See for yourself:
Generation 5 had five main competitors: Atari Jaguar, 3D0, Playstation, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64.
Generation 6 had four entries: Dreamcast, Playstation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.
Generation 7 currently has three consoles: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii.
It looks like we will end up with only two consoles in the next generation and my guess will be: Wii 2 and Nextbox with Sony taking sometime off and will probably simply shuffle the PS3 into a slimmer model. The decrease in the number of consoles is probably due to skyrocketing cost of participating in the console race -- we are talking billions of dollars with a very high risk of big losses.
