It's a race that won't be finished until 2011, according to Chris Deering (former head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe), but he's already calling it a tie between Sony and Nintendo. Keep in mind, this was after week ending numbers came out showing over 40,000 Wii units sold in Japan, with the PS3 a distant 9,500 units sold. So, clearly there's a lot to do in three years.
Deering arrived at these figures "by triangulating Screen Digest and IDG data. He also took into account factors such as the growth of hi-def and the grey gamer market, the emergence of new game engines and increasing ubiquity of wi-fi access" and we imagine he probably tried out runestones, tarot cards, and a ouija board just to be safe.
What's impressive are the sheer numbers alone. He predicts that by 2011 both Sony and Nintendo will have sold 230 million total machines each (Sony: PS3 + PS2 + PSP; Nintendo: Wii + DS), and that the Xbox 360 will have reached a user base of 40 million. The only thing is, the 360 has already reached the 20 million mark, so he thinks it'll continue on that track for the next three years at exactly the same pace, due to the "set-top box hi-def phenomenon."
He also concludes that the number of potential gamers will reach 2.5 billion due to the amounts of consoles, computers, and mobile phones sold, to which we say... isn't everyone a potential gamer?
I think the Wii has the hardware side locked up already. The battle is now between Sony and Microsoft for the first loser spot. I think PS3 can take 360 in the end since Microsoft are really a one market wonder which can only carry them so far. Microsoft on the other hand do put up amazing software sales though and it will be hard for Nintendo or Sony to come anywhere near that.
EDIT: Just read that and realized he is comparing multiple gens so he pretty much says Wii will win too since PS2 crushed the GC enough that the only way Nintendo culd tie them is to counter that with the Wii crushing the PS3. But really he is just another moronic analyst making some stupid random prediction To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
EDIT 2: Actually he isn't even adding the GC sales onto that. How flawed can you make something like this.
