I hope there is a new entrant to avoid more of the samesville next generation.  Nintendo offers the console experience most radically different than the previous generation (ironically the console itself is the most similar).  A lot the games Nintendo develops are strikingly similar to last gen (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart, Smash Bros etc.) in their game play, and many are not much different than they were on N64.  Microsoft and Sony offer more of the same as well, but are now trying to play catch up to Nintendo on motion controls.  Who would be best?

S  E  G  A!!!

SEGA! Definitely

None its crowded enough

SEGA!

we really don't need a 4th console but I'm interested to see what apple can come up with

Yep, three is enough. If I had to pick one though, it'd be Sega. Apple is even greedier than MS, and I'm not sure I like Google either. Sega >>> Google > Apple.

Atari.

NEC
