I agree with the following predictions:
Market leaders this generation
Wii - Too big, too long to be a fad. Hasn't met demand yet, much less needed a price drop to move its produce.
PS3 - Will come in second. A bit dazed that it lost its leadership, but happy that Bluray is established and raking in the coin.
X360 - Third. But apparently happy that it probably will be profitable.

Out with the next generation.
MS first again. Tho considering the knock that RROD hit them with, the quality should be better. Some what cheaper, learning from the Wii example.
Wii second. But I agree that the Wii itself could gone on for a bit, like GBA did with DS, and PS2 is doing for the PS3. The point is you don't scrap a winner when it is still bringing in the money.
Sony third. I wonder what they will have learned from the Wii's success?

One area not mentioned in any prediction here is a very good size market that isn't being tapped yet. Namely, India and China. The first company that can successfully break into the upper middle class, who have the money for these 'toys', will add a lot of customers.

 You say you don't scrap a winner but then you say Wii will be out second, sorry does not compute, if anything the Wii winning will lead Nintendo to be the last out next gen

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
