Well, anyone would have to be retarded to not accept that the US is the single largest market when looking at any stand alone country. Then of all the smaller markets, the UK is the largest market when looking at anywhere outside NA. It also happens to be that those are the only two regions that XB1 is at least competing, however lets not forget that even at that the PS4 is still ahead in those markets.

If anything, I think all this data shows just how big and important everywhere else is, especially for those that think its oke if the XB1 just does well in NA and UK.

You always have my back, thanks :D

Thanks :D

It is probably just me, but I don't understand the sentence? Care to explain it to me :D

In the future I'll let you explain my threads to others! :D

I see no issue with the thread. Presenting data in way not currently done on VGC. In this case two major English speaking nations versus everyone else and showing how different the consoles breakdown in regards to this.

English speaking nations, and the two largest console markets :)


I am glad you like it.

And that's quite interesting information itself. In many ways PS4 being number 1 in these two markets, at the moment, is the story of this generation...well aside from Wii U's absolute fall from grace. PS4 dominance in, well, everwhere else = expected, and given the level of dominance rather boring and uninteresting. Who can be bothered speculating on whether it will be 4:1, 5:1, or 6:1? Meh, it's a lot and that's all we need to know.

The only interesting things happening are in the USA and UK because there is actual competition there, finally. MS is focussing on these markets because they know the survival of Xbox depends on those markets. Before Kinectless came along, and to some extent even before ACU $350 bundle came along, Xb one being the last ever Xbox console was a prospect that people could not easily dismiss. Now however Xb one is sufficiently rehabilitated in USA and UK for Xb oners to have reasonable confidence that Xbox will be around for at least one more generation after this.

I'm not quite sure what the bottom table is meant to be telling us. Obviously global LTD vs global LTD is comparable and potentially useful information for discussion. But once you establish who the global LTD leader is, it seems rather redundant to then compare the global leader's global LTD with "regional" LTD's of the console that is coming 2nd.

i don't think the Xbox or nintendo crowd would find it boring if they were leading in nearly every market,you're not thinking like a fanboy,lol

that $350 deal is insane that is like £225 ,we'd sell 5m plus quickly if bundles were that price over here,i'm not sure MS would have let Xbox end this gen if it had not picked up they clearly mean business,its going to be interesting to see LTD sales of all 3 and how & where they survive this gen

Can you do charts for Wii U vs PS4? Wii U vs X1?

Nice charts and all, but a bit silly...that's not what RoW is, never was, never will be.

Tagging.
