winner in sales is quite obvious.. winner in quality titles, though i don't like to admit it, is yet to be decided

In that sense Nintendo is already a clear winner. But IMO mainly because they made some bad choices with regard to the GameCube. With the Wii they made some genius choices. But it's not impossible the PS3 will outsell the PS2 eventually, making Sony winners as well, but to a lesser extend as the PS2 already is a huge success.

end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out

Overall, it's games library is still piss weak unfortunately.
So much so, that Wii owners have resorted to hyping up grabage like The Conduit >_>
Crossing fingers for E3 though :)

No, I'm sorry. Your faith, while touching is totally misplaced. Sony screwed the pooch this time around. And it seems like the current management is continuing to flounder around while trying to figure out what went wrong.
What went wrong is they didn't design a console they engineered one. It's all hardware with nary a sign of imagination or vision. They got the price wrong, they got the features wrong, hell they even got the look wrong.
Yes, lets design a big dark monolith of a console, price it about twice what consoles have ever sold for, advertise it with some dark violent ads, sweeten the deal with a video disk format that's trying to obsolete their DVD library but will look great on their giant HD TV, which they don't have. That'll get Mom and dad scrambling to get their kid one. Give me a break. Did anyone at Sony go to business school?
Wii is not the winner yet. It takes more then global console lead in hardware to win this generation. Xbox 360 is still the winner in my eyes, with allot better hardcore support and the fact that third party titles so far sells better on Xbox 360. One reason is a high attach rate on Xbox 360, but that won't save the box forever if 360 don't start to sell more, faster.
How much is Xbox 360 attach rate worth in Wii consoles when it comes to multi platform games (that Wii also has)? 3m Wii's, more? How much is it worth for hardcore games? 5m? 10m? more? As of now, it looks like it's just a matter of time before Wii is the leader in all areas.
If only the Japanese would get games they like for Wii that ain't from Nintendo, like Monster Hunter 3 and JRPGs, then the massive console lead in Japan for the Wii would come to some use.

It seems extremely likely the DS will have a much bigger install base than the PSP this generation of handhelds, but the PSP is certainly a success especially considering it's Sony's first attempt. By far the best handheld console competition Nintendo handhelds ever gotten since the introduction of the original Gameboy. |

As long as hardcore and old style markets didn't shrink, Sony and MS still have hope to fare quite well, but it's nearly impossible they win, the winner is Wii. Perhaps, giving PS3 a very long life, PS3 will be able to catch Wii, but in a very distant future and after Wii has gone out of production and ther will be already Wii2, should it go this way, PS3 would have satisfaction in its late years like PS2 is still having now, but, as opposed as its older sister, not having enjoyed leadership when its gen was the latest.
