Next-gen console sales: 2008 to 2010
So which game console will take over the world? Well, over at Next Generation, the sales estimates from SFG Research for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii sales have been posted.
According to SFG, by 2010 in North America there will be 29.4 million people with 360s, 24.2 million people with PS3s, and 13.5 million people with Wiis. Worldwide, PS3 sales will reach 62 million by 2010, while the 360 will sell 46 million units and the Wii will sell 25 million units. The PS3 will overtake the Xbox 360 in terms of worldwide sales in 2008 (next year).
By the way, we tried to find out who this “SFG Research” entity is.
Is this “SFG” the StanCorp Financial Group (the insurance people)? Most likely it’s the Susquehanna Financial Group of the Susqueahanna International Group LLP (a research and investment banking firm with “highly-motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds”), but we’re not too sure.
Who knows, this SFG Research group might be the Statistiska Forskningsgruppen (the matematisk statistik group at Sweden’s Stockholm University that sometimes does industry probability research).
