- Adult entertainment site Pornhub just shared 2024 traffic stats.
- Pornhub showed an increased share for Windows and Edge, but a decline for Xbox.
- Microsoft franchises like Minecraft and Overwatch remained popular.
As a seasoned researcher with a penchant for digging into the nitty-gritty details of tech trends, I find it fascinating to analyze the insights revealed by adult entertainment juggernaut Pornhub. This data provides us with a unique lens through which to scrutinize user behavior and gauge the performance of various platforms across different devices.
As a dedicated enthusiast, I find that Microsoft isn’t always open about its market share analytics, making it necessary for us bloggers and analysts like me to look elsewhere for insights into the ecosystem’s performance. We can resort to resources such as Statista, analysts like Newzoo, or even Steam player concurrency graphs. However, there’s an even more effective method to monitor year-over-year user behavior patterns (if it proves fruitful…).
As a dedicated researcher delving into digital entertainment trends, I’ve been intrigued by the latest transparency initiative from the colossal adult entertainment platform, Pornhub. Remarkably open about user behavior, they’ve shed light on how patterns have evolved on their renowned website throughout the past year, offering valuable insights for 2024.
To put it simply, by examining the past year’s data, we can gather some information about the performance of Microsoft Edge, Windows 11, and Xbox. Microsoft’s performance might be described as somewhat unpredictable or inconsistent during this period.
Initially, we find Microsoft Edge installed on desktops. Since its early debut, Microsoft Edge has made significant strides in performance. However, it hasn’t yet become widely popular, even though it serves as the default browser for Windows systems. Interestingly, it recorded a noteworthy 12% increase compared to last year, claiming approximately 13% of the desktop browser market share.
On desktop systems, Microsoft held an overwhelming lead with approximately 71.7% of the market share. Yet, there were indications suggesting Linux could potentially make a significant impact, as it experienced a notable 41% increase year-over-year. It’s worth considering if some of that growth can be attributed to the Steam Deck.
Approximately 70% of traffic to Pornhub originates from mobile devices, suggesting that many users prefer to access adult content privately on their smartphones or tablets. One might speculate about how much market share Windows Phone could have claimed if it hadn’t been discontinued early. Despite a year-over-year decrease, Mac and Chrome OS still hold significant shares at 20.3% and 12.5%, respectively, with Apple maintaining a strong position in the market.
Although Microsoft maintains a strong position on desktops, the market share for Xbox on gaming consoles has dwindled, finding itself stuck between PS5 and PS4. In terms of game console usage, Xbox now accounts for only 4.9% of traffic to Pornhub, marking a decrease of 70% compared to the previous year. This decline aligns with a drop in Xbox hardware sales as well. If Microsoft’s assertion that it has more Xbox console users than ever is accurate, then one would logically expect an increase in its share of time spent on adult-oriented platforms among those users, wouldn’t they?
Xbox has become less choosy when it comes to partnering with others recently. Characters from popular multiplatform games such as Minecraft and Overwatch continue to be widely searched online. The Fallout franchise, which is owned by Microsoft, experienced a significant increase in popularity, likely due to the success of the TV show. In the charts, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and even Pokemon still reign supreme. It remains to be seen if the allure of Super Hans from the upcoming Xbox game Fable will help boost Microsoft’s standing.
Nonetheless, a small part of me pondered whether the switch to Microsoft Edge, a cloud-tied, privacy-neglecting browser by Xbox, could potentially deter some users.
As an enthusiast for exploring digital frontiers, I put the Xbox Series X to the test, streaming Pornhub content via Microsoft Edge. Earlier iterations of Edge on Xbox struggled with embedded videos, but the recent update seems to have addressed these performance issues. Granted, it’s unlikely that many users are engaging in this activity given console usage doesn’t even make an appearance on Pornhub’s “per device” insights list. Interestingly, desktop use stands at just 7%, with tablets accounting for 2%. Regardless, this seemingly minor statistic proves to be a fascinating topic worth delving into late on a Wednesday night.
In 2024, it was found that Android devices were overwhelmingly the preferred choice for accessing Pornhub, making up an impressive 65% of the 90% share of mobile traffic to the site. This trend has only strengthened its dominance in the market.
Microsoft erected a respectable effort in 2024
This year, Microsoft experienced modest growth in its Windows segment compared to Pornhub, yet Xbox struggled to preserve its earlier market dominance. In past years, Xbox was the preferred console for gaming experiences akin to intimacy. However, PlayStation significantly boosted its user base this time around, pushing Xbox to third place. It could be that Xbox Game Pass is leading Xbox users to explore other controllers. Additionally, it seems PlayStation has been more adept at pressing the right buttons during this generation, although consoles are primarily designed for fun, not romantic encounters.
I’m wondering what factors could be causing users to shy away from Apple’s devices, as they appear to be making some users uncomfortable. However, it’s important to acknowledge that Android continues to be the preferred choice for many, earning it the title of the most widely-used platform for private moments.
