It seems that Sony knowingly spent a lot of money on the promotion of the PlayStation 3. According to the latest statistics from Strategy Analytics, now the share of the famous Japanese company in the gaming consoles market was not much more than 31 percent, and in this great merit of PS3. Moreover, Strategy Analytics analysts still predict that this year Nintendo and Sony will be able to sell 17.5 million Wii and 14 million PS3 this year. As for Microsoft, the American company will sell no more than 10.5 million Xbox 360.
However, Strategy Analytics also reports that in the first quarter the worst sales results of game consoles were recorded. True, Project Natal will be able to help Microsoft if this most complex game controller is released on time in the second half of this year. However, sales of gaming consoles continue to fall. Estimated by Strategy Analytics, this figure may drop by 9 percent compared with 2009. One of the possible reasons is the moral obsolescence of the platforms. As for the success of Sony, it seems, it is associated with a decrease in the price of the PS3, which took place in September last year.
