Most Popular Gaming Brands Worldwide in 2023
According to the latest data analytics by Businessfinancing.co.uk, the Japanese multinational video game company was the most Google-searched gaming brand in the whole wide world. The survey revealed that Nintendo is popular in 30 countries across the world, including Croatia, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and more.
Closing in as the second place, BioWare trails Nintendo as the second most popular Google-searched gaming brand in the world, being searched in 27 countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Nintendo's long-time Japanese rival, Sega, was only popular in four countries. However, two of those countries, specifically Russia and India, are massive markets with huge consumer potential.

To get the data for the study, countries generated varying volumes of Google searches for branded terms, which were then gathered and subsequently calculated for a more accurate representation of the eventual results of the study.
