Nintendo better do something fast, or rely on GBA more if this market research is any indication. Looks like X-Box will be doing much better this year if the predictions are correct.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2003--the number of users of advanced games consoles soared by 128 percent in 2002, reaching 56.3 million worldwide, according to the latest research from Strategy Analytics' Broadband Entertainment Strategies service. 75 percent of users own Sony's PlayStation 2, compared to 13 percent with Nintendo's GameCube, and 12 percent with Microsoft's XBox. Forecasts suggest GameCube will lose ground during 2003. According to the analysts, Nintendo could build a leading position in the $12 billion software market, but it must first abandon its present console strategy.
