Or Yakuza style versus GTA style, respectively. Personally, I prefer realistic graphics that retain a highly idealized or stylized look versus a completely photorealistic look, like Monster Hunter World style versus Last Of Us 2 style. This is a major reason why more cartoonish graphics are more popular than realistic graphics.

You can also see this contrast in beauty ideals and the features available in the most popular apps (SnapChat vs Meitu) in Western and East Asian countries respectively. We like soft and gentle-looking male and female characters, with warm attitudes. Western games tend to have characters that look too rough or aggressive, which does not appeal to us. We do not like serious-looking characters or people.

Multiplayer music/dance games like Audition and HighStreet5 ruled the PC and mobile scene for almost 20 years and are still popular on mobile today. Social aspects in games is very important to East Asian gamers. I don't really know anyone who say they prefer singleplayer over multiplayer. On PC, the most popular game is League Of Legends, on Mobile it is Mobile Legends. The most common and popular games are all multiplayer and RPG types, like MOBAs which combine both elements. The taste for PS games, PC games and Mobile games here are very similar. Games with more carefree attitudes and cuter graphics or don't take things too seriously are more popular, like Yakuza games. Games with serious and/or political themes like Fallout or Cyberpunk also have low popularity. Singleplayer games do not achieve high sales in East Asia. Games like Monster Hunter World sell very well here, because of the aesthetic, RPG elements, a fantasy style and multiplayer gameplay. And especially games that feature places, characters and art styles we are more familiar with. We prefer RPG and multiplayer games much more than singleplayer ones. Other launch games on PS5 are either shooters, racers, or very casual ones that cater more to Western tastes, since they either are set in Western countries, or feature Western actors/characters. Superhero games like Spider-Man generally do not attract much attention in East Asia, unlike in the West where that title was considered a very anticipated launch game. That is due to both lack of stock allocation and also launch titles that many people I know were not interested in at all, including myself. Here in Singapore, the biggest market in Southeast Asia for gaming (and PS), the PS5 sold less than 2000 units since launch on Nov 19.

The bigger problem I think is the lack of attractive titles for PS5.
