2007 is now settled - will 2008 be any different?

Companies are investing more money into home console game development than ever before. There is some competition like I said, but amongst home consoles there's far more direct competition.

Well, perhaps our views are merely a matter of degrees than differences of kind. While you "admit" that there is some competition I think that the competition is actually more fierce. With assets being re-used from the last two generations for the current handhelds I see the competition becoming greater and the lines between the types of games that are "achievable" (whatever that means) starting to co-mingle. To be clear, I think that the handheld/console dichotomy is at an end.

I agree with this, but with one distinction, I think it has evolved rather then dissappeared.  The differences still exist but they are less than ever before and will likely continue to diminish.
