My reasoning:
The x360 will see its successor by 2011 due to hardware problems, DVD limitations and M$ insistence being the first on the scene and this time around M$ would have made money to cover R&D costs.
The wii will get an upgrade to HD since SDtvs would eventually become obsolete and 512 mb of memory is just pitiful for current standards.
The ps3 would last 2 generations while its developments costs ultimately fall and it becomes like the ps2 gen again where Sony was around first with the worst hardware power. PS3 is the most future-proof with a SATA HDD, blu-ray, gigabit ethernet, etc. Also, ps3 would not make enough money for ps4 R&D costs till the nex-gen of consoles. The ps4 would eventually release slightly before the gen after the next gen as the first on the scene.
There would be no major technology overhaul used on any console again and no company would take a loss on consoles.
What do you guys think of my predictions?
