China at first?! I couldn't have even guessed that.
The ratio of Revenue/Internet users is lowest in India, which shows Indians are on top in case of piracy. Lol!
Even small countries like Spain, Korea and Indonesia are above India.

 

[chimera201]

Most of the Indian revenue must be from ad based mobile games

Japan's game industry is really good.

Wow, Watch Dogs 2 has more owners in China than US on Steam.

Piracy-wise China is not anything less than India.
But China has a huge MMO scene with a lot of people spending in freemium games. Its such a huge issue in China that their govt. has ordered companies to reveal percentage probability of loot drops and items from lootboxes to the public.

I think the Chinese spend money on games only to sell those accounts/items to western markets at a profit through other sources. Happens with Dota 2 and World of Warcraft.

1. Hardware in India is relatively expensive.
2. Multi-player gamers are again rarity due to the nature of the game. It requires a good Network infrastructure which pretty much sucks in India.
3. Most of the folks end up playing with the pirated copies because of easy accessibility to it.
4. Things are changing nowadays, but still gaming isn't something people really look up to in India. Parents often persuade their kids and teenagers not to game.

You should look at the unusually popular stats. That is what matters in comparison to other countries. And the stats are based on recent 2 weeks of popular games. It's not all time stats. So keep that in mind.

The top 10 unusually popular AAA games based on past 2 weeks are:
#1 Just Cause 3
#2 Hitman
#3 Watch Dogs 2
#4 F1 2016
#5 Rise of the Tomb Raider
#6 Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
#7 Rainbow Six Siege
#8 MGSV
#9 Batman Arkham Knight
#10 Ghost Recon Wildlands

Not surprising as most were region priced well and some must have got from Nvidia bundles

No Dota 2? List not legit.
People forgot that Dota 2 has the highest prize money of all esports?
Also CSGO grossing more than Dota 2? Lol.

Chinese people don't have FB, Twitter, Youtube etc. So they game and they game a hell lot.

^ They actually had to restrict game time for a mobile game due to player addiction.

Chinese developer restricts game time for mobile hit labelled "poison"

"There are no rules to prevent indulgence in online games in China, but we decided to be the first to try to dispel parental worries by limiting play time and forcing children to log off," Tencent said on its official WeChat social media account, as reported by the South China Morning Post.

These harsh new rules come amid complaints from parents and teachers that children in China are becoming addicted to the fantasy MOBA. The state-run People's Daily even described the game as "poison", resulting in Tencent stock plummeting considerably.

PUBG takes a spot.
