I see both the PS4 and Nextbox stumbling out of the gate. Highly priced powerful consoles aren't going to sell when there are next to no exclusive games for them. If you paid attention a few days ago, you will have noticed that third parties will make multiplatform games for seventh and eighth generation consoles, meaning there will be almost no incentive to buy PS4s and Nextboxes during their first year on the market.
Meanwhile, the Wii U is going to look more attractive come November. It will cost less and offer more exclusive software. However, third party support might once again not arrive and the Wii U beating the PS4 and Nextbox for a year or two will easily be offset by longer tails for these consoles due to superior third party support.
From what I know of all consoles so far, I don't see any real winner, because they are all taking a dangerous direction. High costs coupled with slow sales are a dangerous combination for profitability.
On a final note, I'd like to call myself pretty amazing. Here's your thread for handheld predictions:

To be fair, that was before the FUD price cut Nintendo pulled. I would have never thought they would have dropped the price by $80 in just four months from release. If they had stayed the same price, I imagine they would have both performed similarly.
For your previous comment, you don't think EU is pretty loyal to Sony? Even with all of those disadvantages, the PS3 has such a large lead over the 360. It took only 2 1/2 years for the PS2 to make up for and overtake a 2.72M deficit in EU. That's some loyalty. I also don't see how your percentages mean anything, as the PS4 will have none of the disadvantages the PS3 had against the NeXbox. You don't think that will have any bearing on the PS4's performance? Or are you just hoping it doesn't.
