my predictions: the wii will outsell 360 and ps3 for 2007 and 2008. In japan, it will go on to meet DS standards and break all record for a home console. x360 will be on xbox level, may be higher thanks to a lot of support ($$$$$$) by MS. PS3 will be a niche product selling like GC, appealing to hard core gamers only. In europe, the wii will be way ahead thx to a large grab of lapsed gamers (like me), casual and nintendo fanboys. x360 and ps3 will be neck to neck, ps3 appealing more but being way too expensive. In the US, the wii will be slightly ahead of the PS3 and the 360. Much closer race than any other territory cuz americans have more money to buy the PS3 than europeans and the hardcore gamers are more numerous. after 2009, it will probably evolve quite differently since i believe HD will be much more common and wii will need an upgrade sooner than the others. i do see the PS3 having the longest lifeline but note enough to recover from its terrible start.
