reverie on 19 April 2007
Sony and Microsoft are reenacting the Thirty Years' War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War), though I do hope that it will be over in not 30, but 3 years. They will leave lots of scortched earth, and I think the winners will be Nintendo for Games and Apple for Digital Download. I predict that the Apple TV will sell 4-6 million units this year and 50 % more next year. That will bury any dreams for MS to dominate the digital living room and ultimately kill the 360 unless it can survive on game sales alone, which I think it can't.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
