You say it as if HD consoles are just high definition, its not HD gaming I would call it TRUE GAMING. I do agree that the danger is not the xbox but the nintendo wii. Its made a 10M lead over sony, and still outselling the ps3. This is bad for sony, it just goes to show you if you have a console at $249 ccheaper than the rest with mario it will sell.
2008 end of year predictions:
PS3: 22M
360: 25M
wii: 40M
