem there is that otaku don't go out so how would they be a part of that poll?
>>340062779
it says "percent of leisure hours" dumbass
making games would count as work hours
>>340063696
besides all the extra bait stuff, how the fuck do you have a gun and that many knives on you all the time?
like where do you put them?
anything more than phone/keys/wallet just seems silly to me
>>340064496
Cargo shorts have a lot of pockets
>>340064259
In fairness that's due to the fucking price of the stuff there.
>>340064259
Brazilians play on PC
