As for video game consoles, PS4 is the best known platform, and Xbox One X is above Switch.

The Nielsen Agency has published a rich market report on the United States and video games in which it explains several things related to the moment in the region and the popularity of the platforms. Based on more than 2,000 interviews, they have produced a detailed overview of the videogame industry in that region.

For example, they mention that PS4 is the video game console that enjoys greater popularity among fans, with 72% followed at some distance by Xbox One X , of which 59% of respondents say they know. The new Microsoft console is a better known gaming platform than PS4 Pro or Nintendo Switch , and that's because in the last year it has tripled the number of people who are aware of its existence regarding, for example, the double that he has done with the Nintendo console. However, the purchase intention of XOne X with respect to, for example, PS4 or Switch is slightly lower, something that is probably due to its high price.

On the other hand, in the usual confrontation between the physical and the digital, fans older than 13 years playing on the console prefer 66% physical , while older PC users also 13 years prefer in an overwhelming 71% digital .

The preference for playing on the console has gone up, from 47% last year to 49 this time, and also the mobile game from 26% to 30. However, the preference for playing on a computer has dropped from a 27 % to 21% in 2018.
