HD consoles are doing fine right now and will continue to be ahead of the Wii in sales for the entire generation. I just think GTA4 will be a a big reason for focus being removed from Wii. This would have happened this october had the game been released. If MGS4, Splinter Cell Conviction, Burnout Paradise, Killzone 2, and GTA4 would have all been out for this winter it would be a lot differant picture.

You could be right, anything is possible, but when you have the 2 highest selling Franchises (GTA, Gran Turismo) of last generation coming out on the undisputed winning brand of the last gen, with a then competitive price, I find this hard to believe.

Also I don't understand this love for SSBB. I think it was a great game on the cube, but it does nothing speacial on the Wii. Their are plenty of games that are out or are coming out that actually use the Wii Mote that are way better. It just makes no sense to me that people are so hyped about a game on the Wii that is said to be unplayable with the Wii Mote when it is the only reason for the Wii.

Can we give out bans for stupid posts please? This one would sure receive one...

First thing: HD consoles are not ahead of the Wii and there is no prove that this will happen.

Remember transition from SNES to N64? Mario was in its own league and franchises like Zelda, Donkey Kong and Mario Kart slammed the concurrence. Did it matter? Not much, these games kept selling well, but the N64 still had no chance against the PS2.
And a competitive price is 250 $ and below, I'm sure PS3 will still cost more when GTA4 arrives.

That sentence about SSBB almost makes me angry, really. The Wii is a console after all, it does not matter if you use the Wiimote or not, games can be great. Why should a game that was great last gen be bad this gen only because it does not use motion control? That's like saying all PS3 and 360 games are bad just because they are not on the Wii!

The N64 wasn't up against the PS2, it was up against the PS1. And besides, the N64 cost alot less than the PS1 did and still had no chance, so price doesn't always constitute success. 

The transition from PS1 to PS2 was smooth, and franchises that fared well on the PS1 did just as well on the PS2, so theres no reason to believe this isnt going to be the case when GTA launches on the 360/PS3.
