Here we go! Sony’s recent business report contains a lot of information about the PlayStation brand and how it has performed in recent times. As spotted by Push Square, there is also a reference to Xbox.
This is evident in a graph, where Sony compares the “leading category momentum”, with Nintendo (Brand A), and Xbox (Brand D), concluding PlayStation as “the strongest gaming brand”. Take a closer look.
Sony states that the figures in the graph are from the “SIE Brand Momentum Global Tracker”, where the “% of respondents” indicates the overall momentum of a particular brand.
We’re definitely not surprised that PlayStation has enjoyed stronger brand momentum than Xbox overall in recent years, although the release of the Xbox Series X and Series S — as well as the fantastic year Xbox Game Studios enjoyed in 2021 — would suggest to us that the gap has been much smaller in the past than this chart suggests.
