Next in line are Call of Duty (3.1%), Fortnite (3.1%), Assassin’s Creed (2.9%), Gran Turismo (2.9%), and Minecraft (2.8%). Interestingly, two series out of the top 5 belong to Microsoft. Theoretically, the American company could capture 5% of players from Sony - 10 years from now, when the exclusive agreement concludes.
74% of PlayStation owners express their desire to acquire the next generation. For Xbox, this figure stands at 44%.
