This thread makes me want to go Jay and Silent Bob on everyone who posted in it with serious intent.

Wii will sell the most. Price Point attractive repackagings. 3rd party support snowballs into 08-09

MS will make a ton of money if they hold off on a price drop, and build the perceived value till after 07 holiday. They don't have to rush, as PS3 isn't really direct competition either (see below). Online gaming will reach its peak in innovation (think 360 is to online what SNES was for 2d sidescrollers, fighters, etc).

PS3 will start to pick up by holiday 08 as Blu-ray movie library increase and HDTV are more common in homes. More games will feature 1080p, and this will attract the hardcore gamer back to sony. Sony online will have some interesting features, like Home and a more refined Camera. Sony will begin "buying" exclusives later in the gen.

Three different products for three different gaming purposes. Second and Third place will be bigger than last gen, but Wii will just keep selling like crazy.

A little more crazy prediction/hope - Low powered Wii may see a sub to par -360 successor in 2-4 years, sony and MS would then delay the release of their next gen to recoup losses from the early part of this generation. We really could see a 7-10 year cycle this time around. I hope for this because although I like graphics, they just aren't increasing enough to warrant another generation of consoles (from a business stand point). If the arms race continues too heavily, the whole industry might suffer.

With 360 selling 2 million in Japan..:)

Rocketpig: You want to sell them weed? Isn't that illegal? Then put on a boom box and do the little bunny foo foo? Anyone tell you your urges are weird?

Flaming alert!!...what i want is happening right now ;)

Some company coming out with a device that plays games from any console.

I dont really care who wins the console war i just want the wii to do well.I think it will sell around 50 million units which is a great result for nintendo.

Ideally all 3 within 10 million total of each other.

i w an tson y to loo se :p b igtime

I'm curious how people STILL think MS will make money this gen even if they pull off first?

5 billion in the hole folks. They won't see a profit for years even at #1.

Sony is in better shape having only buned last gen profits and possibly PS1, meaning in best case senario the have broke even in their gaming department.

I'm also surprised people haven't considered 360's design flaws when increased sales are hypothesized. The problem isn't being addressed. The more growth for MS's name in gaming means more growth in awareness of this problem.
