So PS4 sold 71% in 2 years what PS3 took 7 years to sell. I guess console market is dead.
PS3 is well ahead of that number now, 3.9 million is a very old number.

It looks like in spite of MS 's efforts, sales are actually slowing down rotw, when at this point in a cycle they should be going up?
I was more talking about the switching part, I never doubted revenue was bigger for console.There was a thread about it a while ago, basically, PC = 50% of consoles revenue, and since PS4's hardware marketshare is close to 70%, it's safe to assume that it's the same for software, it's even higher if you include PS3.
And Japan isn't "dying", it's just no longer a juggernaut, the PS4 sold 1.35 million there this year, that's probably more than the XB1 did in its second largest market (the UK).
The biggest effort is the price, outside of that they haven't done that much to appeal to the European market.It looks like in spite of MS 's efforts, sales are actually slowing down rotw, when at this point in a cycle they should be going up?

Some software sales in 2015: Fifa 16 sold 1.2 million, FIFA 15 450k, GTA V 780k.
Anyone knows console sales numbers for 2013 and 2014?
Xbox One sales are declining in Europe when it should be increasing. It's only going to get more brutal for the console at this point.
Joke answer: Tomb Raiderwhat efforts?
PS4 is a beast!
Is this the aftermath of the initial XBO reveal?
In Germany?
2013
PS4 0.25
XB1 0.1
2014
PS4 1.15
XB1 0.23
2015
PS4 1.4
XB1 0.27

By that I mean all the 180s on policies, BC, OS updates, GwG including bc games, price dumps and bundles...
I have no love being lost for MS, but even I can admit they are trying (even if it sometimes leads to desperate misguided stuff like tje TR debacle).

?
XB1 is increased by 21% this year in Germany.
For a comparation, in USA are increased by 13%.
I can understand those sales sucks, but what decline?
US:
2013: 1817k
2014-15: 9314k
x5.126
Germany:
2013: 100k
2014-15: 500k
x5.000 (97.5% of US pace)
I know the show but I still don't get itMeanwhile at Xbox Germany headquarters... full meeting
I know the show but I still don't get it
Only silver lining I can see is PS4 owners buying a second console because it's cheap enough. (Make it 200 maybe.) Other than that, no dice. Halo didn't change anything. PS4 is THE console to have.
Microsoft are screwed in the console space. I think this is it for Xbox.
Xbox One sales are declining in Europe (or close to flat lining) when it should be increasing. It's only going to get more brutal for the console at this point.
But 'what about another Xbox' I hear you say? The next generation is all about VR capabilities (although as you know I believe it won't kick off). It will, however, dominate news channels and generate critical hype. Microsoft have quite literally ZERO VR capabilities. They are at least 5 years behind Sony in that regard. They simply won't be able to compete in its current position.
So, Xbox One sales are declining, or at least the gap is continually rising, and they are in a poor position to compete against the inevitable PlayStation 5. Xbox is done, and it'll become some sort of PC service.
I'd like to make a thread about this discussion...
It's the case in a lot of markets. Wouldn't be Wii U worldwide LTD higher than X1 LTD if you exclude USA?
Are you an expert and just watched MS shoot themselves in the foot?
1.2 million for FIFA, UK has sold more than double at 2.5 million.
No, but the transition of how Xbox sales are recorded in Microsoft's quarterly reports are rather telling of its future.
It'll become a service.
Crazy good numbers for PS4.
Absolutely grim numbers for XB1.
Crazy how the PS4 sold it's rivals LTD in just Nov+Dec 2015.
EA must be laughing all the way to the bank with that FIFA deal, whilst it gives MS nothing.
At this point i think UK is a bigger market than Germany only because X1.
PS4 in Germany, all considering, is very close, and Wii U is doing better in Germany than UK.
On the contrary, the fact they misread the market, the PS4 doing so well will convince them to do another Xbox, one that's a beast hardware wise. Now if the PS4 didn't do so well, then the Xbox console future might be uncertain.
Do we actually know that for sure? I don't think we have UK figures for the Wii U, like at all.
That's because the German chart is the Playstation chart guest starring other platforms, while in the UK both platforms are successful.

I think in Germany a second console is more likely coming from Nintendo than from MS.

They did everything right with the 360, and Europe and Japan still chose the PS3.
I think MS should just focus on regaining their lost marketshare in the US, which has a higher chance of happening than making any dent in Europe.

If you look at what the focus was at the original Xbox one unveil that was the plan all along anyway.
I think the Xbox performing poorly (or at least not as well as hoped) merely accelerated everything.
It's not doing poorly overall, only in Non-English speaking markets, it's doing quite well in the US and the UK.
Dat 4:1 ratio. Safe to assume that rest of mainland Europe shares the same split?
For sure. They are racking in the sales und getting basically free money from MS.

If we go by Steamspy, Germany has more users, but UK PC users own way more games. It's actually leading over Germany in total games owned.Larger PC market is probably why Germany is considered a bigger market compared to the UK.
