PS3 Predicted to Lead Market Through 2011

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-missed-the-analysts-right dept.

eldavojohn writes "The Yankee Group (a Boston Technology firm) recently announced that it predicts Sony's PS3 to lead the market with a 44% share through 2011. Most interesting is their prediction that the Wii will maintain only 16% of the market share. From the article: 'The analyst group believes Sony will lead in next-gen market share by 44% in 2011, with Xbox 360 taking a close 40% share, followed by Wii with a wee little bitty 16% share.'"

    There is another meaning:
    Anyone from any state that did not secede from the Union. This includes states that didn't even exist at the time.
    And yes, as a general rule, Yankees are confused. They think, for example, that they won the Civil War. Hint: Civil Wars involve destroying your own factors of production. Everyone loses, even the 'winner'.
    This is why I take anything that falls out of the mouth of a Kennedy (just an example) with large quantities of grainy salt.

    This got modded Insightful?

    All he did was take cheap, sarcastic shots at the person above him, and called him a kid based on his name!

    Sure he cited a few articles, but even those are either from biased sources, or dont back up his assumption of greatness!

    Example from the gamespy article:
    Although I spent less than 10 minutes playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, I can already tell that my love for the series is in relatively safe hands on the Wii. It does take a little bit of time to adjust to the controls -- and now after an afternoon of Wii'ing my arms ache

    Maybe you should READ the article before you cite it!

    Then again we can't expect any reasonable Nintendo discussion from someone with the nick "Wind_Walker". Have fun playing with your Wii fanboy.

  5. Why Wii? Even the PS2 is more fun! by pinkstuff · · Score: 0, Troll

    Everyone rants and raves about the Wii remote, and how original it is, and how great Nintendo are for doing something so original, and, well kooky.

    I wish to enlighten people here - the Wii won't be much more powerful than the PS2, and the PS2 already has loads of fun and kooky games. Look at Sing Star, Buzz, and my personal favourite, Guitar Hero. So tell me again, why would I go out and buy a Wii?
