Analyst Says PS3 May Still Win Console War
While many believe it’s a foregone conclusion that the Wii will be the top-selling console of this generation, analyst David Mercer sees things differently. Mercer claims that the Wii’s hey-day has passed, and while Nintendo positioned their console for a sprint, Sony has been gearing up for a marathon.
“But the signs are that the Wii has peaked in terms of console sales, and its installed base will begin to decline after 2011,” said Mercer. “Meanwhile, Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 will continue to grow, so that the PS3 will become the largest platform globally by 2013. In terms of cumulative lifetime sales we expect the PS3 to hit 127 million units, compared to 103 million Wiis.”
