Recently, SE pointed out in its 2022 annual report that due to the serious aging of Japan, it should pay more attention to the development of popular "globalization" games.
In SE's annual report released earlier this week, it was pointed out that SE needed to transform their studios because it is difficult for companies that compete mainly in the Japanese market to achieve significant growth in the gaming industry, given the aging population structure.
It is reported that Japan is one of the countries with the highest proportion of elderly people in the world. Last month, it was confirmed that people over 75 years old accounted for more than 15% of the national population, a record high.
The annual report of SE reads: "For our business, it is crucial to make popular games accepted by the global market, which provides a larger market in terms of customers and sales. In other words, the Japanese market is no longer enough to achieve the revenue level that enables us to recover development investments and generate profits , so we need to carry out our development efforts based on the assumption that we must succeed in the global market."
