Niko believes that 80% of console revenues in China are coming from gray market sales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Console gamers and console game revenue growth rates are in the double digits in mainland China,&#8221; said Niko founder and president Lisa Hanson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The demand for consoles comes from not only higher levels [of] spending by gamers, but by a niche set of gamers seeking high quality, global games beyond what is found in PC and mobile games in China.  Gamers may have different preferences for gameplay and visuals, but they all want great, high-quality games and consoles have offered that for many years. &#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Niko said the Switch is currently the market-leading console in China, but added that the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S were &#8220;key drivers of growth&#8221; last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\tfunction runGoogleAnalytics(anonymous) {<\/p>\n<p>\tif (window.gaDone) return;<\/p>\n<p>\t(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){\n\t(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),\n\tm=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)\n\t})(window,document,'script','\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js','ga');<\/p>\n<p>\tvar args = {\n\t\t\"trackingId\": \"UA-5699723-1\",\n\t\t\"cookieDomain\": \".gamesindustry.biz\"\n\t};<\/p>\n<p>\tif(anonymous) {\n\t\targs[\"storage\"] = \"none\";\n\t}<\/p>\n<p>\tga('create', args);\n\tga('require', 'displayfeatures');\n\tga('require', 'linkid', 'linkid.js');<\/p>\n<p>\tif(anonymous) {\n\t\tga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);\n\t}<\/p>\n<p>\tga('set', 'dimension5', 'europe');\t\n\t\t\t\t ga('set', 'dimension6', 'none');<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t ga('set', 'dimension1', 'article');\t\t\t ga('set', 'dimension2', 'business');\t\t\t ga('set', 'dimension3', 'Brendan Sinclair');\t\t\t ga('set', 'dimension4', 'no');\t\t\n\t\tga('set', 'dimension12', 'no');<\/p>\n<p>\tga('send', 'pageview');<\/p>\n<p>\tif ( window.location.href.substr(-11) == \"#justposted\" ) {\n\t\tga('send', 'event', 'Comments', 'Posted', '2022-05-31-niko-chinese-console-market-tops-usd2bn', {\n\t\t\t'dimension1': 'article',\n\t\t\t'dimension2': 'business',\n\t\t\t'dimension3': 'Brendan Sinclair'\n\t\t});\n\t}<\/p>\n<p>\twindow.gaDone = true;<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>\t\tfunction runComscore() {\n\tvar _comscore = _comscore || [];\n\t_comscore.push({ c1: \"2\", c2: \"8518622\" });\n\t(function() {\n\t\tvar s = document.createElement(\"script\");\n\t\tel = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n\t\ts.async = true;\n\t\ts.src = \"https:\/\/sb.scorecardresearch.com\/beacon.js\";\n\t\tel.parentNode.insertBefore(s, el);\n\t})();\n}<\/p>\n<p>window.PARSELY = window.PARSELY || {\n  autotrack: false,\n  onReady: function() {\n    PARSELY.updateDefaults({\n      data: {\n        user: 'unregistered'\n      }\n    });\n    PARSELY.beacon.trackPageView();\n  }\n};<\/p>\n<p>function runParsely() {\n  if (window.parselyDone) return;<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d) {\n    var b = d.body;\n    var e = d.createElement('script');\n    e.id = 'parsely-cfg';\n    e.src=\"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/gamesindustry.biz\/p.js\";\n    b.appendChild(e);\n  })(document);<\/p>\n<p>  window.parselyDone = true;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\t\tfunction runFacebookPixel() {<\/p>\n<p>\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\tdocument,'script','\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');<\/p>\n<p>\tfbq('init', '1863210500478936');\n\tfbq('track', 'PageView');<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>\t\tfunction runLinkedinInsights() {<\/p>\n<p>  _linkedin_partner_id = \"2840722\";\n  window._linkedin_data_partner_ids = window._linkedin_data_partner_ids || [];\n  window._linkedin_data_partner_ids.push(_linkedin_partner_id);<\/p>\n<p>  (function() {\n    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n    var b = document.createElement(\"script\");\n    b.type = \"text\/javascript\";b.async = true;\n    b.src = \"https:\/\/snap.licdn.com\/li.lms-analytics\/insight.min.js\";\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(b, s);\n  })();<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>\t\tfunction runTwitterPixel() {<\/p>\n<p>  !function(e,t,n,s,u,a){e.twq||(s=e.twq=function(){s.exe?s.exe.apply(s,arguments):s.queue.push(arguments);\n  },s.version='1.1',s.queue=[],u=t.createElement(n),u.async=!0,u.src=\"https:\/\/static.ads-twitter.com\/uwt.js\",\n  a=t.getElementsByTagName(n)[0],a.parentNode.insertBefore(u,a))}(window,document,'script');<\/p>\n<p>  twq('init','o5k31');\n  twq('track','PageView');<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>\t\tconst frames = window.frames;\nfor (let i = 0;
