Alright we all know that this year was suppose to be "The year of the PS3".  But, Microsoft pull an awesome marketing ploy that some people didn't expect... right.  The Wii ran all the way to the bank with new customers from every demographic.  Here is the thoughts on '09.  Please remember just thoughts just like imagination land.

The Wii - Announce this year instead of a whole new system they add an upgrade that connects to you wii to do high deff gaming.  Thus entering it to the HD Level.  They will jump to blu ray too because they can do what ever they want.  plus blu ray players will be cheap by summer.  This will bring hardcore gamers to the table.  

The 360 - Brings the heat in gaming.  After a year of losing game scores to the PS3 and seeing the Wii hardware no insight decides to announce a 1 game a month promising that it will be almost a perfect score every time. Right when the ps3 thinks it is getting somewhere with gaming this summer because "i will tell you in the ps3 section" Xbox promise their new system 720 is out by march 1st 2010.  Along with it the announcement of halo 4 catching everyone! 

The PS3 - Releasing amazing games this summer plus a dramatic price cut at the end of march dominates for the beginning of summer.  Until E3 comes along where they announce you can send in your ps3 to have a new hardware installed for $250 to make it the PS4 because they want to keep the blu ray player alive.  The ps4 is announced for 2011.  They also announce motion controllers in a new design where it can be set to be a normal controller or motion.

One final though...... Wii decides they want to go HD they buy out sony's playstation rights....

remember imagination land. discuss. 

Jesus makes a comeback in 09.

OT: Wii with blu-ray? Keep dreaming. Nintendo has stayed away from paying license fees for the last 2 generations. Why would they start now?

^ True but when you can run to the bank and still make mad loot wouldn't you?

off topic: yes those boobs are real

How on earth could the Wii get blu-ray? It's not in the BDA. It would need to join, and I'm sure it's not free. The Wii does not need addons, it's fine as it is and will keep first place, occasionally announcing some first party games.

The PS3 already has an incredible lineup for 2009, all it needs is a price cut in Q1/ Early Q2 and it's set for the year. WLAN will be cut out and a Slim PS3 will be announced and possibly released near the end of the year. PS3 will be $300 by the end of the year. GT5 and a price cut will make it second in weekly sales by the end of 2009.

Microsoft will try to compete with the PS3, cutting the Pro to $250, will continue trying to get third party exclusivity. They will step up their first party studios, perhaps acquiring some small failing developers. Halo 4 will NOT be announced in 2009.

Cheers Kantor! I like your input.

Nintendo - Just gives the finger to everyone and just to prove how rich they have become they buy SE just to skrew all owners of 360 and PS3 of FFXIII. Also offers Sony financial aid to PS3. And of course the release a camera with a simple game bundled which will increase sale of Wii with the double and kill all the old records, with the same old price.

Sony – Instead of the expected price cut they instead introduce a new high end model where you actually get a Sony Bravia 40” LCD-TV, a strategy that will actually make them lose less money than with a price cut.

Microsoft – Introduces Windows for 360 but on another name. Since the problem of storage will come up again they offer all owner to get refurbished 120gb discs as all new models will be equipped with 250gb excluding Arcade. To compete with BluRay half of the content in all games must be downloaded, the good thing is that you can downloaded on PC/MAC even PS3 through a browser or Live then burn it or play from USB.
