"Competition between these players is fierce," said Brahm Eiley, president of Convergence Consulting Group Ltd. By year-end, the Toronto research firm estimates market leader Sony will have sold a cumulative total of about 2.5 million PlayStation 2 (PS2) units in Canada. Nintendo and Microsoft are locked in a tight battle for second place with the software giant's Xbox racking up about 850,000 in unit sales compared with more than 800,000 Nintendo GameCube devices.
