The global market for handheld video game systems is set to buck weak conditions in the global consumer electronics market and rise by 4.9 percent in units and 8.2 percent in revenue during 2009, due to moves by Sony and Nintendo to freshen up their products.
While the long-term growth rate isnÂ’t staggering by any means, NintendoÂ’s and SonyÂ’s platform revisions should keep their portable game console shipments growing until they are able to roll out next-generation handheld platforms.
