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.

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
