I don't own any of these consoles. I'm not even much of a game player in general (though i own a few PC games), and thus i almost surely will not ever buy any of them - so i can't be considered a fanboy. And despite the fact that i favor "hardcore" gaming titles, i've been betting on the Wii.
One of the things that has been touched upon here is the amount of money that nintendo makes with each sale of a Wii. This is what finally convinced me that it was going to dominate the market. Is Sony still losing money on every sale of the PS3? How about the XBox 360? How much longer can they keep that up?
When i was making bets with some of my employees, i was suggesting that the Wii would be the most successful. Success could be measured in a variety of ways - but regardless of the number of consoles sold, by profitability standards the Wii must WAY ahead of the other two. I'm sure that MS and Sony have money to burn, but it seems to me that Nintendo has at least one huge advantage - it's easy to justify increasing your marketing budget and increasing your development budget when you're making ridiculous money!
