I have seen lots of pan-European GfK data points which agree with this assumption...it's not a phenomenon present exclusively in Chartz estimates...it's an actual fact. PS4 far exceeds Xbox One in pretty much all European countries. Xbox One is a decidedly niche system. Going from a market leader to a niche system is a much more staggering decline for Microsoft because they aren't nearly as invested into the video game business as Nintendo is....they can afford to discontinue their video gaming division tomorrow and still thrive as a company. That makes it even more important for Xbox products to do well....when they're not doing well like this, I fear for the future of Xbox as a platform. |
Yep, Sony is king when it comes to console gaming in Europe.

I think we will see other regions such as Middle East, Asia, and Latin American be part of the core PS4 market as these developing countries advance and start to buy luxury goods like consoles more frequently. PlayStation really focuses on marketing globally instead of being centric to one country
