A new report from DFC Intelligence predicts that next-generation gaming consoles will have combined U.S. sales of over 60 million units by the year 2005. Total U.S. revenue for the interactive entertainment industry is projected to exceed US$12 billion by 2003, a 50% increase from 2000 revenue. David Cole, president of DFC Intelligence, said, "We believe that over the next few years consumers will be spending a great deal of money on video and computer games. However, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about exactly which game systems will do well. The report expects Sony's PlayStation 2 to be the leading system, with significant competition from the Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox consoles. The full report contains complete forecasts to 2005 for video game hardware and software, PC games and portable game systems. DFC Intelligence is a research firm focused on interactive and digital entertainment.
