If Nintendo and Microsoft stop making consoles then yes! I KID I KID!!!!!
Looking @ how they priced PSvita and their recent comments how there wont be another ps3 fiasco for next gen its pretty clear they wont do another $599 for ps4 again.
I thought Nintendo would never come out on top again...boy was I wrong

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
Did the Dreamcast really have so many game? There must have been hundreds that flopped then.
Most certainly this upcoming generation they have a perfect chance. They have by far the largest worldwide support across the globe compared to their largest competitor Microsoft and they have one of the best if not the best set of first party studios out there. With their movie production umbrella and games becoming more cinematic every generation (They will always have a solid niche to go to).
As far as Nintendo, they have the potential and brand recognition and WW support to beat Sony but they have to make a lot of fundamental changes to how they run their business (See DVD/Blu-Ray / Third Party support threads) which I don't see them doing as they've never really had to fall on a sword.
I'm not saying the success of the Wii persay was a fluke, but in all reality it sort of was a perfect storm of factors for them to dominate the market. (Absurd high entry points of their competitors, new unseen technology, genres of games that appealed to different crowds.) Nintendo won't have that amount of factors again anytime soon.
Sony had realistically one of the worst launches they could possibly have had and have gotten to a point where they have almost salvaged 2nd place this generation and look to be in the best position moving forward in terms of various factors. I still believe the $200 price cut will move lots and lots and lots of PS3s.
As long as Sony sticks to it's simple formula of competitive graphic system, with familiar comfortable controls, excellent third party support and continues some trends this generation of top notch first party titles they would appear to be in great position to capitalize American markets as well as European and Japan they really will do solid their regardless.

It's looking likely, time will tell...
Only if we still live in a world where things fall into the place they belong.
Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

it'll be all about price for sony. look at ps3, where would it have been now if it launched cheaper? playstation is the only console that can come out alive at $599 and man it took a roasting on the way out. sony pricing the ps3 at $599 was probably the single biggest mistake in the company's history.
| Miguel_Zorro said: I know I'm in the minority here, but I still think that Sony is going to win *this* generation. Let me be clear on how I define that though - total lifetime console sales of the PS3 will be higher than that of the Wii or the XBox 360. It will be close, but the Wii is going to be pulled off the market in the not to distant future, whereas the PS3 will keep selling for another five years. |
I don't think the Wii will be going anywhere, anytime soon...its still $150 and has another Price Cut to go.
With that said, I expect PS3 to start outselling Wii when it hits the price of $250...but they both will continue to sell for a while and PS3 won't be able to erase the 36 Million gap.(IMO)
