Sony smile, as the French market was particularly favorable to him for Christmas. The PS4 has led the industry be it for home consoles and video games. This is again a very good advertisement for the manufacturer.
The Sony PS4 is honored on the French market
GfK achieved investigation for the sales of the PS4 and the French market gave a smile on manufacturers. Many would like to have such a chance is for example the case of Nintendo struggling to return to success of yesteryear. However, the Japanese manufacturer has projects in 2016 including a new console, but would she have enough strong shoulders to dethrone the PS4? Nothing seems to stop the flagship of Sony, because they are still nearly 2.15 million copies have been sold in France.
The PS4 is far ahead of Microsoft with its Xbox One
These figures shared exclusively by the BBC shows a real contrast to the other consoles. Nintendo and we mentioned this is the time to announce that the Japanese firm was able to sell 742,000 Wii U in France. These statistics are largely not sufficient enough to hope to compete with the industry leader, but they still allow to Mario’s father to end up before the xbox one from Microsoft that has sold 715,000 copies. It is important to note that the figures put forward the accumulated sales since the launch of the console.
packs combining the console with a game ( Assassin’s Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive ) have indeed been put on sale by year-end, for the same price that a PlayStation 4 sold alone, or 399 euros. Auchan stores have even offered for a week five games for the purchase of the console
In the US, these offers even more aggressive -. The console price was lowered to $ 50, dollars- to 349, allowed the sales of the xbox one bounce. In November and December, months oh so crucial in the video game industry, sales of Xbox One outsold PlayStation 4, become more expensive than its rival (399 dollars).
Nintendo 3DS achieves a very good performance
So, taking into account this selection criterion, we can see that the Nintendo 3DS will offer 4 million copies. This should fill Nintendo, but this is not really a surprise, since the handheld was very successful and in this area, the Japanese company can claim to be leader. That is why this product is not dismissed the 2016 projects, but in the field of home consoles, the story is different. Many players who are waiting with great impatience NX which currently remains very mysterious.
