Forums - Gaming - Next Gen HW sales for New Zealand: PS4 dominating.

Kerotan on 23 March 2015

Market data from NPD Group Australia has revealed, the PlayStation 4 was the number one selling home console in New Zealand for the calendar year 2014. The PlayStation 4 took 65% market value share in next gen consoles, as well as became the fastest selling home console in New Zealand in the past decade. The console helped drive the total category, with hardware sales up 24% year-on-year.

The PlayStation 4 was also the lead games software platform, with the top 20 selling multi-platform titles performing better on the PlayStation 4, including Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4 and Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

only 65% marketshare.... psssh.. that means theres still 35% between Wii U and XB1.
(unless their also counting the older consols in this as well.....)

Probably be over 80% by the end of the gen.

Thought New Zealand was a lot closer than that between PS4 and X1. Good for PS4 though, incredible how strong it is in so many markets.

Lol no, not a chance. There's a huge difference between 65% and 80% when it comes to market share. For 65% marketshare, it needs to sell a bit less than Wii U+XBO times two (yes, double that of Wii U and XBO combined. For 80% though, it needs to sell 4 times more than the Wii U and the XBO combined.

Playstation 2 did 6 times so nothing is out of the question.
