Odd question but I will make sure, does that make US the first biggest?

In-fact what are the markets?
US, Japan, UK, Europe? Or is UK part of the Europe market?

He's counting the European countries as seperate countries, otherwise, mainland Europe would be well ahead of either.

 

Generally, UK is counted as being in the same "market" as the rest of Europe.

 

For homeconsoles, the order is USA - Europe - Japan

 

For handhelds, it's the exact opposite.

Europe has a bigger market for home consoles than the US

Europe has 300k and 400k less of respectively the Switch and the Xbox ONE... but 1.8 Million more PS4 for this year, which more than balances out what's missing in Nintendo or Microsoft sales.
