EA: PS3 To Outsell Xbox 360 In '08 News

Nestled away in EA's supplemental data for fiscal Q3 '08 are some intriguing estimates for console sales during 2008. According to these figures (for Europe and North America), Sony's PlayStation 3 could sell as many as 11.5 million units, with Microsoft's Xbox 360 trailing at only 8 million unit sales.
The estimates for the North American market (based on NPD and TRSTS data), predict a fairly even spread of sales with both consoles pulling in a top-end estimate of 5.5 million sales. EA's European estimates, on the other hand, predict that the PS3 will outsell the Xbox 360 by 3.5 million units (PS3 - 6 million, Xbox 360 - 2.5 million).
The EA figures provide both high and low-end estimates for 2008. In the worst case for Microsoft and the best case for Sony, the PS3 could come close to doubling Xbox 360 unit sales during 2008 (Xbox 360 - 6 million, PS3 - 11.5 million).
Following a meteoric year for Wii sales, it's hardly surprising that EA see this trend continuing in 2008. According to the figures, EA believe that Nintendo's Wii could top Xbox 360 and PS3 sales with 14 million units across Europe and North America during 2008.
In North America, the best case scenario for Nintendo's Wii (6.5 million units) has the console more or less equalling last year's sales of 6.3 million systems. However, EA suggest that the most growth for Nintendo will come from the European market, where sales could jump from 4.8 million (in 2007) to as much as 7.5 million in 2008.
