PJ McNealy this, PJ McNealy that. This analyst from firm American Technology Research has been very vocal over the last few days about the on-going developments in the gaming industry. Last time we heard, the guy mentioned both Nintendo and Sony next-gen consoles sold-out at their respective launches.
Well, what do you know, McNealy is creating a buzz once more by coming up with the actual number of units available for the Wii and the PS3 last week. According to him, Nintendo managed to came up with 425,000 to 475,000 units and around two million units more will be available until the end of this year.
