How this gaming estimate works
Σ (region population × participation × local-hour probability)
A broad gaming audience and session window are weighted toward local evening leisure hours.
What the number means
Mobile, console and computer gaming combined. Device access, platform reach, age and simultaneous media use vary widely between regions. The number is a broad modelled estimate, not direct tracking of individuals.
This estimate is for curiosity and perspective. Activities can overlap, and the totals should not be added together as if every category were exclusive.
Baseline sources
These sources anchor the normal model. Activity-specific participation and duration remain clearly labelled modelling assumptions.
