Over the past several years Wi-Fi has appeared in a greater number of entertainment devices, from cameras to gaming devices (handheld and consoles), to Personal Media Players (PMPs). Across these four categories, shipments have increased from 83.0 million in 2007 to 119.3 million units in 2009. This growth trend is expected to continue, with total shipments growing to 216.4 million by 2013. Handheld gaming devices account for the largest portion of these shipments followed by gaming consoles.
While a growing number of entertainment devices have Wi-Fi embedded, relatively few companies are dominating the market. Most product categories only have a few players, often with a single company dominating the market. For gaming consoles and gaming devices, Nintendo dominates the market. In the PMP market, Apple is dominating sales with the iPod Touch.
“Wi-Fi in Entertainment Devices: Wi-Fi Becomes the Multimedia Interface of Choice” addresses the market for Wi-Fi-enabled devices in the PMP, handheld games, game console, and digital camera markets and provides the following:

Wi-Fiは、消費者向けエンターテインメントデバイスのマルチメディアインターフェースの選択肢に
アリゾナ州スコッツデール、2009年12月15日
過去数年間で、Wi-Fiは、カメラやゲーム機(携帯型と据置型)、パーソナルメディアプレーヤ(PMP)などのエンターテインメントデバイスへの組込みによって市場を席巻したと、米国調査会社インスタット社は報告している。Wi-Fi機能搭載のエンターテインメントデバイスの出荷数は、2009-2013年に1億880万から1億7730万に増加するだろう。
「Wi-Fi機能搭載のエンターテインメントデバイスが増加しているが、多くの製品カテゴリーには2、3社しかなく、1社で市場を独占しているような場合も多い。据置きゲーム機や携帯ゲーム機の市場は任天堂が独占しており、2009年の市場では、Wi-Fi機能搭載の据置きは79％、携帯ゲーム機は87％と支配的である」とインスタット社のアナリストVictoria Fodale氏は語る。
インスタット社は、下記についても調査した。
- AppleのiPod Touchは、Wi-Fi機能搭載のPMP市場シェアで明らかにトップであるが、Archos、Chumby Industries、Com One、Commodore International、Cowon、Creative、Dell、Haier、iriver、Logitech、Microsoft、ソニー、東芝、Venzeroなどの多くのベンダも製品を提供している
- 2009年上半期には、ニコンがWi-Fi機能搭載のカメラ市場の出荷数の91％を占めている
- 過去数年間で、すべての据置き型ゲーム機がWi-Fi機能搭載が進み、この流れは今後の予測期間も継続するだろう。携帯型ゲーム機に今後おこる最大の変化は、Wi-Fi機能の搭載だろう。従来は802.11nだったが、2010年からは802.11bでの出荷が始まるだろう。
米国調査会社インスタット社の調査レポート「Wi-Fi対応エンターテインメント機器市場調査:市場概況、主要関連企業、市場シェア ー Wi-Fi in Entertainment Devices: Wi-Fi Becomes the Multimedia Interface of Choice」は、世界のWi-Fi機能搭載のエンターテインメントデバイスの市場を調査している。エンターテインメントデバイスのWi-Fi市場の分析、市場牽引要因と阻害要因、ゲーム機市場の市場シェア、2013年までの世界のWLANチップセットの出荷数と収益の予測、Microsoft、任天堂、ソニー、Apple、SanDisk、ニコン、パナソニックなどの主要企業のプロフィールなどを記載している。
