in terms of software, there's no competition...sony will dominate again (though honourable mention to the 360 for mass effect 2, alan wake and star ocean...even if 1 of them is on pc, and another will end up on pc).

Full 1080p TV + ps3 = win.
- awesome future exclusives (killzone 2, FFXIIIvs, god of war 3, gran turismo 5, uncharted 2, ratchet and clank future 2, heavy rain, infamous, WKC + psn exclusives). Really, as much as I like the 360's lineup (it's way more appealing than their 2008 lineup) there's no denying that the ps3 takes the cake in 2009 as in 2008.
- awesome 3rd party support: SFIV, tekken 6, RE5, COD4:MW2, prototype, bioshock 2, and likely much much more...
- free online
- blu-ray!!! feel like watching a movie? put in a blu-ray disc and enjoy full HD sound and visuals!

PS3 wins hand down. 360 comes in second place (close or distant 2nd place pending on what eventuates in 2009), and obviously the wii comes dead last again.

As much as we all love to talk about sales, we're consumers and thus, our first and foremost priority is to be entertained and the ps3 will deliever in spades, and then some. However, on the sales side? sony will probably close the gap between the 360, but how much is anyone's guess. Sony doesn't really need a price cut, so what if the 360 has sold more? it's also over a year older and alot cheaper. I'd much rather see sony make a profit/or lose less on every ps3 sold than price cut it and lose more money. 19 million is already a pretty solid foundation for the type of console it is. The wii will continue to dominate in the sales but more importantly, nintendo actually may offer a game worth playing on their console since mario galaxy/smash brawl. Wii owners' might actually have something to play this x-mas (shock horror).

That's my thoughts. ps3 will dominate in games (again). wii will dominate in sales (again). 360 will come in 2nd place (in games), and the ps3 will close the gap on the 360 in sales. Everyone will be happy, but ps3 owners will be the happiest wheras the wii owners be the least as they realize that their wii was made for playing games (uh-hah!!)^^
