Surely being last doesn't stop you from enjoying the games :p This gen in particular seem to have no loser thus far when it comes to quality games

 

No, but as a veteran of the N64 and Gamecube days I know that low units sold= less 3rd party games. And I like my third party games...

Although I'll drink to your last sentence. Here's hoping it keeps up!

 

The difference is that N64 has shared really few software with other console, the PS3 will share alot of software that will be available on 360 because developing cost on HD is high so Publishers see PS3+Xbox360 like one single userbase.

I don't really think the "battle" for the second position si relevant cause IMO 360 and PS3 will be virtually tied in the end, one will sell a little better but like the Snes/Genesis "battle" it  will be a phyrric victory.

IMO both Sony and MS are unlikely to  recoup the investment they made on their respective console and Nintendo will gain the major benefit from the current generation.

To me the real battle is about the two different business models/set of values keep on by MS/Sony and Nintendo.
