I already claimed in several article comments that I doubt the alleged sold unit numbers for the XB1 (approximately 10-15 million) and that the Wii U maybe even has sold more than the XB1 has (worldwide).
Why? Because two years ago MS decided not to publish new hardware numbers anymore. Why do you think they did that? Surely not because they don't care. They want to make money, so of course they care! The only logical reason is that they are ashamed of how few consoles they have sold despite investing so heavily in advertising it.
The PS4 is really crushing the XB1 and at least in Germany, the XB1 has even lost to the Wii U so far, according to this report.
EDIT: Here is an even more detailed report with absolute numbers + the numbers for France, where 742000 Wii U's were sold (also more than XB1).
I don't know a single person who has an Xbox One, but until today I thought this was just a coincidence.

Now I know we're only talking about one coubtry two countries and that other markets have different preferences. Like, the XB1 is stronger in its home country (the US), while the Wii U is stronger in its home country (Japan).
And I also mentioned in my comments that the XB1 is actually competing with the PS4, not with the Wii U (different target group).

But now I'm curious and I'd like to gather all the numbers from other countries: What are your observations from other countries? How widespread are the Wii U and the XB1 in your country? Does anyone maybe even have market share numbers like those from Germany (68% PS4, 17% Wii U, 15% XB1)?

This not a "my console is better than your console"-thread. I'm just curious about the development in the console market. So please, no console wars, no rumours, just the facts that you know of and the observations that you have made in your country and among your friends. Is the situation regarding the market share of the three consoles totally different in your country or maybe even similar to Germany?


France: 742000 units
Germany: 690000 units
