London-based search agency Rise at Seven, who has GAME (UK video game retailer) as client, recently released their research on worldwide "online market share" based on global search data.
Extremely interesting. NA sales splits for both PS4 Family and Xbox One family. Something I wasn't aware of. New insider info to me at the very least.

London-based search agency Rise at Seven, who has GAME (UK video game retailer) as client, recently released their research on worldwide "online market share" based on global search data.
Some of the findings:.... how the figures were acquired, Rise at Seven claims to have analyzed global search data. It points to the fact that, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the majority of consoles this generation are being bought online, making it easier for them to ascertain the demand in each region.
Across the world, figures reveal that Sony’s Playstation is by far the most popular gaming console. Having released their first model back in December 1994, they’ve gone on to claim a staggering 84% of the gaming market, proving once and for all that – in gamers’ eyes – they’re superior to anything Microsoft can throw at them. Playstation gets 148/161 of the countries votes vs Xbox’s 13 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.

How did previous consoles compete?
....... In the USA, XBox sold 31.39 million consoles, while Playstation sold 37.5 million. That’s as close as Microsoft got to taking the tile, with figures across the rest of the world putting them in a distant second place.
In Europe, the XBox One sold 12.11 million consoles, almost a quarter of the 47.33 million Playstation moved. While in Japan, Sony’s local advantage played in their favour, seeing them sell 9.23 million PS4s compared to a mere 0.12 million XBox Ones. Across the world, 113.7 million PS4s were sold to gleeful gamers, more than double the 48.38 million XBox Ones.
