Cool. Marketshare this gen is quite irrelevant though in the grand scheme of things looking at that.
The leader went from ~50% in its prime and will finish in the 30-40% range, along with the 2nd and 3rd place consoles at the end of the generation.
Also worth noting, is that the 2nd and 3rd place consoles both also had better 3rd party support.
Next gen marketshare?
Sony - 37%
Ninty - 33%
Microsoft - 30%
Once again, all 3 in the 30-40 range. |
How do you think Sony will achieve that? They're in last place this gen and they're in the worst postition financially of the big 3, so they won't be able to give the PS4 the huge push (marketing, etc.) that Microsoft and (to a lessor extent) Nintendo can.

All it takes really is the Wii U to not be that successful. Microsoft sort of is limited by Japans xenophobia in the console market. Of course it could just as eaisly end up with Sony in the back with heavy Nintendo support out of Japan. (quite possible)
Europe will likely remain a sony stronghold as long as they have Gran Turismo.
