I see the 720 being 1st or 2nd, Nintendo will find a way to recover before launch and secure either 1st or 2nd. PS4 will come in 3rd, with a smaller market needing a combo system (like Wii owners owning a PS3)combined with a higher price tag as Sony is known for.

Oh look, another person who is opposed to facing the reality that is the low sales of Wii U. In a few years, I'll return to laugh at this post.

Please do. Recent history has proven a similar trend. The 3DS got off to a subpar start, and if I remember, even the DS took a while to ramp up. I don't recall the 3DS having a good first 6 months, and everyone said it was dead in the water too. History tends to repeat itself.

History is meaningless in the console industry. The Nintendo Wii proved that, the Xbox 360 proved that, the PS3 proved that. Your "history" is nothing but cherry picking and wishful thinking.

By the way, the DS/3DS never dropped to 50k per week in year 1.

History has relevance everywhere it is applied. To disregard it is to remain blind and ignorant.

Yes because history has been an accurate predictor of future generational success, right?

PS3 sold gangbusters (not Wii)

Xbox360 sold 1/8th PS3

Wii sold 1/8th PS3

Right? That's what happened right? What, you mean that last generation (PS2 155+m, Xbox - 24m, Gamecube - 20m) didn't repeat? Shocking.

Bunk logic is bunk.

Each generation has trends and factors can can be applied to future gens.....
