Its only a matter of time, I predict my biggest and best prediction yet.
The trifecta of SSSB, Mario Kart Wii & Wii-Fit, will kill the PS3, and sales WW will drop for the system down to the levels it’s been currently selling at in it’s homeland of Japan for months. The 360 will benefit from it’s EXCLUSIVE GTA4 DL content and make a huge comeback and likely outsell the PS3 World Wide (with the exception of Japan where both HD console will continue to suffer) as for the PS3 I will say it will fall back under the 360 and probably match GC sales world wide.
This all comes with this:The Wii is the fastest selling console ever made, and with the trifecta they are reaching all parts of the big blue ocean strategy. There are big games for hardcores, casuals, and Oprah Viewers. That and the fact that the game that made the ps2,GTA, is now no longer Sony exclusive but multi platform with the most content on a MICROSOFT owned console.
The PS3 is a great console and an even better BluRay player, but not one that deserves sales, I am expecting that SSSB, MKWii, Wii Fit on the Wii along with the 360 having the best GTA4 content will bring the Wii up even higher than the current rate of fastest selling console ever made, and bring the 360 much higher than halo 3 achieved.
This is my prediction, SSSB, Wii Fit & MKWii will kill the PS3.
EDIT: The above post was posted last night as a parody to this thread:

A few of you "got it". A suprising amount of you did not. I'm putting this here so you realize I was just showing the how a ridiculous fanboy statement could be turned around to make a contrasting ridiculous fanboy statement. Naznatips got it, as well as Torillian, Zenfolder, LongLiveTheBeatles, OT7 and a few more....
For the record. I don't believe the PS3 will fail AT ALL, though I do think it will come in second this gen. MS will be 3rd, but all will continue to sell massive numbers. My thread is a complete parody of the "End of the Wii" thread, I even mispelled "preditcion" as the original thread had it spelled that way. I then just edited that thread and changed the names of the games and systems. I added the 360 stuff to counter the original "GTA is the game that made the PS2" part. When grammer made no sense in the original post, I left it to not make sense in mine. And I have no idea which GTA4 will ultimately win, time will decide that. I have no opinion on the matter.
I'm posting this here because last night the "other" thread was getting a lot of attention, which is what flame bait is intended to do, I thought it would be a great sarcastic post to counter it using the original post with a few simple edits. But today the orginal post has fallen off the radar, and people reading it today might actually think this thread is a serious prediction, which it was never intended to be. I posted about 40 posts in that it was a parody, but people aren't "getting" it even after reading that. So I decided to edit the first post and link the original. I actually am suprised how many of you actually didn't realize it was just ultra sarcastic parody even after I told you directly. I wish no ill on any console, I hoped many of you would immediatley get the joke as you did with the famous Wii Bingo stunt from Rol :)

This was in response to Leo's thread and I have to say they're both stupid. Hat's off to you OP.ZenfoldorVGI said:
The funny thing is this satirical prediction has a much more likely chance of happening than does Leo-Js.OT7 said: Saying that the PS3,360,Wii,PSP,DS,or PC gaming is dead and doomed is reductionist,pure fanboyism and very dumb for VGC's members,every of this generation's systems have a piece of the market right now.
