Respected UK research firm Screen Digest has published a report claiming that the PlayStation 3 has what it takes to win out in the battle of the consoles.
The document, which also goes on to question the potential of rival formats Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, paints a particularly gloomy picture for Microsoft's system, pointing out that the system has enjoyed limited success in Asian markets and with games such as Viva Pinata.
Discussing the Xbox 360, the report states: "A scratching of heads has started over questions concerning the long term viability of the platform in some territories. With the UK underpinning European performance and without year-on-year sales improving across the rest of the region, the platform could be in jeopardy on a global basis."
