That’s because Canon still sells a lot of DSLRs and lenses. You take those away and Sony is No. 1 across the board. Canon will be out of DSLRs within two to three years.
I've been saying that for the past few replies. I am using very precise language as proclamations of #1 of anything often times uses slightly vague language for the purpose of positive spin.
Sony may sell a lot of bodies but there is little to no data on 1st party lens sales.
There is 1.44 1st party EF lens for every EF body shipped.
I'd want to know how many 1st party E lenses for every E body shipped.
I put more credence on overall ILC shipment/sales until all relevant brands are all on MILC.
Based on your link's graphics Nikon appears to be #4 or #5 in ILCs. So no big surprise they selectively license their Z mount.
FujiFilm is #3 in ILCs so no big surprise they are also selectively licensing their X mount.
OM Digital Solutions (the camera brand formerly known as Olympus) is #3 for MILCs. 2 years ago Olympus unloaded them. I wonder if being part of micro4/3rds negatively impacted their 1st party lens sales.
Panasonic had to expand to full frame with the L mount alliance.
