these are some incredible inferences.

If the HD consoles are forgotten and next gen is Wii-like i will drop gaming completly.

The gap won't be as big as the PS2-Xbox and GC gap, so no, the HD consoles will not be forgotten.

And Square Enix can hardly be taken as an example for all publishers. Square Enix follows money more than anyone else.

Oh and it certainly will not be by 2010. The miniature HD wars will still be going on, because the PS3 and 360 are not GC-scale failures, they will both finish the gen with over 50 million consoles sold. And people actually care which one wins. Last gen, a PS2 gave you basically the same experience as the GC and Xbox, but with better games, and for a cheaper price. The Wii gives you a totally different experience, with a cheap price. The quality of the games is opinion. Some love them, some hate them.

The gamecube and xbox were not forgotten. They just were not discussed as much. Will be same with PS3/360, but to a lesser extent. The PS360 doesn't have the greatness that the wii has, but they are better in enough areas over the wii, compared to relatively less where the gamecube was better then the ps2.

You could say the PS2 received about 85% of the attention toward the end. GC, XBOX, etc... share the remaining 15%.

It will probably be 70% wii and 30% PS360.

Good. Your demographic and its dominance has been poisoning this industry for far too long, and every one of you who drops out will only help speed gaming's recovery from the wounds inflicted by those with the gall to call themselves "hardcore."

That's stupid. When the Wii gets multiplats that outsell their 360 (or even PS3) counterparts across all genres, call me.

It already happens on some genres. In about 2 years, it will be across all.

It's not so much a case of memory but relevance.

All the platforms had their amazing titles 1st or 3rd party but in the end refference can only be achieved through relevance and exposure.

Wii Sports & Wii Fit will have a lot of exposure but for those on this website for the gaming intents will not see the relevance while those here for the marketing/business points will see their relevance.

In the end, the games the will be brought up the most will probably be, Mario Kart and Wii Fit... coinciding with those two games being the top sellers.

Exactly, so let me know. I'm wondering why Nintendo isn't able to get the casual sports gamers.

They probably could of been a lot closer if the didn't mess up the covers with bobble heads.
