The future games industry will favor two consoles | DFC Intelligence

DFC Intelligence has released its forecast for the games industry, in which it predicts that two out of three consoles will succeed.

The games industry will not only grow in the next few years, but experience shifts in the hardware market, according to DFC Intelligence — with only two clear winners out of three major manufacturers. The research and advisory firm has released its annual market report and forecast today, and one of the major takeaways of the latter is that consumers will only have room in their wallets for two new gaming consoles, while the third will struggle to find its place. While 2025 will mark the beginning of that upward trajectory, some huge questions remain, including who will lose the next-gen console war and who will win the game software distribution battle.
