The Chinese gaming market is incredibly competitive. If we exclude games with established user bases (such as those from Tencent and NetEase) and focus solely on competition based on product quality, many mobile games that appear quite promising actually perform only moderately well in the Chinese market—yet when they enter the Japanese market, they still manage to achieve success beyond expectations. This is because the technical capabilities of Japan’s domestic mobile gaming industry lag far behind those of China, and the Japanese mobile gaming market has begun to exhibit some symptoms of “Galápagos syndrome.”

That’s not exactly it, because most of those same games are also competing in JP. The main difference is GDP per capita (CN is still 1/3rd of JP) and the fact that CN players play PVP games far more than JP players. The top earning games in CN are PVP games like Honor of Kings and PUBG and that crowd rarely even touch anime games.

China GDP per capita is more like 1/2 of Japan's, not 1/3 (in 2026) and catching up fast
