PlayStation is America’s gaming console choice by a wide margin, new study shows

Destructoid · 20 hours ago

A Statista Consumer Insights survey suggests PlayStation remains the most widely used console brand among regular US video-game players, led by the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. The findings indicate strong brand longevity across several generations, although the limited sample means they should be treated as an indication of trends rather than a definitive picture of all American gamers.

Among 3,200 US respondents aged 18 to 64 surveyed between July 2025 and June 2026, 46% said they regularly played on a PS5 or PS5 Pro, compared with 27% on PS4 and 12% on PS3. Nintendo Switch usage was 33%, with 17% reporting Switch 2 use; Xbox figures were 23% for Xbox One, 21% for Xbox Series X|S and 14% for Xbox 360, highlighting continued use of older hardware.

  • PS5 usage led the surveyed US console players.
  • PlayStation generations retained substantial audiences.
  • Older Xbox and Nintendo consoles remain in use.
