Game-Console Penetration To Fall Below 50% By 2019

April 05, 2016

The number of broadband-connected households with a game console will fall to less than 50 percent by 2019 from today's 58 percent, thanks to the growth of gaming options on platforms such as smart TVs, media streamers and mobile devices, Parks Associates said.

Virtual-reality headsets also promise to take a toll, given that VR headsets announced to date — save for Sony’s PlayStation VR for the PlayStation 4 — are intended for use with gaming PCs or cellphones, Parks said.

By 2019, game-console unit sales will have fallen for almost 10 years, Parks said.
