Badminton vs Table Tennis: Which sport is more popular

[typhooonn]

I am really curious what the others think. Both sports are dominated by Asian countries. But why I always feel that table tennis might gain more popularity than badminton? Your thoughts ?

If one talks with data, it's clear that table tennis is more popular than badminton.

Hint: just check the number of member countries of each association; number of participants in world championships; number of TV stations that provide live coverage; number of grandprix tournaments; total prize money involved and so forth.
