I agree with the sales estimates for this year. However, I don't agree with the ps3 eventually overtaking the 360, at least not yet. It all depends on what happens next fall. The 360 has a potential game changer on their hands with natal. However, it is too early to predict how much support it will get, so thats why I say it is still too early to declare who wins.

I give Natal only 25% chance to become a game changer - which actually translates into a clear statement (prediction) that Natal won't increase sales enough to overtake the PS3. I do think Natal willl be moderatley successful though, but most important the tech will carry over to the next gen. And btw remember, Sony has their wand tech too.

 

Yes, but how much hype have you seen for the sony wand in the media?  Almost none outside of gaming sites.  While Natal has made huge rounds and built up huge hype.  Of course, it could fall flat, but I would say it has a much larger chance of taking off than sony's wand.
