DFC says PS3 will pass 360 next year

In its May games industry report, DFC Intelligence has predicted that PS3 will overtake Xbox 360 in terms of installed base next year.

“The Xbox 360 was unable to take advantage of Sony’s struggles to build the type of large lead needed to maintain a long-term advantage,” said the firm.

The reports reckon Wii will have the highest sales of this generation, which will surpass console sales in the previous cycle by 2011.

 

PS3 Picked to Pass 360 in 2011

It may be Kinect over Move for the holidays but analyst group DFC Intelligence nonetheless predicts that 2011 will be the year that the PlayStation 3 overtakes the Xbox 360 in worldwide sales.

Things are looking rosy for Kinect, the motion control device for the Xbox 360 that came out earlier this month. A million of the things sold in just ten days, holiday sales are projected to hit five million units and GameStop has already called it the winner of the winter. But the holiday season is just one battle in the ceaseless meat grinder nightmare of the Console Wars and DFC Intelligence says it won't be enough to hold back the surging onslaught of the Big Sony Machine.

 

So they predicted ps3 to pass in install base in 2009 and worldwide sales in 2011.

What's the problem? Those are two different things.
