Ok, basically I'm curious as to people's end of generation state of the industry predictions.

 

I am going on record saying the following (by the time all three consoles stop selling)

 

* The Wii will end on more than 50% marketshare Likely

* The PS3 and 360 will end on similar hardware sales (within about 10 million of each other) Very Likely

* By the end of the generation, the majority of big budget 3rd party releases will be on the Wii (not neccassarily Wii exclusive) Doubt it

* Nintendo will be last to release an 8th gen home console, or approximately equal last (ie within a month of a competitor)
If so then I expect SONY's console to be withen 2 months b4 the next Nintendo Unit. If not then I expect SONY to be last within a few months of the 2nd.

* All home consoles will be released in their first region within 13 months of each other Likely

* The Wii will be on sale in Japan, USA, and Western Europe until later than the PS360 Slithtly doubt that. I think SONY wants to keep the PS3 selling as much as possible. Quite possible that both the Wii and PS3 will last quite some time.

* The 360 will sell more software than the PS3, and will have the highest attach ratio of any console ever Both Likely

* The PS4, Wii2 and Xbox 720 will all exist, though possibly with better names :P Without a doubt in my mind

* The DS2 and PSP2 will exist. Once again, maybe different names Also sure of this

* An xbox portable will not be released in the 8th gen Me no care

 

If you doubt any of these predictions, I'd like to hear it. Provide an explanation of why you believe this if you wish, but I would rather this stay as a sales prediction thread than a 'which is the best console' thread


Just my thoughts.
