The PS2 is still performing very strong for the US and Europe, combine PS2 and PS3 sales and Sony still leads global home console sales. Also according to a recent study by far most gamers still play their games on a PS2 in the US compared to other systems (by far the strongest XBox and XBox 360 market).

So if you combine wii and ds sales, Nintendo is totaly dominating the video games market


Nintendo has entirely dominated the handheld console market for nearly 2 decades, but this has changed a lot since the release of the PSP and to a lesser extend capable smartphones / PDAs. I consider home consoles to be very different though, that's why both Nintendo and Sony both offer handheld gaming solutions next to their home consoles, they serve very different pratical purposes.


 So DS selling faster than GBA and controlling almost 70% of the market is somehow not dominating the market?



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
