190M Households Own Next-Gen Console by 2012?

[Emabulator]

Digital Spy has word on a report issued by TDG that claims next-generation consoles will be found in 190 million households by 2012.

Approximately 190 million households worldwide will own a next-generation console by 2012, a new report has claimed.

According to research by technology analysts TDG, around 148 million of these console owners will also have their machine connected to the internet.

The figures suggest that 110 million next-generation consoles will be signed up to use multimedia and gaming services from Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network or Nintendo's Wii Online by 2012.

Just in time for the next, next-generation.

Thanks, 1UP.

Interesting that we're still counting the Wii as "Next Gen".

I guess that's plausible. Isn't that roughly how many consoles were sold last gen too?

I need to get one of these jobs. Getting paid to state stupid things and still get to drive nice BMW's must be a rough life. I really don't have the desire to research the posts etc, but I think everyone agree's/agreed, that the new console wave of systems will hit by 2011. So unless they are trying to be all suave and use cool words to impress their investors, all I have to say is, how do I get one of these jobs?
