Microsoft: Nintendo won this generation, we will fight Sony for 2nd place
微軟副總裁說 任天堂將在這個世代的遊戲機獲勝
而微軟將會力戰sony贏得第二名
I'm not at a point where I can say we're going to beat Nintendo," says Don Mattrick, senior vice-president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business.
這位副總裁 Don mattrick 說 微軟並不是將要打敗任天堂 在這時間點上
In an interview with Business Week published on Wednesday, Xbox vice president Don Mattrick admitted the 360 probably won't catch Wii, but he still believes his company will outsell the PlayStation 3.
他承認360 可能沒有辦法追上 wii 但是他相信微軟360將會賣過PS3
Second-Place Finish?
第二名之爭已經結束 ???
Luring such gamers should keep Microsoft ahead of Sony, though even Microsoft's top Xbox boss acknowledges the company is unlikely to catch up to Nintendo. "I'm not at a point where I can say we're going to beat Nintendo," says Don Mattrick, senior vice-president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business. Indeed, Nintendo is likely to run away with the lead in the current generation of console gaming, leaving Microsoft and Sony to battle for second place. Microsoft's lead over Sony, coupled with the changes it's bringing to the console, positions it to secure that spot, Mattrick says: "We will sell more consoles this generation than Sony."
重點就是 最後一句 微軟將會讓360賣超過 sony 的 PS3
There, Microsoft has a fighting chance. While Nintendo sold 11.4 million Wiis in the U.S. through the end of July, Microsoft is solidly in second, selling 10.7 million Xbox 360s, according to market research firm NPD . Sony is far behind, with 5.1 million PlayStation 3s sold. Worldwide, the race for second is tighter, though Microsoft is still ahead of Sony, according to sales estimates from market researcher IDC. By yearend, the firm estimates that Microsoft will have shipped 27.7 million Xbox 360s, compared with Sony's 24.2 million PlayStation 3s. Nintendo will dwarf both with 44.5 million Wiis shipped.
以上數據應該是指美國市場 到七月底 任天堂在美國市場賣了1140萬台
而360賣了1070萬台 PS3賣了510萬台
而在世界銷售角度上 差距卻非常的小 但是 微軟仍領先 sony
而 IDC 估計在今年結束 360 將會賣出2770萬台 而 sony將會賣出2420萬台PS3
至於任天堂將會達到4450萬台
