Infographic: Smartphone gamers in Japan prefer Japanese-made games

According to a recent App Annie report, Japan remains one of the most lucrative mobile app markets in the world. However only 32% of Japan’s smartphone gamers have played games that have been developed outside of Japan, and 46% of them can’t even remember the title of the foreign game they played. Japan may have opened up to the world, but its domestic market still remains very insular.

Interestingly, while 83% play smartphone games at home, the main reason why people play games in Japan would be to pass the time while travelling. Check out this infographic by Adinnovation for more numbers:
