PS4 “Almost Approaching” 80% Current Generation Market Share in Many Countries

During the Electronics Investor Relations Day 2015, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House mentioned something rather interesting about the sales of PlayStation 4.

According to House, the PS4 is approaching a 80% market share in many countries.

“The two strengths that we offer […] are one, a really significant global reach, and particularly very strong market share in many countries outside of Europe. I think we’re almost approaching an 80% market share of next generation in many of these territories.”

House also mentioned that the shift in market share is a good offset to the increased bargaining power of the biggest publishers that offer the most relevant blockbusters.

I don't doubt it. Wonder just how high it will go in some of the very PS centric countries.


im willing to bet in some countries in the middle east or asia it will reach 90% or higher.

Why are they still buying the PS4 when it has no exclusives scheduled for the western holidays?

I bet US elites and politicians are not happy that for once not Americans have 80% marketshare in one IT sphere around the world

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

That's what happens when you do no wrong and your competitors shoot themselves in the foot. Hopefully both nintendo and Microsoft are smarter next gen.

Most peoples libraries are primarily made up of 3rd party games. While the internet loves exclusives (console wars) the average consumer simply doesnt care. 



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Fixed.

I'd include UK but last year when all was said and done PS4 lost November, but Won December and they were equal when both months were totalled.
