I fully expect Sony to continually build on their online content. But as for Ace in the Hole, I'm not so sure. It's unlikely we'll see too many PS2 games since they're just so large. PS1 games and movies are possible of course and would be great. But the Wii and Xbox already have their own versions. Wii's in particular is the leader right now in old content, with Snes, Nes, 64, Genisis and TurboGrafix 16, with Neo Geo and some other system on the way. Eventually, xbox marketplace will be expanded, Wii will add new content as well as old, including online games, and Ps3 will have PS1 content and film/music. Not sure which one will be the best, but I don't think anybody has an Ace in the hole.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
I can't see Nintendo merging with anyone - why would they? they are profitable, they do what they want - they are happy. They have even resisted the urge to buy/merge with other companies (Nintendo/Capcom would be cool in my books :>). The change in behavior (for consumers) is a good point. I know a lot of people used their PS2 offline only - and even with this generation, I have to wonder how many people will want to hook a PS3 at all (Sony only quoted at having 3-4 million online users - compared to 110m PS2's sold... that isn't a high penetration rate). But if Sony have some *awesome* content, they can FORCE people to change their behaviour - albeit slowly. And they can market (i.e. advertise) the hell out of this. Playing online PS1 games probably doesn't matter that much to the "casual" gamer - but listening to Sony owned music (and movies) would. .... Find out soon, GDC keynote in only a few hours...

Yup PS3 is based around single player, Wii is around party, and 360 is online. shams - on your bittorrent set a upload limiter to something like 20k/s. That might help. If you are maxing your up. You wont download faster than 50-100k/s If your looking into downloading straight off the net, look into http://gamershell.com They have alot of game related stuff for download, off *GREAT* servers. They give me the best download speeds I've ever seen, and their 100% free. EDIT: These downloadables. are optional. You could get flow after a few hours of download at the worst. Chances are if your internet is that bad, you wont hook up your PS3... and if you dont hook up your PS3 to the net... you wont know about it. :D Sony's online theory is adding more depth to the games they already make. Adding a community side. Microsoft's online, is based around online games, and their community. That is it's big problem. And nintendo... is currently the party system. What you play 2-4 player with.
