Handhelds will outsell home consoles in future says research firm

Is the future of gaming in your hands? The mobile industry thinks so too

NEWS: 26 March 2007 10:22 GMT by Chris Ford

PSP and Nintendo DS could be the top selling gaming platform by 2011, say DFC Intelligence, out-selling home consoles.

According to the research firm, the handheld market is going to be valued at over $10 billion by the end of 2007, and is set to keep rising.

Analyst David Cole states in the paper, The Market for Portable Videogames, "The DS has the potential to be the best-selling interactive entertainment platform ever", and he goes on to estimate that the PSP will take a significant percentage of the market despite lagging behind Nintendo’s handheld.

"Under the right scenario, by 2011 the combined installed base of the DS and PSP could exceed that for the Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360", continued Cole.
