Dublin-based
Research
and Markets claims that the latest version of Sony's games console will rack
up 71 million sales, with the Xbox 360 selling around 40 million and the Wii
coming third with around 31 million.
However, the company said that the PlayStation 3 would not dominate the
market in the same way as the previous versions of Sony's games consoles.
Research and Markets puts this down to Sony's delayed introduction of the
console into Europe and the head start gained by the Xbox 360.
The analysis comes despite a sales report from the US showing that the Xbox
360 was the best-selling games console in the US during November and December.
Market analyst
NPD reported that
preliminary figures showed the Xbox 360 sold almost two million consoles in
North America, with the Wii running it close with 1.8 million.
Sony's console followed in third place with just 750,000 units sold from its
17 November US launch date.
