"it was only when Wii emerged that video gaming truly took off"

for the statement about the Wii to be true the guy is ignoring 25 plus years of video game history. the Atari 2600 was the first console that everybody wanted in their homes and it eventually sold 30 million. After the Video game crash left most of the previous companies completely dead or struggling Nintendo saved videogaming with the NES. The NES went on to sell sixty million units worldwide. The Next big Innovation came with games like Sega's Virtual Fighter which was a 3D game. Sega Ignored this innovation and Sony didn't and we all know what happened. The Saturn failed to compete seriously with the Playstation that went on to sell over 100 million units. Sega and Sony were also the first ones out of the gate for the sixth generation. While Sega had some major innovations it lacked a DVD player and serious support. This Lack of Support eventually led to Sega Dropping its console buisnees. On the otherhand Sony with their DVD playing PS2 had a lot of support from Developers. while being innovative in its own right the PS2 has gone on to sell close to 120 million units and it is stil selling pretty strong. Games for the PS2 will probably be coming out for the next year or two the system could still be selling strongly in the next 2-5 years with innovations similiar to the PSone. While the Wii is dominating the market now we are still early in the next generation which could last another eight to ten years. In those years a lot can happen either way so it is to early to be making decisions whether your a Sony Fan, Microsoft Fan, or Nintendo Fan. Whatever happens in this current generation every one should come out a winner in some way

Genesis and SNES say hi, and also Star Fox which was 3D. 
Sega did NOT "ignore" 3D to my knowledge, there are plenty of other reasons the Saturn did not do well. 

Oh, you mean like the Slim?  2 years is a possibility; 5 is not.  3 years is extremely unlikely; 1 year is most probable.
