Threads like this make me smile, some people take these things way too seriously.
For what it's worth, my view is that the Wii is the runaway PS2 style winner of this gen no doubt. 2nd place is too early to tell. We're in the aftermath of a big drop in price for the 360 and so the sales are up and PS3 sales are down a bit.
However, from what I've seen so far the 360 isn't vastly outselling the PS3 despite being much, much cheaper. All we need is for Sony to drop the price and I'm sure the PS3 will be outselling the 360 again, or maybe just give it a few weeks and the 360 sales will be back to where they were before the price cut.
By mid 2009 things will be clearer as far as 2nd place is concerned.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
