Sony boss Chris Deering has surprised many by predicting that the firm's PlayStation 2 console, which launched in the UK in the year 2000, will have more active users than Nintendo's Wii by 2011. Speaking at the launch of Edinburgh's Interactive Festival, the games chief said all platforms will see major growth by 2011, predicting there will be 2.5 billion gamers worldwide. Deering said the DS will have rocketed to 150m users, but top of the home console market will be the PS2 with 90m active users. The Sony boss added the Wii will be second with 80m users, the PS3 and PSP will be at 70m and the Xbox 360 at 40m.

[Edit]Personally I don't care for any of this sort of business. I'm happy with my DS for the time being. When I get around to buying one of those 3 consoles, it wont be based on how many people own or 'actively use' those consoles.
