They made progress, true, but I wouldn't call it outstanding. Except the US and UK both Nintendo and Sony have a far better position. They have absolutely NO chance in JP, seeing that even the Vita is struggling there.

But they don't need Japan to do well, so it doesn't matters anyway.

a 200% increase in Europe isnt outstanding?  far better?

OK.

OT

No chance in japan, there are other things at play there.  But Japan is less important this gen and will be even more so next gen.  Doesnt mater, They have competed amazingly well considering they only sell in two of the 3 main markets.  I doubt any console ahas ever achieved that.

When you had pretty much 0 presence, and that grows by 200%... yeah, its not that big of a deal In the US and UK it made mirtacles tough, and even in Japan it managed to have a decent growth :))

Perople say things so often they start to believe them.

European marketshare:

Xbox

Last gen:  11%

This gen:  27%

PS

Last gen:  82%

This gen:  33%

 

Yes, its still funny just how slow the Xbox growth was, considering how pathetic the PS3 launch was

That was because of the Wii, which did great numbers at this time. Xbox got their fair part as well
The fall of the PS was gigantic though. By far the biggest collapse of a brand in the history of videogames.
