Analytics: Sony to lead the game console market till 2010    [ 21-03-2006 13:58 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova     Translation by:     

The analytical company In-Stat has made a forecast that despite the competition Sony will keep dominating the game console market till 2010 included. However it might slightly yield to the competitors – Microsoft and Nintendo.

According to In-Stat, Microsoft will outpace Nintendo due to an earlier release of the new generation console (the sales of the Xbox 360 are on since the end of 2005). Nevertheless analysts predict the leadership of not yet released Sony PS3. I’d remind you, Sony has recently set the release of its PS3 for November this year.

Till 2010 Sony PS3 will take slightly more than 50% of the total market of next generation consoles, Microsoft Xbox 360 will get 28.6% and Nintendo Revolution – 21.2%.
