Forums - Sony Discussion - Jim Ryan: PS4 has 70%-90% market share in Europe

http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/30/playstation-4-dominates-europe-with-70-90-of-console-market/

The way he says it I think it's the variance of each country market share rather than the global one, but overall value should be close to that I suppose. The 90+ values are probably for countries like Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc

“Well, we have market leadership in every country in Europe, and have very significant market leadership in continental Europe. Extremely significant. I don’t think market share’s any less than 70%, and frequently greater than 90% in continental Europe.”

Not surprising, to be honest. Europe has always had a soft spot for Playstation.



kinda seems like 70% is the minimum in continental europe and in most cases its over 90%.

holy fucking shit fuck, that is a lot. massive domination right there.



I believe this. Most of Europe is very PS-centric. The only things non-PS that can compete in general are the Nintendo handhelds. And even then, during the PSP era, some countries had more PSPs than DS, and the Vita is doing fairly well in some countries.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

That is more than I expected. Playstation was always strong here in europe, but this is incredible. The 360 had a better position than the X1. This is like Ps2 generation again.



I'm fairly certain Croatia is in 90%+ category. The other two companies don't even bother to compete here, there are half a dozen stores at most in the entire country that even offer anything XBox or Nintendo related.
Meanwhile, PS4 is everywhere.
PlayStation here is a synonim for consoles, as in "What is XBox?" "Oh, it's a Playstation, only made by Microsoft".



Awesome.
