I agree. It doesn't have the casual appeal to reach Wii levels, and it doesn't have the core appeal to reach PS3/360 levels. But it does have more appeal than the Gamecube IMO so it should definitely sell a healthy amount for a 3rd place console.

?!  who says it'll be 3rd place, we have no idea what Sony and MS are going to unveil at e3.  It may very well be, but we don't know.

Assuming this prediction is true, it would end up being 3rd.....no way a console can be 1st with only 40m sales.
