Shipments are expected show a startling 77% growth in 2017
Jon Peddie Research (JPR), the industry’s research and consulting firm for graphics and multimedia, today revealed the TV-gaming market saw a slight dip in 2016 from 2015, but is poised to make a dramatic jump in 2017.
2016 Was a Disappointment
The introduction of a 4K PS4, a new Xbox-one (Scorpion), and the take up of the recently released Nintendo Switch promise to make 2017 the best year for gaming consoles in three years. Included in the mix are ARM-based devices like Nvidia’s Shield and Micro controllers from China.
The enhanced PS4, and VR capability didn’t give the kick Sony and others had hoped for, nor did the slimed down Xbox-one. Nintendo’s Switch arrived late, but demonstrated a pent-up demand by getting off to a good start adding 2.7 million units to the market in Q1’17.
Jon Peddie Research’s TV Gaming Report is available now in an electronic form and sells for $8000. Included with this report is an Excel workbook with the data used to create the charts, the charts themselves, and supplemental information. The annual subscription price for JPR’s TV Gaming Report is $12,000 and includes 2 semi-annual issues.
