The PS1 got off to a slow start, I think, before overwhelming the competition. But it's hard to imagine any single console dominating this time around. Reason: the game market is no longer a single market, it's hugely diverse. Casual/social gamers will buy the Wii/PS2, hardcore gamers will buy the 360/PS3, media connoisseurs will probably buy PS3s... this is even true in portables, where the PSP and NDS serve two very different markets. Meanwhile, much of the world will be playing games on cellphones... It's the same thing with cars, the days of the Model-T are done, nowadays some people want that trusty Camry, others want the styling BMW. Which is good for the industry and good for gamers -- more choices for all. Instead of an overall number one this time, we're likely to have specific markets where one platform or another does better than the others.
