Japanese are hardcore gamers

PlayStation Users in Europe and Asia Are More Likely to Earn Platinum Trophies

Quote :

Sony’s head of the Tokyo Global Developer Technology Department Kenjo Akiyama in a presentation held at CEDEC 2022 game developer conference discussed PlayStation player behavior in the US, Europe, Japan, and the rest of Asia.

Akiyama in his study found that players in Japan have a higher Trophy competition rate per game than in any other region. He also found that players in Europe and Asia are more likely earn Platinum Trophies, compared to players in the US who are the least likely earn them.

PlayStation players in Japan are more likely to get Platinum Trophies in games that are considered the most difficult. Akiyama believes this is due to Asian players having a "never give up" attitude and are more determined to beat the hardest games.

Interesting, if not surprising.
