The Sony PlayStation 3 will double its installed base this year, posting the strongest growth of any video game console and narrowing the gap with rivals, leading research firm iSuppli has said.
Worldwide sales of the PS3 are expected to be 10 million units this year, compared with 12.2 million units for Nintendo Wii and 7.5 million units for Microsoft's Xbox 360, iSuppli said.
As widely expected given its strong sales, lower price and games that appeal to a broader audience, the Wii is in line to become the industry leader with a total global installed base of 30.2 million units. The big loser is expected tro be Microsoft who are still struggling with console quality problems.
