Console video game software and hardware market size in Japan 2013-2022

Published by Statista Research Department, Nov 13, 2023
The sales of the console video game industry in Japan amounted to 377.4 billion Japanese yen in 2022, which was an increase of 5.5 billion yen compared to the previous year. The rebound in 2017 can be explained by the success of the Nintendo Switch, which was released in March of that year. The growth in 2020 was related to the high demand for home entertainment during the COVID pandemic as well as the release of new consoles by Sony and Microsoft.
