What is the point of betting something, when you won't know the result until about 10 years later?  I don't think either of us really knows what we'll be doing in 10 years.  If you want to bet, let's wait for them to reveal their consoles, and then we'll see if we can come up with a bet that can resolved in the next year or two.

I'm willing to commit to the bet now because that's how certain I am in the outcome. This gen is looking like it'll settle with around 190 million PS/Xbox systems sold. That total is NOT going to drop by 60 million next gen because of Switch.

It's not about the certainty of the outcome.  It's more about that I doubt we will both be on this forum 10 years from now.  I've never stayed on any internet forum that long, and in fact I don't even know if this forum will be live 10 years from now.  The issue is not who is right, but that the winner probably won't be able to collect in any practical way.

Can we come up with a similar bet that can be settled in a year or two?
