Who are you responding to? The OP just stated who won and then asked if we thoguht MS would win. There wasn't a theory or predictions or anything in his post.
Anyways, I don't think MS will win one. Nintendo has their head on right. Its hard to get into video games. I have a little brother and he totally sucks at controlling characters. Maybe its because he's only in like 3rd grade, but he has major issue with just moving people around.
And he's a little kid. Kids pick things up really fast. Now, by the time he's in like 6th grade he'll probably be better at games than I am. But thats because he's a kid and he's going to force himself to get better. Adults aren't like that. If they don't get it, they figure that its not for them and they'll put it down and never touch it again.
The Wii doesn't have that issue by default. My sister and step mom play the Wii all the time. If you want to play a baseball game, you swing it like a bat. You want to play a tennis game, you swing it like a tennis racket. That makes sense.
Sony won it when nobody was making easy to use video game systems anymore. Nintendo was winning gens when every system was easy to use. Now that Nintendo has refocused on easy to use, I don't think they'll be removing the crown any time soon.
Especially not if third party support jumps up and you start seeing some serious games for the Wii. The Wii is going to be like the NES for many people. Mario and Duck Hunt will get you into liking video games, then the SNES comes out, introduces you to tons of new genres and deeper gameplay. Now you love video games. For the most part Nintendo has created a whole new audience thats radically different than who the Sony and MS are going after.
It will be hard for MS or Sony to tap into that audience. Especially if controllers just get more and more advanced and their idea of motion control is to make you swirld to analog sticks while pressing 4 face buttons, 4 shoulders buttons all while moving your controller around in the air. Thats like rocket science. Only little kids and experienced gamers are gonna be willing to learn that.
