Until 2008, Wii shall outsell everyone else
Hah! What a fantastic subject line. Man, using Nintendo's new console as a pun never gets tired. You know what else never gets tired? Analrapists Analysts. Another Arrested Development reference for you (insert smiley face). They can say something, then another one will say something else and people will listen. Sort of. Anyway, this market analysis comes from market research firm IDC and it sounds pretty believable, if not something we could have conjectured based on common sense.
The firm released these statements: "IDC believes hardware shipments of Nintendo's Wii will capture a little more than a third of the worldwide market by 2008, rising slightly above Sony's PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360...Nintendo is the only one of the three manufacturers working to grow its accessible market for its hardware and software by broadening its audience beyond the traditional market." They go on to talk about how the hardcore market is split between Microsoft and Sony -- that market is smaller, too. Obviously. This all makes sense, really. The Wii is definitely being reported as the "it" item not just for gamers but for those outside the typically targeted demographic. It may lose some steam after next year, but by that time it might have a huge lead over the other systems. What do you guys think?
