CONFIRMED. SELL data consistently shows French gaming participation at ~52-53% over the past 8 years. This makes France a "stable" market — neither declining (like South Korea) nor growing (like Japan). Ball correctly identifies France as contradicting his blanket "losing the attention war" thesis, though he doesn't emphasize this contradiction.
