The game market research enterprise DFC founder of video game industry monopoly position to think of the factors of the importance of market share and not so high, but a variety of patterns that are difficult to rob psu on Xbox 360 PS3 leading throne. The market share of the PS3 DFC forecast is 50%.

“Our best scene simulation suggests that the sales of the PS3 than the PS2 to be good,” DFC founder and chairman of David Cole in reply to the reporter said inquires, “but the Microsoft psu on Xbox 360 and nintendo’s” revolution “can still get stable market position.” The report also gives prediction DFC psu on Xbox 360 in the best circumstances may be 40% market share, and nintendo’s new host most likely is 35%. People asked to predict in these digital to further explanation, Cole says, “market share and not too important data. More important is already the number of installation and if not market the first also can use a platform to make money.”

If Cole about already installed the number of users is that right, SONY will undoubtedly have a large lead. Cole says DFC prepare these predictions were based on more than 30 kinds of consumer behavior model of the analysis of the results. “There are parts of the consumption

The new system will be in the first (psu on Xbox 360) appears when it’s necessary to make moves. “But many other similar consumers tend to buy two or more video games. As a result, Cole, the market share of the prediction is actually the overlapping, about 25% of consumers have more than a host.

The goal of course all manufacturers have always is profit, but to the lead popularity game machine enterprise also have help. SONY or Microsoft into the battle for market position has more than once. “Better platform is of course the most fun,” Cole added. “But for now, the difference between various platform is not big, the only difference only release dates, so, let the existing customers to stay satisfied for a period of time is very important factors such as…….”

Microsoft would never agree to Cole view. In psu on Xbox 360 shortly after the release, including gates, etc have said Microsoft digital top Microsoft is the goal of the market first.

So far, SONY is still no mention of the PS3 may release dates. However, several retailers are PS3 release date may be in May of 2006, and like PS3land. Com websites such as the estimate in March next year. But nintendo “revolution” of may be followed by next summer, launched.

The European Union to Microsoft antitrust ruling set up by the execution of the deadline today will officially expired. The eu made it clear that it will be on whether Microsoft in the time limit to antitrust probe requirements, and in a few weeks to decide whether the world with the software dominates a hefty fine.

European Union competition committee, terry g rose last week to Microsoft ultimatum,

Make it must be in the May 31 to fulfill the eu to its last year to antitrust ruling, or Microsoft will face the highest every day, global sales of 5 stiff fines, this number may be at about $5 million. According to the calculation, if from now on in the first half to drag it, Microsoft will pay $900 million for a high price, and the European Union on its last march a one-time antitrust fines also however 650 million dollars.

According to the requirements of the European Union, Microsoft will have to be a media player completely from “everywhere” Windows operating systems removed, makes the computer manufacturers to companies such as apple RealNetworks or purchase movie and music alternatives.

In addition, Microsoft must also will Windows server information source code with rival sharing, which can ensure the realization of interoperability, such as printers and equipment can in all kinds of operating system environment use. In order to guarantee the effectiveness of measures, should also have a bypass trust people against Microsoft supervision.

In the European Union under strong pressure, Microsoft showed a “very cooperation” gesture. Microsoft spokesman Tom Brooks said: “we have been working hard, and the European Union to reconciliation direction.”

Last weekend, both sides are in a compromise agreement and on the job. The focus of the consultation in Microsoft to rival the Windows open source code will charge fees and royalties. Microsoft has put forward by price jumps in the way, if the use of the source code for no more than eight days, every day the payment of 500 euros ($627).

The European commission spokesman Jonathan jean todt said: “this is a very complex issue, we should carefully study exactly what they do what, this could take several weeks.” Last month, the eu’s regulators to do not contain media player Windows version doubt whether technology standard.

And once the results show that Microsoft is not entirely satisfied with the European Union to words, Todd says will immediately start special procedures, to cash a fine “promises”. Because “evidence”, the European Union has no longer need more time getting can achieve all 25 countries agreed to, through to the resolution of the Microsoft fines.

Some experts speculate that, in the European commission into August recess period before, the final penalty decision can be known, of course, all must also depending on Microsoft’s “cooperate”.

Commission officials said they are consulting Microsoft rivals opinion, to check whether Microsoft abide by the European commission in the antitrust ruling set last year.

The European commission on Friday listened to Microsoft rivals opinions, and then will be based on the results of the survey to decide whether further punishment. The amount of the maximum penalty could reach 5% of the business turnover every day. In march of last year because Microsoft abused its Windows operating system of monopoly position, be fined up to record $497 million.

Microsoft insisted that he kept the eu decision process. Microsoft spokesman dirk del martino said: “we promise full compliance with the European Union’s ruling, and with the European commission will this goal constructively. As we progress, the European commission process from the industry to seek feedback is very be necessary.”

The European Union’s spokesman Jonathan said, the commission has not decided to Microsoft antitrust penalty if measures keep satisfactory. A major problem is deleted Media Player Windows name. And has rejected Microsoft puts forward name, say there is not attractive and affect sales. Todd says: “all decisions in the eu market research to end after.” Forced Microsoft Windows from the removing of the built-in Media Player Media Player’s ruling, is seen as a blow a measure of the Microsoft monopoly. Earlier, Microsoft has the United States by the department of justice has brought the similar charges. In 2002, Microsoft reached a settlement with the U.S. department of justice, and finally only that Microsoft agreed to users of Microsoft’s media player hidden and set other players as the default player.

Microsoft now has declined to report any comment. Microsoft says: “in this suit completely review, we won’t make any before the comment”. In the 2001 years since the Internet portal Daum from South Korea after complaints, the fair trade commission in South Korea has Microsoft sales more than four years of investigation. In the last year and the United States sued Microsoft Daum RealNetworks, this investigation get further.

Central newspaper: the United States justice department officials for Microsoft when lobbyists South Korea says it will not yield FTC

The U.S. justice department officials November 2 visited South Korea fair trade commission (FTC), discussed the is currently about Microsoft’s implementation of the investigation.

Another FTC officials say, the U.S. justice department officials in the private access to convey the information is “unprecedented”. South Korea FTC to Microsoft antitrust investigation on the latest progress of the cause of the industry analysts worry. If the FTC charges for Microsoft, South Korea and the United States the relationship between trade could be affected. South Korea, however, FTC and not to yield. FTC spokesman said, we will not by the United States justice department officials visit influence. Microsoft recently has said, if there’s ruling against Microsoft, Microsoft will be withdrawn from the market in Korea or put off to South Korea release. South Korea information communications that this message on November 2, expressed concern, and urged Microsoft in South Korea to its responsibility for product ks to Microsoft submitted and similar charges, the fair trade commission thus further widened the scope of investigation, and will, in the near future, make the final decision. The fair trade commission spokesman said: “we have Microsoft case determined, are now working to reach a consensus, today may or may not announce the results.”

Microsoft had earlier said, complain without any results. The company and the fair trade commission full cooperation, the structure of the department investigation.

To fight injustice of business behavior our attitude won’t have changed a bit.”

Microsoft says no monopoly charges after according to, but will cooperate fully with regulators investigation. Microsoft says, remove MSN Messenger program code can destroy the function of the other components Windows, and threaten related upgrade products ability.

Earlier this month, RealNetworks and Microsoft in the United States reached a settlement, Microsoft has agreed to pay $761 million to the latter to stop this pile of continued for two years the lawsuit. RealNetworks then said, will give up in South Korea and the European market to Microsoft filed a similar lawsuit. However KFTC insists its to Microsoft survey will not be affected by the above the influence of the settlement agreement.

According to south Korean regulators data, ended June 30, 2004 fiscal year, Microsoft in South Korea’s sales of around us $224 million, profits but $8 million. Over the same period, Microsoft global sales and profits were as high as $37 billion and $8.2 billion.

Because like South Korea such as smaller market accounted for only to less than 1% of global income, so Microsoft is likely to programming and the potential cost of technological failure to consider and stop for the market development in different versions of the Windows operating system.
