You think they'll be first next gen eh? Well that's certainly possible considering I know nothing about the prospects for the next gen. But I wouldn't count out Nintendo so easily, usually consoles going in with momentum have to do something specifically to screw it up, or the competition has to do something amazing. I'm not so sure either will happen next gen, but perhaps the next one after that since that seems to be the common trend.
I don't see how MS could disrupt Ninty or how Nintendo could screw up so that the 1st spot could be open next gen though.
I have no illusions that Sony will win next gen, I think they'll start selling the PS4 at a profit from the get go and have a moderate success such as the Gamecube, nowhere near it's competitor but still making money and keeping their loyal fanbase happy with first party titles and a few 3rd parties. and then we'll see after that.
