3rd in USA =/= 3rd WW     The former is quite likely, although not sure, while the latter is quite unlikely, although not impossible.

3rd in USA and 2nd WW is currently the most likely thing to happen.

Yes, it will sell 150 million units, overtake the Wii and "THE CELL" will end world hunger, bring world peace and restore balance to the universe.

I both 2nd, and 3rd this post.

Entirely new games on the Wii? LMAO! Why don't we take a little look at the highest rated games on the system, shall we?

Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Wii, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, etc. It's all the same as last generation and you know it. In fact, many of the games such as Resident Evil 4 and Okami ARE the same games from last generation. Aside from the occasional "Wii" game, there really isn't anything that could be called an "entirely new game".

@TWRoO: LOL!

Soo, what about MGS4, Halo 3, GTAIV, Devil May Cry 4 and the upcoming RE 5 and FF 13?

Sure thing.

Anything is possible.

Seeing as how people are comparing Forza with Gran Turismo.

Sony should worry about making a profit of from the PS3, Instead worrying about being 2nd-Runner up

(Wii being #1 of course).

Hey, Halo has still a lot in store for new original chapters: for example people are eagerly awaiting for the lost Village People member (yep, Master Chief) to come out!  

If they were available for public release, I would do that but we don't have an official spec sheet on Wii becaue Nintnedo never provided one.  All the specs we see about the CPU and GPU are just assumptions (well ground assumptiosn but still not officially known).

Besides, it's blatantly obvious the Wii was not developed to compete graphically with the X360 and PS3 but as we've discussed that is not the metric that qualifies inclusion in a generation.

However, there are many technical aspects about the Wii that are highly advanced from the 6th generation.

1. 90 nm chipset.  (All 3 last gen consoles were 180 nm...I'm sure you know smaller is better)
2. Built in 802.11 b/g Wifi. (Nothing had built in Wifi last gen and X360 doesn't even have it now)
3. Multi-dimensional slot loading disc drive. (All 3 last gen were eitehr tray or top loading and the Wii is one of the only slot drives in the world that accepts 2 disc sizes).
4. SD cards. (none of the 3 consoles last generation supported them)
5. Utilizes both 1T-SRAM and GDDR3 RAM.....GDDR3 is the same RAM used in the fastest nVidia graphics cards. (The Xbox used standard DDR RAM and the PS2 used old RDRAM)
6. Power consumption reduced to 18 watts on and 1.3 watts in standby with WiiConnect24 off and 9.6 watts with it on. (PS2 - 45 watts | Xbox - 100 watts)
7. WiiConnect24 allows updates and data transfer from standby mode. (Xbox had to on and logged on to Live to update anything)

And that's not even touching the controller technology.   The Wii's technological advancements didn't go towards graphics and pure processing speed but efficienty and input methods.   It's actually a high advanced peice fo technology, it's just not advanced in the same direction as PS3/X360 but on the other side of that same token, the PS3/X360 are not advanced as Wii in its directions.
