With the current gen coming to a close, I thought it would be interesting to see how each of the big 3's marketshare has changed from the 6th - 7th gen.
6th gen:
1st - Sony (PS2): 77%
2nd - Microsoft (Xbox): 12%
3rd - Nintendo (GameCube): 11%
7th gen:
1st - Nintendo (Wii): 41%
2nd - Microsoft (X360): 30%
3rd - Sony (PS3): 29%
As you can see, both Nintendo and Microsoft increased their marketshare drastically this gen (30% and 18% respectively). This huge increase came at a cost though. Sony lost a whopping 48% of its marketshare and has fallen from being the biggest player in the market by a huge margin to being the smallest player in the market.
Thoughts? Will Nintendo and Microsoft be able to take away even more of Sonys marketshare next gen?
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
