PlayStation 4 is also selling faster than its predecessors in Saudi Arabia. 

Ahead of both the PS2 and PS3 when aligned.

In addition, Sony's PlayStation 4 now holds 75% market share in Saudi Arabia according to GfK. 

Compared to 17% for Xbox One.

Nintendo really isnt popular there.....
PS4 on the other hand, with 75% of the market, thats pretty sweet.

On battlefield 4 after a certain hour of the night many severs are filled with KSA dudes (Kingdom Saudi Arabia). So these stats make sense to me.

PS dominated the Middle East. Seriously, even the Vita outsells the 3DS here in Israel.

They definitely listen in on console conversations.  In America they'd be ease dropping on Playstation and xbox for domestic terrorism but in europe and the Middle East they'd definitely be looking for radical Islam chatter.  The attackers in Paris all had ps4's.  They no doubt played on them when they were bored but you can be sure there was some interesting chatter going on too.  One report said they used them for communication rather than phones.
