Variables Still Playing Out:
- When Nintendo cuts the Wii price for the first time.
- If Microsoft brands Natal as new system
- How much money Sony loses on PS3
- Whether Wii-HD is real or just Pachter speculation
- PSP Go success at $250
- Timing of DS 2/PSP 2 - both systems are semi-ancient tech now but perform quite well (especially DS).
- Introduction of "player's choice titles" for Wii/DS
- Digital Distribution
- Apple
