invetedlotus123 said: I don't agree with your statement that NA is THE most important market for gaming, at least not nowadays. Europe is where Sony sells the most units and Japan sure is a shadow of its former self but many franchises still reach huge numbers over there. For games in a broader sense, considering mobile, PC and MMOs (that I believe should be a category of its own even if they are predominant on pc) China takes the crown nowadays. |
Sony is the only console manufacturer that sells more in Europe than in North America. Here is the data taken from this website for the last few consoles:
Platform North America Europe
Xbox One 31.22 12.03
Playstation 4 36.86 46.44
Switch 22.32 15.23
Wii U 6.23 3.24
PS3 29.42 34.99
360 49.11 25.87
Wii 45.51 33.88
We can get into PC and mobile markets if you'd like. Both of those are incredibly hard to quantify though. You can't really look into units sold. Do you look at revenue? I suppose you can with PC, but mobile has a starkly different way to get revenue than consoles do. I prefer to do like for like comparisons regarding consoles, personally.
