I am from China. I think your opinion is not true.

Chinese people is not rich, but take a month income to buy a console , it is affordable.

The fact is the strict scrutiny from the CCP and pervasive plundering of people’s privacy and the cognitive manipulation of people through the data algorithms of technology companies causing this.

In China, all the legal games need being approved by the CCP’s government, and the legal consoles just have about one hundred games approved .

The technology companies like tencent have almost all the internet portals or other Internet information channels. And almost all the Chinese internet companies must structure their CCP branch, serving for the CCP’s power, and must provide the authority delete, block, and review any information to the CCP.

In China, any information the Chinese people have received must serve the benefits of the Chinese Communist Party, let alone go against it.

That’s why Chinese people are addicted in the mobile games. Almost every console game is legally banned and the console games have only a small amount of exposure and traffic.

the console gamer in China face tough technical difficulties from the CCP to buy and download/transport. Mobile games have huge propaganda. Even the former Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary/Current Prime Minister of the State Council of China Li Qiang stand up for mobile games “genshin impact“.

To be brief, in China, console game cannot bring benefits to the CCP, it provided the culture anti CCP’s values. That’s what the CCP opposes.
