Turns out that the unreliable analysis came from IHS. They had the PS4 at a flat 53m despite Sony's announcement of 53.4m. https://www.mcvuk.com/ihs-world-console-market-down-in-2016-but-ps4-claims-51-share-over-xbox-ones-26/ So this means IDC can't be discredited based on the specific precedence linked above, but merely based on the maths for their current figures; Japan accounting for 0.3% of global Xbox One sales simply doesn't add up. |
Cool, thanks for the reply.
As for the .03% discrepancy.. well, it doesn't add up if we take Famitsu's numbers as the absolute truth, but we know for a fact that Famitsu have been adjusting their PS4/Switch's numbers in a regular basis, every time official numbers are revealed; which hasn't happened for the X1 in quite a few years. So I think is fair to assume that their X1 numbers MIGHT not be as accurate as the others.
