When looking solely at the US market, the PS4 and XBO are actually rather close in sales; only a 53/47 split.
Is this a regional thing? I'm American and everyone I know is either a sonygger or a PCfat.

PS4 still completely dominates the market.
>>320857936
lol consoles

>Is this a regional thing?
Yes. The Xbone is getting creamed every outside of the US and the UK.
>>320858163
I meant within the US, since where I live I've met no one with an xbone.

>35 million of them are TF2/Dota accounts
>Another 30 million are normies who just play terraria, csgo, and one or two of those shitty early-access survival mmos
Reminder that the reason CSGO comp servers have shit tickrate is because the majority of people playing it fail to reach 60fps anyway
Reminder that the number of people on steam who actually own more than a few games and have enthusiast-tier hardware is fucking tiny

US sales don't matter!

>Classic “core gamers”—the ones that play most major hits or jump from indie game to indie game—are relatively rare when compared to overall gaming audience.
>In fact, 1% of Steam gamers own 33% of all copies of games on Steam. 20% of Steam gamers own 88% of games. That’s even more than Pareto principle suggests.
>We’re talking about 1.3M PC gamers that could fall into definition of “core gamer that buys several games per year”. And that’s including discounted games as well.

xbones are bought by the neanderthal redneck hillbillies in the south and midwest while ps4 is for people from the civilized world
I bought a xbox because all the chads and normies in my area owned ps4's
>>320858462
the same applies to consoles just look at the difference between a game like fifa and bloodborne
when it comes to sales
>>320858462
as long as the games keep coming idgaf buddy, I'm still getting the best experience regardless
>>320859965
Bloodborne sold 2 million, which is apparently twice as many copies as there are PC gamers who would even -potentially- buy it.
I dunno why PC guys try to pad their numbers so much. Why not just roll with being an exclusive minority contrasted to the plebeian console masses? Is having better hardware not enough?
>>320860225
if there were plenty of core gamers on the console market x com 2 wouldn't be exclusive
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/05/why-xcom-2-had-to-be-pc-exclusive
>>320859965
Fifa is $60 game anon,thus,it fit i the definition that >>320858462 is talking about.
Console games buy more AAA games with bigger price points than PC.
It's ironic how a lot of people here see themselves as hardcore gamers while the FIFA "casuals" probably have more games than them and are wlling to pay more for it.
>>320860557
>Completely ignored the point about Bloodborne sales vs steam real audience size
>Decades-old PC series decides to return to PC exclusivity
>You interpret this as "there aren't many core gamers on the console market"
Why the fuck do I come here, you people are retarded
>>320861075
people who get fifa aren't really interested in games like dark souls
>>320860557
That article says literally nothing about general core audience, it's just the devs talking about how it made development more streamlined for them and how the series has always been a PC stalwart.
>>320857936
Its like that everywhere in the world both are available at a similar price since they're the same damn thing.
>>320861407
they even end it by saying a console version is probably somewhere down the line
seriously what the fuck did he link that for
>>320858462
But I guess its different when 95% of xbox owners probably own the newest COD and Fifa and nothing else right?
>>320857936
And what game?
>>320857936
That's all fair and well, but America isn't the fucking world.
>>320863565
When there's data to support it, sure it'll be applicable
>>320864305
There already is. All you have to do is look at the sales of those games vs everything else on the console. Also the fact that one of the most played console "games" online is fucking netflix.
