EA Released its latest financial results and opened its thoughts on console sales throughout north America and Europe for 2008. It is EA’s belief the PS3 will out sell Microsoft’s Xbox 360 by a significant amount. The release points out EA believes the PS3 will sell between 9.5 million and 11.5 million consoles, and the Xbox 360 will offload between 6 and 8 million units in 2008.

 

Regardless of these numbers, the Nintendo Wii is expected to continue dominating the market this year with projected European sales totaling 12 to 14 million consoles. Wii sales have shot through the roof with continued shortages in some areas still being reported. 

 

EA currently sees the PS3 selling 5 to 6 million units alone in Europe this year which towers over the 360’s projected sales of 2.5 to 2.5 million units.
