<p>While this may especially prove true at launch, <a href="https://www.ampereanalysis.com/request_report_download/1">new data from Ampere Analysis</a> suggests this isn’t the case in the long term. In a report just published, the Ampere states that 32.2 percent of PlayStation 4 owners also won an Xbox One, while 18.5 percent of PS4 owners own an Xbox One X. </p>
<p>The cross-ownership flows even stronger in the reverse direction. 47.5 percent of Xbox One households also own a PS4, and 27.4 percent of Xbox One Households have a PlayStation 4 Pro. That means almost half of Xbox One households are effectively two-console households. </p>
<p>Ampere’s data doesn’t make predictions about how this might the next console generation’s sales, and it obviously isn’t able to measure the incoming economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But for this generation of game console ownership to close out with so much overlap does increase a growing agnosticism toward a particular platform of choice, which may be a boon to game developers. </p>
