An interesting little factoid I worked out in an Era discussion.
In gen 7, the US made up about 31% of PS3's hardware sales. In gen 8, the US made up about 30% of PS4's hardware sales (so far).
In gen 7, the US made up about 51% of 360's hardware sales. In gen 8, the US made up about 60% of XB1's hardware sales (so far).
That's an amazing disparity and also remarkable consistency from Playstation. Just goes to show the strength of the PS brand worldwide, and why xbox struggles in comparison.
And yes, if you're wondering, about 30% of PS2's sales also came from the US. The original xbox also had about 60% of sales in the US.
