I agree with davygee. I think the Wii is going to last three years. With an uber WiiHD coming out just in time to get ahead of the next console war. And since it will be a few years into the whole HD phenomenom I bet it will get released it $250 US. And by then you will be able to pick up regular Wii for around $150.Â
I love my Wii but I will love it more as WiiHD. The trick was to get everyone sold on the concept and then make everyone buy a new version later in it's life. Just like the GameBoy and DS/DS Lite.
And some of these numbers for console sales are bleek. I do think the XBOX 360 can eclipse 20 million in sales. Especially with Halo3, GOW2, and GTA4 all coming soon!Â
And I also predict that Microsoft will do away with the XBOX live subscription fee. That alone would be a huge move and be welcomed by people like me who just don't want to pay for something like that. And it would give one less argument to why NOT buy an XBOX360. I would seriously consider it. Otherwise I would just buy a PS3 and recoup my costs in about two years of LIVE fees. Duh.
