Sorry johnlucas, but 20. (predict league entry) Playstation 3 in best case scenario will just make the 7 million mark of worldwide sales by end of 2007. SUCCESS should read FAILED. Even if the PS3 doesn't break 8 million it is already 3/4 of the way there from 7 million -- not "just" past the 7 million mark by any measure. On another note -- with all due respect to the Wii (which is a lot), it IS an unusually (relatively) underpowered machine, so I wouldn't bet on an unusually extended lifespan. (But I wouldn't bet on a short one either!) As for the DS, I don't think there really IS a normal handheld life-cycle. I would guess that Nintendo will take their sweet time developing their next handheld unless they have to respond to outside pressure (i.e. Sony). Finally, a question regarding your PS3 DEATH prediction (#14): Do you mean it'll have ceased production by then, or be discontinued at most major retailers, or have no more major games, or what? Console deaths are often quite messy and can be pretty drawn-out so please precisely define your cutoff. [edit: Oops, just noticed how old the thread is -- I doubt john'll spot this reply. Oh well.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
