<pre>& | <pre>Microsoft’s Xbox 360 installed base of consoles sold is expected to grow from 10 million in 2006 to 19.8 million by the end of 2007 and 30.4 million by the end of 2008. The PS 3 suffered from launch problems but IDC expects it and all of the consoles to be successful. The PS 3 is expected to grow to 11.7 million by the end of 2007 and 24.5 million by the end of 2008. The Wii is expected to hit 13.3 million by the end of 2007 and 32.1 million by the en dof 2008. Between those three platforms, the market share in 2008 comes out to 35 percent for Microsoft, 28 percent for Sony, and 37 percent for Nintendo. | ||
So there you have a prediction. Wii is first by the end of 2008, Microsoft is No. 2, and Sony is No. 3. That’s now it all ends, of course, but it’s a big difference from the last generation. By the end of 2011, Sony ends up on top.</pre> | |||
