CONFIRMED with caveat. Newzoo 2025 shows China ($49.8B) marginally ahead of US ($49.6B) for total gaming revenue. Ball's claim that US is #1 may depend on his specific "content spend" definition (c272) which could exclude certain Chinese categories. Under most definitions, US and China are virtually tied at ~$50B each. The #1 ranking is essentially correct for content-specific definitions.
