I feel this gen will end as follows:

In Ranks:

1. Nintendo Wii --180 Million--- Ninty back on top with the Wii

2. Sony Playstation 3 --80 Million---Some people may say a bit too high but this will come due a VERY LONg lifespan

3. Microsoft Xbox 360 --40 million---No comments

 Tech doesn't denote lifespan, games does, PS3 will not have a long lifespan due to its low games support, it will last only about as long as the 360

 

One thing about WiiHD:

Nintendo always was top of the bill, technically.
SNES>Mega Drive
N64>>>>>PS1
Gamecube>>PS2 and in some ways beat the Xbox

Wii is a way to break out of the competition, which was necessary since Nintendo lost it a bit last gen, but I'm quite sure that Nintendo wants to have the best console, so that means also in horsepower. Especially with the enormous amount of money they're making they can develop a brilliant machine when the mass market is ready for HD.

 

Actually you are incorrect, NES was less powerful than the gaming PC's it launched against, remember, gaming was not dead, it had merely moved to PC's SNES was less powerful than the NEO GEO
