Forums - Gaming - Which console is the most popular in your country? (All gens included)

kappie1977 speaks the truth about my country.

Usually the PS brand is the most popular in the home-console arena. SEGA was before it, though the industry as a whole was a lot smaller before the PS1. I think the PS2 was the most popular console ever here basically having a monopoly in the 6th gen. The PS1 was similarly popular, though it had better competition. However, the Wii was crazy popular here as well, but it probably didn't beat the PS2. PS3 was likely still the winner of the HD-twin battle, but the XBox 360 put up a good fight. Right now, everyone's only talking about the PS4. Though hype isn't very high regardless and XBox One is pretty much unknown here.

DS could have beaten PS2 however, in it's heyday you'd see as many DS's 'in the wild' as you see smartphones now. 3DS isn't doing to bad either, and usually has the biggest shelf space in stores now, but it's an obvious decline from DS.

So for the Netherlands Sony wins overall, while Nintendo is decent for a European market.

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

In Canada the present most popular is XB360. All time it would be either NES or PS2....NES probably has more of a "legacy" here. Wii was top dog before 360 gained traction. I guess if you include handhelds, DS was pretty crazy popular.

Since this thread already exists I guess I could share something else. This is a screen dump of the menu-bar from Chinas biggest game shop.

As you can see they don't even have a section for the Wii U or X1. They do however sell the Wii U, but you have to look for it in the Wii section of the website. The X1 however is not sold at all.



 PC gaming is the most popular here in Romania and everyone plays games like League of Legends, Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, World of Warcraft, Diablo, etc.... Back  then PC gaming was also  more popular than console/handheld  gaming even if the PS2 and GBA were pretty popular.
