The Wii is different enough, to not really be in competition with the 360/PS3 - and Im serious about this. The only real war is between the 360 / PS3, and it may well end up in a tie - simply because MS has enough money to keep throwing at the 360 to ensure it doesn't end up as a least dominant console. I wouldn't worry about crappy multiplatform titles - what I believe will happen, is that a game will be designed for one of the consoles (i.e. 360), released - then a PS3 version developed and released later (or visa-versa). I actually think this is a good thing - as it discourages platform holders from buying up all the studios (rather they just buy shares in them - and get more profits due to multiplatform development). This is also a positive - as it starts to lead towards a scenario where MS, Sony & Nintendo WORK TOGETHER. Hardware competition is bad for profitability - Im hopeful oneday we'll see a joint console developed and released. Nintendo probably won't have any part in this, but even that could change. PS - congrats to everyone for actually having a real & thoughtful discussion on this ;) To sum up - I think the console space is going to get more fragmented over time - not less. The PS2 will be around for a while, and we may see a new wave of devices (that can play older software) before it dies at all. Whether this leads the platform holders to eventually work together, who knows...
