By the end of 2009, Sony’s PS3 will have sold 34 million units, followed by Xbox 360 at 28 mill, and NIntendo Wii in last place with 25 million sales altogether. These numbers were crunched together by top video game magazine publisher, Enterbrain.”The PS3 will have a tough time globally at the initial stage. Its launch titles in Japan and exclusive software titles overseas are quite limited,” Enterbrain President Hirokazu Hamamura told a seminar.
“But its overwhelmingly realistic graphics will give it a long life span. It will stay competitive even when a game console battle breaks out among a newer generation of machines in 2010. Sales should grow every time Sony cuts prices,” he said.
However, it will take a while for Sony to get there. The publisher believes that while Wii will sell 5.47 million by the end of March 2007, short of Nintendo’s expectations, PlayStation 3 will sell only 4.13 million in the same time period.
