Sometimes this board seems like someone's personal experiment to determine who can make the biggest and silliest fanboy predictions. We've gone a few generations now of Nintendo fanboys telling the world why their latest console was going to own the world, every time they fall flat on their faces, only to dust themselves off and do the exact same thing the following generation. Thanks for the comedy!

Wii is already different than the previous two generations since it beating every competing system in Japan...

@noob many wii owners wrote in this thread that it is still too early to declare the winner... take it easy only time will tell ...

Erik Aston: That was a fantastic link. Great analysis on that guy's part. A lot of the things we discuss on this forum focuses on the "pebbles"--rarely does a discussion go the way of analysing the strategies behind the 3 consoles. When the ball starts rolling, the momentum can't be stopped. Few people realize this, and instead point to the myriad of minor details that they convinced themselves would influence the sales of their console of choice. If the people in this forum are to participate in the stockmarket (assuming you can do pure plays on the 3 consoles) the same way they put forth their arguments, some people would come off to be substantial winners. nOOb: even if Sean Malstrom is a fanboy, he puts forth convincing arguments. For instance: -- on hardware: basically, he said that 360 are ps3 are without a focus. absolutely true. the cell architecture group themselves have said that it's unlikely developers will ever utilize the power of the machine. -- on high def: for every argument on the potential of blu ray, there is the argument on the other side on online delivery. in a way, ps3 even hedged their bets on this. if ps3 can deliver online movies, it's shooting its own blu-ray in the foot. -- on killer-apps: killer-apps are genre creators, games that pull in new audiences. even in this thread, i have mentioned that perhaps ps3 can save itself by rolling out blockbuster after blockbuster with its internal studio. that statement is flawed: it is likely sony can produce A+ games, but just because a game is A+ doesn't mean it is a killer app. more likely, sony's games will be in 2 or 3 main categories and among themselves, redundant and substitutes for each other. this is a bad sign for sony's gaming division.

The Wii has a "combo" killer going for it right now, Wii Sports and the Wii Remote. Losing one or the other would significantly reduce if not eliminate the wii's current sales numbers.
