Sorry have to chime in here and say that the U.S is not Sony's strongest market. That would be the EU. Always has been.

I'm no that's sure if Europe as a whole is bigger for them or not. But I wouldn't exactly call a continent a market. Is the Spain the same market as Germany? I didn't think they where.

US is the PS4's biggest market, no doubt about that. But at the same time, it consists of less than a third of its worldwide sales.

More specifically the U.K. They were called "Sony land" for a while. It's been this way since the PS2 days. Sony consoles sells more there than they do in the U.S.

I'm confused ur saying Sony sells more PS4's in the U.K. Than they do in the US?

Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

BTW, those speaking of Switch vs. PS4 for this year, I think at $299 the Switch has little chance at taking 2017. Maybe March, but that's probably it.

Seems like PS4 advantage was very small

Wow, MS fans can spin even worse than the parent company. PS4 is still ahead, the gap didn't close, and when all is said and done, when MS releases their quarterly numbers, the gaming division is likely going to report garbage-tier numbers due to massive losses on hardware this fall. They just released a new revision of the current hardware with 4k components which they had to discount, plus priced down the OG model to $199, which is still readily available everywhere.

If the Xbox division has seen any victories this year, they're of the pyrrhic variety. It's only going to get tougher when more Scorpio information leaks working against their sales altogether. One S will likely continue to get by on its second lease on life as an affordable UHD machine.
