Sony's E3? press conference was perhaps a little light on new game content, but they did present a new 256 player massively multiplayer online shooter game type called MAG: Massive Action Game. The game geeks at Wired are already talking about this new category of "enormously multiplayer games" (see video embedded above). The new PS3 video store was also interesting, as well as the new $399 80GB PS3, but no major new innovations as we saw yesterday at the Nintendo press conference.

Report: Sony PS3 to Dominate Game Console Market Through 2010

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 20, 2006 - 7:57am.

Scottsdale, Ariz. - Sony will continue to dominate the video game console market through 2010, well into the next-generation console cycle that includes the already-released Microsoft Xbox 360 and forthcoming PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution, according to a forecast from market research firm In-Stat. The firm predicts that the Sony PlayStation 3 will account for just over 50% of the console installed base through 2010, followed by the Xbox 360 (28.6%) and Revolution (21.2%). "Microsoft will outship Nintendo in the next generation of consoles due to its head start in launching, its strength in the North American market, and its appeal to older gamers, a demographic that seems to widen with each new generation of consoles," said In-Stat analyst Brian O'Rourke.
