I'm for Sony, but I'm thankful for Microsoft and Nintendo because they will keep Sony honest. Monopolies are very bad and would only lead to crap. That being said, I think it's foolish to believe that Sony will not win this current war unless something ridiculous happens. The 360 is number one because it came out first: period. It will never be seen as a console that can sell well outside of America. The Wii is popular (now) because it's the cheapest: period. I don't even think it's supposed innovations would save it if it costed over $400. Sony massive 1st party and 3rd party support will win out, and I predict an acceleration of sales this year that will bring it within striking distance of first place by January '08. If the Blu-Ray technology tanked, then that would have been nasty, considering that is why the PS3 costs so much. But it hasn't, and soon PS3 owners will view their Blu-Ray player as a wise investment. 12
