| RolStoppable said: Tie ratios have historically been the highest in North America (USA accounting for the vast majority of sales), so a console that is US-centric like the Xbox One will look better on a per-user-basis than a console like the PS4 which is successful in more than one region. Of course, the actual software output of a publisher also plays a significant role, but even European companies often favor the American market because of the historically higher game sales. EDIT: Here, I'll explain it with simple maths. PS4 installed base: 100 in America, 100 in Europe. American gamers buy 2 games during the time it takes a European to buy one game. 300 PS4 games sold. (200 in America, 100 in Europe.) How many games does the average user buy? PS4: 1.5 games. (300/200=1.5) Conclusion: The average Xbox gamer spends more money than the average PS4 gamer. |
Not really even if i count the Wii U in the mix
Western Europe = ~150 Million games
NA = ~165 Million games
Using VGchartz numbers and yes Europe numbers here are only western Europe. So Canada and the US also have a higher population
