Why do you think the pattern of this console war will be drastically different than every one that came before it?
There are variations and people can argue about exceptions but the general patter of the console wars (including handhelds) is:
- System begins selling rapidly
- Passes the sales of the competition
- Gains third party support
- Sales continue at (or accelerate to) a near record pace
- Third parties focus on the system and ignore the competition
- Sales of competition falls off
