Worldwide Home Video Game Console Market Shares, 2023: PlayStation 5 Outperformed


This IDC study offers an overview of the competitive dynamics in the home video game console market through 2023 from a hardware bundle, packaged game, and digital game and subscription service spending standpoint. It offers insights and advice to technology suppliers so that they can stay ahead of related trends, threats, and opportunities. This study traces global market share changes for the following home console families: Nintendo's Switch and Wii U, Sony's PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. In addition, the study touches on the impact of digital-only microconsoles, gaming-capable streaming media players, and smart TV gaming services."Sony's PlayStation 5 led the home video game console market in 2023 in terms of total revenue and market share, and it outperformed Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S in several important respects. Microsoft's blockbuster acquisition of Activision Blizzard, though, sent shockwaves through the console ecosystem late last year and has reshuffled 2024's competitive deck." — Lewis Ward, research director, IDC's Gaming, eSports, and VR/AR services

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
