Forums - Sales - Game Investments Market Share Analysis: Wii is Do..... Wait a minute?

No is not. Actually they had a nice boost in marketshare.

n terms of sales all three companies did a good job moving hardware and have at least doubled their respective install bases since 2008.

  • Sony PlayStation 3 – 22.85 million unit increase from 2008
  • Nintendo Wii –  46.48 million unit increase from 2008
  • Microsoft Xbox 360 – 21 million unit increase from 2008

Looking at each company’s market share shows some weakness with the Xbox 360 which lost 7% of the market from 2008 (1% to the PS3 and 6% to the Wii).

With console sales numbers out of the way let’s take a look at how each company’s operating income has performed over the last two generations of consoles.

No outrageous claims = no replies.

Nice operating income chart, though. Looks like Microsoft is really starting to figure things out.
