Switch is the Best-Selling Console in China, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S 'Key Drivers of Growth' - Sales

The video game console market in China is small, but continues to grow, according to data from a Niko Partner's 2022 China Console Games Market Report posted by GamesIndustry. The report reveals the Nintendo Switch is the market leader in the console market in China, but the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S were "key drivers of growth" in 2021. The total console hardware and software sales for 2021 were up 17 percent year-over-year to $2.16 billion. This rate of growth isn't expected to continue, however, some growth is expected with estimates putting it around $2.53 billion in 2026. The figure includes legally released hardware and software, as well as the grey market of imported versions. Niko estimates 80 percent of console revenue in China comes from the grey market. "Console gamers and console game revenue growth rates are in the double digits in mainland China," said Niko founder and president Lisa Hanson. "The demand for consoles comes from not only higher levels [of] spending by gamers, but by a niche set of gamers seeking high quality, global games beyond what is found in PC and mobile games in China. Gamers may have different preferences for gameplay and visuals, but they all want great, high-quality games and consoles have offered that for many years." A life-long and avid gamer, William D'Angelo was first introduced to VGChartz in 2007. After years of supporting the site, he was brought on in 2010 as a junior analyst, working his way up to lead analyst in 2012 and taking over the hardware estimates in 2017. He has expanded his involvement in the gaming community by producing content on his own YouTube channel and Twitch channel. You can contact the author on Twitter @TrunksWD.

What code is easiest to learn?

1. HTML and CSS. HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is one of the most common programming languages for beginners, as it's often seen as the most straightforward programming language to learn.

4. C, C++, and C#

C, C++, and C# are essential and powerful programming languages used in various fields. Learning one or more of these languages can be a major asset for developers in specific industries. C is the oldest of the three languages, with its introduction in the 1970s, and is generally considered a “low-level” programming language. While code written in C still has to be compiled (i.e., translated into machine code a computer can read), the level of abstraction is lowered after doing so. What does this mean? Generally speaking, code written in C is closer to a machine language than it is to a human-readable language. The language’s low-level nature makes C very efficient, but this lack of abstraction can make it more difficult for beginners to learn. C is used in operating system development, hardware firmware, and embedded software applications. C++ is another older programming language developed as an extension of C. Essentially, C++ is a version of C with more functionality. Higher-level functions like object-oriented programming make C++ slightly easier to use, but there are small sacrifices in terms of speed and efficiency. However, C++ is still quite fast and used in many fields — for example, C++ is one of the top programming languages for video game development. C# (pronounced “C sharp”) is a much more modern language developed by Microsoft in 2001. It’s an open-source, object-oriented language that excels in various contexts, including mobile applications, enterprise software, and game development. C# projects can be cross-platform, making the language a great first choice for anyone interested in software development. C# programming is often easier to learn than C or C++, as it’s a higher-level language. These factors make C# an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to learn the C family of languages.
