PS3 has pretty much packed it in I think. The Move as I expected, had a very minimal impact on sales, and Sony has used up most of their cards. MS can milk the 360 a little longer, despite being a year older, with the new console model, Halo Reach, and Kinect. While I don't think Kinect will have a lasting impact either, it will provide a much bigger initial spike in hardware than Move.
Wii is entering the final weeks of its lull until starting to pick up for the holdiay season and the onslaught of Wii titles for Q4, with Kirby, Goldeneye, Wii Party, Just Dance 2, Epic Mickey, DKC, Carnival Games 2, NBA Jam, etc. Wii has suffered this year having to rely almost entirely on the continued lift of NSMB, considering it basically had no hardware movers this year. While Wii will definitly have huge sales again this holiday, I think it is starting to age, and will be in pretty steady decline after the holiday. Though at the same time, I honestly don't see the HD consoles lasting too far beyond the typical 5-6 year cycle either, especially if Move and Kinect are flops like I expect.

You heard it here first folks, a $299 console with GT5 to arrive in November is dead, dead I tell you.

really? what about next year with possibly a $199 console? i dont have that shit in the sig for nothing 
i see wii sales picking up a bit after this so call lull but not by much, Leo-J might regain his status after losing PS3>120k and GTA4 killing the wii and whatever else he failed with so good for him
agreed about the wii in steady decline for 2011 dont think it will take the top spot next year for total WW sales either

It could, but it depends entirely on Nintendo. If they go sit back and allow Wii to go through another 9 month dry period like this year, (in which its biggest two titles were a Mario Galaxy Sequel and a weird Metroid spinoff with little appeal) then Wii will be in major trouble, but if Vitality Sensor takes off, and Nintendo keeps a steady stream of games that people will want to buy, who knows, Wii could continue to go strong, perhaps even stronger than this year.
People seem to think PS3 is guarenteed to carry on strong for years and Wii is guarenteed to fall very soon, but at the end of the day it'll all boil down to the games.
