Analysts: NPD Highlights Continued PS2 Strength, PS3 Lags

Gamasutra, 09.05AM PST, 01/18/08 - Brandon Boyer

Following yesterday's U.S. sales report from NPD, Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter and simExchange's Jesse Divnich have commented on still surprisingly strong PS2 sales, as well as continued troubles for third parties due to the PS3's relatively small installed base.

Divnich said 2008's momentum will likely indicate the 'true' console war winner.

Some PS3 software sales figures exclusive to simExchange highlight the problems third party publishers are having on the system.

SimExchange's report also offered figures for eight titles outside the top 10.

The PS3's future might also be aided by recent victories in the Blu-ray/HD-DVD battle, Pachter concluded.
