Verifikation

Plausibel

PLAUSIBLE but potentially overstated. Adding Newzoo's MM8 figures: US (~$50B) + Japan (~$18B) + UK (~$6B) + Germany (~$7B) + South Korea (~$7B) + France (~$5B) + Canada (~$3.5B) + Italy (~$4B) ≈ $100.5B. Against $188.8-197B total, that's ~51-53%, not 60%. Ball's 60% may use a different base (content-only excluding China?) or different country estimates. The discrepancy is ~7-9pp. Marked plausible rather than questionable because of methodological ambiguity in what "global consumer spend on video game content" precisely includes.
