The US is forecast to take China’s crown as the world’s biggest gaming market in 2019, driven by console titles, with the Chinese market slowing down in the wake of last year’s regulatory freeze on approval of new games, according to market research firm Newzoo.
The US is forecast to rake in revenue of US$36.9bil (RM154bil) globally this year, taking the top spot for the first time since 2015, according to a Newzoo report. China is projected to come a close second with a total of US$36.5bil (RM152bil) in game revenue for 2019.
