A report
released today by SIG analysts suggests that U.S. sales of the Sony PSP will outperform the Nintendo DS over the next
five years. The report compares estimates for the first five years of each machine's life, using sell-in and factory
shipments. From the article: "Sony will likely expand the addressable market for portable gaming devices with the PSP. As the class of gamers seeking console-like gaming grows, the PSP will be the only serious alternative to Nintendo portables. In time the variety and depth of games on the PSP could attract a larger demographic than even Nintendo portables."
The analyst group also claims that third-party games will make up 76% of the PSP game library and only 42% on the Nintendo DS. Go figure.
