According to this report:

Japanese home video game market = 377.4 billion yen
Overseas home video game market = 3,677.2 billion yen (around 9.74 times bigger).

Japanese hardware market = 167.5 billion yen
Overseas hardware = 2,049.9 billion yen (11.6 times bigger)

Japanese packaged software sales (167.5 billion yen) + game download sales (30.1 billion yen = Japanese software sales 197.6 billion yen
Overseas software sales = 1,627.3 billion yen (8.24 times bigger)

Japanese home video game market 377.4 billion yen.
Overseas home video game market is 3,677.2 billion yen (around 10 times bigger).

Overseas is way bigger than just 10x Japan.
Japan even with it size is still the 2nd biggest gaming market in the world.

Overseas is way bigger than just 10x Japan.

Unless I had a mistake, what I posted is the The Computer Entertainment Association of Japan White Paper data posted in that press release, factual numbers from all the Japanese publishers.

If you think that the Japanese publishers lie, then it's your issue. Not mine.

Also, Japan generating around 10% of the global gaming revenue matches other estimates like the ones from Newzoo.

Japan even with it size is still the 2nd biggest gaming market in the world.

Japan is the 3rd. China and Japan are above USA.

No. I didn't say the data is false.

I said that overseas is way bigger than 10x Japan... so the data you posted just shows how overseads still lacks in comparison with Japan in terms of gaming market.
BTW Japan is around 10% of gaming market and yes it is 2nd just behind US.

No, the top 1 and 2 are China and USA, generating together around half of the worldwide game revenue. Japan is the 3rd.

I posted a link from Newzoo as an example, but it has been like that for many years with China and USA swapping the top 1 and top 2 position with Japan being the distant 3rd since many years ago.

Then the top 4 is South Korea, and then there's UK and Germany are in top 5 and 6 who from time to time swap their position fighting for being the top grossing European country. Then under them France and Canada. And under then Italy and Spain fighting for the 4th top grossing EU country and swapping their position sharing more or less similar numbers with Brazil.

It has been more or less like that for many years.

I said that overseas is way bigger than 10x Japan... so the data you posted just shows how overseads still lacks in comparison with Japan in terms of gaming market.
BTW Japan is around 10% of gaming market and yes it is 2nd just behind US.

Japan generating around 10% of the global gaming revenue means overseas generate the other 90%, meaning overseas is around 9x bigger than Japan.

And US isn't the only one above Japan, China more than twice bigger than Japan in game revene. China generates rougly around a quarter of the global game revenue, mostly on mobile and PC.

And mobile generates around half of the game revenue. These are the reasons of why big game publishers kept increaing their investments on chasing mobile and Chinese markets.
