I thought I had seen the last of these threads. Guess I was wrong. At this point in time, I wonder about the sanity of anyone that thinks the Wii won't finish in first place. It's outselling both HD consoles combined while being supply constrained and having no price cut.
The race for second is still up in the air. I still think the 360 takes second. With currency issues restricting Sony, my view on the second place race is further solidified. If Sony can't find a way to cut the price in the first quarter of next year, they are going to have a hard time catching the 360.
As for anyone still going for the 10 years life cycle nonsense, I hate to break it to you but it isn't happening. The PS1 and PS2 were very successful, the PS3 is not. Once the PS4 launches in the 2011/12 time frame, PS3 support will dry up faster than a drop of water in the desert.
