Microsoft and Sony foolishly chose naive disruption tactics this eara that without Nintendo would have almost assuredly destroyed the market. As much as I love my 360, I'm not going to deny it.
The x-factor now is developers and what they decide to do. I think most are just as confused as some consumers and their bazaar strategies for this generation seem to show it quite clearly.

Things that have changed since the last Generation of Gaming:
- Nintendo has shown us you can have the best selling console of all time with virtually no games for it.
- Graphics suddenly matter to Sony fans but Reverse Compatibility and Dual shock oddly enough don’t.
- Kiddy Crap is trendy with Hardcore gamers now that it’s no longer Nintendo’s “thing” (Viva Piñata, Little Big Planet, Banjo Kazooie 3, LBP)
- Third Party Developers are now essentially the equivalent of Video Game street pimps.
- Gimmicks are no longer fads (Wii-mote)... Well, not all Gimmicks (PS-Eye)
