They really don't matter IF your console of choice reaches a certain sales threshold. For example, I am a 360 owner, and I really don't care if at some point the PS3 passes it up in sales this gen. The user base is now 30 million and still growing (and selling well) so there is really no way the development community is going to abandon the platform if it eventually finds itself in third place. In fact, all three current gen systems are in good position to enjoy full support for the rest of the generation. Nobody really needs to worry about anything and that's really cool.

Oddly enough, the one platform that is a little worrisome in my eyes is the Wii. The Wii is capable of moving crazy amounts of software, but recent numbers have shown that it's only if it's certain KINDS of software. The hardcore gamer should be worrying about continuing hardcore software support for the Wii, the casual gamer should have no fear.
