That is a very quick overview. It is impossibly to say who will do best out of the three. This generation of consoles is spectacularly good at making analyst’s predictions look stupid. One major change that has emerged is that Microsoft are now a player at the top table in the console industry. Just watching how they use this new found position will be fascinating.

Hardware sales? Nintendo.

Software sales? Nintendo.

Marketshare? Nintendo.

Profits? Nintendo.

That actually isn't hard to predict, let alone impossible. Besides that, you are making a lot of mistakes in your analysis (Wii is a fad, SSBB and Mario Kart don't seem to exist, HD is important). But maybe that's the reason how you came to the conclusion that it is hard to predict who will do best out of the three.

Oh, and welcome to VGChartz.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I am not a fanboy for any manufacturer. I doubt your predictions for 2008 because of GTA IV, MGS4, Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden II, Too Human, Fable 2, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, etc. There are just too many AAA must have, mega selling titles coming out on 360 and PS3. Also Wii has been bought mainly by casual gamers and will have a low attach rate compared with the more hardcore owners of 360s and PS3s who buy far more games. However anything can and will happen in this generation, so you may well end up being right!!

 So?... Why is Super Mario Galaxy at 4 million+ in a mere 2 months already?... And btw, i wouldn't call RE4 or Zelda casual, Re4 now has 1.3 milllion sold and climbing and Zelda is stuck at 4 million something for the Wii version and 5.5 million something for Wii and Cube combined... Those aren't bad attachratio's i guess 

Super Mario Galaxy above 4 million with 19.5 million Wii's = above 20%.

Zelda at 4+ million with 19.5 million Wii's = above 20 %.

1.3 million RE4 with 19.5 million Wii's sold = ~7%.

 

For comparison:

Gears of War: Around 4 million sold at 16 mil X360 sold: 25%.

And the only thing that sold better then GoW is Halo 3... The rest (of X360's AAA titles) has an attach-rate comparable with that of RE4.
