Revealed videogame consoles more reproduced 2021

This year is coming to an end quickly, and it has been interesting for the video game industry. At the end of 2020 the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X took place | S, but the problems of scarcity prevented many players from buying one during last year. Howlongtobeat.com has compiled a list of the most played systems of the year, and that shortage seems to play a role in the narrative. The website (which is owned by IGN) locates PC in the first place, with PlayStation 4 at number two, Nintendo Switch in number three, PS5 at number four and Xbox One at number five.

The complete list can be found on the Tweet embedded below.

The previous Tweet is already inspiring a heated debate between console enthusiasts, but readers must bear in mind that this list is fully based on information provided by site users; Game Bible Lists that number at 344.9K users, which is a solid number, but readers may want to take the data with a grain of salt. Given the installation bases, it is not difficult to imagine that PC, PS4 and SWITCH are among the top 3, but is more likely or less likely that the Average Switch user visit Howlongtobeat.com than a PlayStation fan? It is difficult to say. In addition, it seems quite plausible that PlayStation 3 exceeds Xbox 360 on the list, but defeat both Xbox Series X | S as 3ds seems hard to believe.

Of course, it will be interesting to see how next year's list is developed! At the time of writing this article, it seems that the shortage of next-generation consoles will continue in 2022. However, if things begin to change in the second half of the year, it is very possible that there is a great change towards next generation systems. The Xbox Series S saw great profits at the end of 2021 as a possible result of scarcity, so it is possible that it continues. Switch could begin to slow down on its sixth year in the market, but the line of system exclusives could make users return. It is impossible to predict the future, so we will have to wait and see!
