Looking at the numbers, If PS4 wasn't as big in EU as it is right now(100k+) the numbers would look much much worse on Sony's end. That's why EU is an mvp, Sony country all the way. I can't remember exactly but was it the same way last gen for EU with Sony just picking people apart there?

Not last gen but the 2 before it did.
PS1-36.91m
N64-6.35m
Sat-1.12m
PS2-55.28m
XB-7.17m
GC-4.44m
PS3-34.55m
Wii-33.88m
360-25.87m

Looking at last year marketshare, it's not that Switch does poorly in EU, but with PS4/XBO being interchangeable in many ways, it has more to do with the Xbox brand being relatively strong in the US but weak in EU.
US 2018
NSW-5.58m (36.8%)
PS4-5.28m (34.8%)
XBO-4.31m (28.4%)
EU 2018
NSW-4.48m (33.1%)
PS4-7.47m (55.1%)
XBO-1.59m (11.7%)
As you can see, Switch had similar marketshare in US & EU last year, the difference is that the PS4/XBO battle is competitive in the US while in EU it's an absolute bloodbath.

I would say on the contrary. If console sales start to dwindle it is a sign many have bought into the platform and want to play games with it. Only a few are ready to move on. This is a critical point for console-makers each time. Start the new gen and try to push the new platform? Or wait a little and gain the profits off of a big established userbase with more games and services? Finding the right point to switch to next gen can be critical. |
I'm not ready to move on. so many great ps4 games to play that i havent
God bless You.
My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+
When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

I agree, but not just on the graphics part. The type of gaming experiences people tend to appreciate in Europe are the more "mature" ones. Nintendo still carries the kind of "toy for kids" perception in here. Just an anecdotal experience that kind of illustrates this, I tried to get my gf into trying gaming for the first time, so I thought I would ease her in with some Super Mario (easy controls, 2d, etc). After 5 minutes of her failing miserably to control the character and complaining about video games being "for kids", she saw me playing Dirt Rally. Her comments then were: "oh, this looks much better, can I try?". I was like "are you sure? this is much harder than the previous one." She took the controls over and 30 minutes and 1000 crashes later she was still having fun with it. There seems to be an aversion for more casuals or non gamers to try a more childish experience (with cartoony graphics, etc) than a more realistic looking game. Maybe it's something cultural, but it's extremely prevalent here.

So they like to be macho and still carry the false notion of animation = kids
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

It is definitely possible. Microsoft might do what they did with the Xbox 360 and get a head start on Sony. I see a possible release this holiday or in March 2020. It depends if they have enough games. If they release it this year I see Gears 5 as something similar to what Breath of the Wild was. Released on the current and next gen consoles on the same day. |
I'm not sure if this is helpful for coming up with Europe sales but we got Spain hardware (and software) sales for Feb 11-17
PS4-3600
NSW-2900
XBO-450

That is really helpful. Thank you. Do you know if they always provide hardware figures or is that only once in a while? |
Honestly not sure, someone on Resetera posts them every once in awhile but I'll look into it.

I found charts for the last 3 weeks but this is the only one that had hardware included. I'll keep looking.

Wow, looks like the Switch is slowly crawling upon the PS4 in deepest Sonyland
