honestly I think Microsoft because it can capture both casual and hardcore. Also withthe 360's huge name in america, then again Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, and a lot more 1st party games coming with HD that can also get hardcore games now, and it also has Nintendo Network which bridges the online community as well making it the most complete Nintendo Home Console. Then there is Sony who is in trouble financially but lets not forget that they have the best hardcore lineup. However since Microsoft has really taken a hold of America I believe it will beat out sony again. But I'm not going to pull off a pachter because he is always wrong, what I'm going to say is, let's wait until we actually see the consoles and prices before making a decision. Last gen the PS2 sold 150 mil and ps3 has sold 60 mil so far. XBOX was at 24 and now 360 is at 64 mil and gamecube at 21 mil where as wii is at 95 mil. You cant predict this kind of stuff because there will be a lot of surprises. If I was going off the info I have today then Microsoft, Nintendo, then sony because Microsoft continues to grow each gen just like 360 does better each year. Nintendo because 95 mil people has now witnessed mario, zelda, donkey kong, wii fit, wii sports, etc. Although they will lose a lot of the user base they will also gain a new userbase with the tablet and a better core. Sony last because where they are financially and they have yet to produce a massive game on the PS3 besides Uncharted. Like I said, let's wait until we hear info on each console because our predictions will likely change then. Right now people are just basing it off of them being a fan of a specific system instead of statistics which has tarnished this website imo
