MULTI Next Gen Console Surveys and Interest by Region

[Chandoo]

Saw this and thought it was interesting to see the regional differences and preferences.

Two different surveys, GI with a primarily US based one and then another separate one by different WW regions.

Very interesting to see China being (slightly) more in favor of Xbox.

Playstation 5 steals the UK with 57% market share

On home soil things are pretty even, with Playstation just tipping the scales in its favour with 57% of the market. The nation is split down the middle on how it likes to play, and with both the new PS5 and the XBox Series X set to cost £449.99, it doesn’t look like things will get any clearer.

Playstation takes the victory this time, but only by the finest of margins.

Playstation also boasts a 57% share of the States
Things are just as tight in the USA, with Playstation owning 57% of the market there too. It’s clear that the West prefers Sony’s console, but only just. It’s certainly not an unachievable lead for XBox to overcome, so we’ll have to see if the Series X has what it takes to win that 7% of gamers over.

XBox takes big wins in smaller countries

While XBox consoles hold a pretty steady share of the market the world over, in some countries they boast almost complete dominance. In Afghanistan they own 90% of the market, while in Gabon and American Samoa it’s a 77% share. In larger countries, they control 54% of the Chinese market, despite neighbouring Japan being the birthplace of their arch rival.

Oooh this won't sit well with some. But yeah, I agree with the survey outcome. Unless you have an obsession for minimalism, the PS5 is the better looking console.

Also, 84% of the market share, damn. Expect another dominant generation for Playstation.

China is the only real surprise. Everything else is more or less as expected. But Japan lol, it's like Xbox is officially banned there or something.

I guess one reason Afghanistan is Xbox first is because most of the 'gamers' there are the stationed soldiers
