  This says Xbox has over 60% of global market share:

    Nintendo 0%

    Doubtful. These numbers provided are completely wrong. Back when files where leaked during this very trial, Epic revealed they had 3 to 4 times more players on Playstations than Xboxes everywhere other than the US.

    Accorsing to Statista (accesible on a third party site if you want to avoid registring), Xbox only has 23% of the market (as opposee to PS’s 45% and Nintendo’s 27%).

    I don’t like Microsoft, and I agree sideloading should be a thing on colsoles too, but they definitely do not hold a majority of the console market, let alone a monopoly.

    Tbh I think that data is incredibly misleading. Every single generation of PlayStation has outsold the Xbox of the same generation(yes even the ps3) en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_best-selling_game_cons….

    Additionally looking at the faq for that site it appears to get its data via page views. What % of console users actually use the browser? Is bet very few. Especially when you consider the ps5 has no built in browser.

    Fair enough.

    I think hardware companies should be banned from jailing their users, unless the users specifically ask to.

    A duopoly doesn’t require a 50/50 market share. It simply requires them to be the only real options and, they are the only options.
