Product Definition:
A console game is a video game played on a television set or computer monitor. Console games are often created for gaming consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Console games may also be ported to personal computers or mobile devices.
Playstation:
Playstation is a gaming console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was launched in Japan on September 9, 1994, North America on October 26, 1995, and Europe on December 3, 1995. The original PlayStation game console has been updated with several new features and continues to remain the most popular video game system in the world.
The growth of global video games industry can be attributed to constant product innovation by major market players such as Sony Corporation.
Xbox:
The Xbox is a video game console and an entertainment device developed by Microsoft. It was initially launched in 2001 as an external media player for Windows users, after which it was made available for PlayStation 2 and 2003 Apple TV compatible models before its final version 1.0 launch in 2005.
Application Insights:
The individuals and families user application segment dominated the global console game market in 2017. This can be attributed to the increasing availability of casual games, which are suitable for use by all age groups. Moreover, this demographic prefers playing video games at home on a personal computer or gaming console as it offers a more relaxed environment free from external distractions. The competitive game application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising participation in e-sports and professional gaming among young people across the globe.
In recent years, there has been an increase in sports simulators that include elements of FIFA 18 gameplay such as dribbling & passing mechanics with real world players and teams; however these games still remain niche titles only available on consoles & PC platforms thus limiting their penetration across regions but will eventually open new avenues for competitive gaming over next few years especially among youth population who prefer spending time playing video games than watching TV or movies together as a family unit.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global console gaming market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period as well. This can be attributed to increasing penetration of online games and mobile games, which has cannibalized sales of dedicated consoles and handheld devices. Moreover, rising popularity of live streaming platforms has given rise to video game live streaming services such as Twitch that have gained immense popularity among gamers across North America.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for console games from emerging markets such as China and India.
- Proliferation of new gaming platforms (e.g., mobile, VR, etc.) that are driving gamers to invest in consoles for a better gaming experience.
- Introduction of new blockbuster titles that are attracting gamers back to consoles after spending time on other platforms (e.g., mobile).
- Growing popularity of eSports, which is driving console manufacturers to focus on developing more powerful hardware that can support competitive gaming at a high level.
