Activision Publishing CEO Michael Griffith has outlined the company's hardware and software sales predictions for 2010.
"… Console sales remain strong in 2009 and as of December 31st, the installed base of hardware in US and Europe for current generation systems and handhelds was 218 million units, an increase of 37 per cent year-over-year," he told investors, after Activision reported "better-than-expected" financial results.
"Looking to 2010, we expect the installed base of current generation systems to grow to 265 million, making this cycle the largest ever. By platform specifically, we are projecting the PS3 to be up nine million units, the 360 to grow eight million, the Wii to be up 12 million and we expect the DS and PSP handhelds to grow in excess of 18 million units overall.
