PlayStation 3 to beat rivals in the long run, analysts say
Believe it or not, but Strategic Analytics claims that that Sony’s Playstation 3 will rise up to dominate the ever-heated console wars in terms of lifetime units sold. According to its analysts, Sony will manage to sell 127 million units over the course of the console’s life, although the Wii will still lead the PS3 in terms of annual sales. On the other hand, PCMag predicts that Nintendo will sell 103 million Wiis over the course of its existence. Strange enough, but both sources have released no numbers referring to anticipated lifetime sales of Microsoft’s Xbox360 platform. For 2010, SA predicted that sales of the Wii are expected to reach 17.5 million units; the PlayStation 3 will sell 14.0 million; the Xbox 360, 10.5 million; and the PS2, 5.5 million.
It's worth noting that Sony is said to have a mobile gaming platform in the works. As for Microsoft, Steve Ballmer recently hinted at the possibility of new form factors for the Xbox platform, Slash Gear says.
