Whose numbers these are. Every figure below comes from a named publisher — GeoPoll, PAGG, Newzoo and Carry1st for the player surveys; the World Bank, ILO and UNESCO for the official statistics — and is reported here with its sample, markets, date and a link back. This platform has run no player survey of its own, so nothing here is presented as our primary research. Cards marked partial carry real data that describes the population rather than gamers specifically; each one says so, and names the source that would close the gap, rather than being estimated into existence.
