Korean professional baseball audience exceeds 10 million, game manufacturers call for Konami to challenge Japanese professional baseball

According to the latest foreign media reports, Korean professional baseball has become unprecedentedly popular recently, with the number of spectators setting a new historical record for the first time, exceeding the 10 million mark. In this context, Com2uS, a manufacturer specializing in baseball game development, directly launched a challenge (possibly referring to competitors such as Konami), intending to get a share of Japan's long-term dominance in the field of professional baseball games.

Com2uS’s upcoming new game “Professional Baseball RISING” seems to be taking advantage of the situation for marketing, but market analysis shows that its leading position in the Korean baseball game market is stable, and its operating income in 2023 It is as high as 150 billion won.

In comparison, the total number of professional baseball spectators in Japan as early as 2019 exceeded 25 million. Although an established game company does not produce many new games, its classic baseball games have always maintained extremely high profitability. As for whether Com2uS's challenge can shake its position, it is still uncertain.
