Zdnet has done some rummaging through some market research which reports a possible 53% (hardware) market share in
favor of Sony for their PS3. It's hard to tell from the blog entry whether or not their figure of a $20 Billion market
by 2009 is referring to the PS3 alone, but I guess that doesn't matter. What does matter is that these guys are saying
that Sony will win the next-gen console market with a healthy lead of 53% and that Microsoft and Nintendo will have to
scrap over the remaining 47%. Of course these figures aren't set in stone and multiple factors could influence the
market share of any of the consoles. What is clear is that Sony won't have the kind of market domination it enjoys
currently with its Playstation 2.
