Advertising Ranking of New Games in Japanese Market
▼Top5 New Games on iOS in Japan
▼Top 5 New Games on Google Play in Japan
Comparing the above list, we can see that during the past 30 days, the number of new games ads on iOS is much lower than that on Android. The main reason may be the great impact from Apple’s new iOS 14.5 privacy policy on personalized advertising. This makes some advertisers turn to a more conservative advertising strategy, gradually reducing their advertising on iOS devices, but it also stimulates the growth of the Android advertising market.
However, in the ranking list, the performance of Chinese developers is still eye-catching. The Chinese games on the list include: SLG Sangokushi Strategy and Epic War: Thrones that top the list, the Chinese ancient RPG Empress: Tales of the Heart, the ACG RPG カウンター・アームズ -終焉武装少女-, the Tower Defense game Mini War: 放置だけでもいけるTDゲーム, and the SLG 社長!ご決断を.
On the whole, despite the impact on iOS promotion, Chinese publishers still have confidence in the Japanese market. Chinese mobile games such as SLG, RPG and other popular games are still competing fiercely in the Japanese market.
