I don't think this gen is comparable to anything, this is the first time there has been 3 consoles that are surviving just fine, this is the first time they have taken such vastly different approaches to the market, this is the first time 3rd parties bet on the wrong horse from the get go, this is the first time there has been such a large technology gap between the market leader and their competitors, this is the first time things have been in the position that they are now.
We can all look to the past and draw our parallel lines like we're palm reading and looking to the past as an oracle, but this is uncharted water. Odds are assumptions made based on the past generations will have only limited use in this new climate. All the arguments presented by legend and GGE ect, are great, but are largely inapplicable to what's going on now. The differences are too great compared to previous gens. We can take stabs in the dark (even if we think we can see) but I bet there will be alot of surprises along the way, and things will probably turn out alot different than we all expect.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
