In terms of storage media I think that a HD disc, flash based memory and downloadable content will all be viable in the next generation; in 2011 a 8GB to 16GB flash cartridge may be possible for game media and by 2014 it should easily be in the 32GB to 64GB range, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will be dirt cheap, and people will have bandwith to support 1GB to 2GB downloads. I personally hope for flash based games but expect to see HD-DVD and Blu-Ray based games.

I expect Nintendo to focus on 1080i and 720p while producing a system which falls between the processing power of the XBox 360/PS3 and XBox 720/PS4; they will include a much improved version of the Wiimote and will sell their system for $200 to $300.

Microsoft is going to take its expanding userbase as a sign that they did the correct thing with the XBox 360; they're going to continue to try to "push the limits" in terms of hardware, focus on online content. They will move towards a hybrid between a conventional controller and a Wiimote-Nunchuck by adding more buttions and pressure sensitive verisons of most buttons.

Sony's next system will largely depend on whether they learnt their lesson with the PS3 or not...

SONY WILL have another system

Companies USUALLY drop out after 2 failures

& PS3 isn't a FAILURE YET, I feel its just stupid deciding it's fate when it hasn't even been a year since it's releasing

in ALL territories, March 08 will mark it having a 1 year release in all MAJOR territories

Xbox 360 - 15 Million

Playstation 3 - 8.5 Million

I think they'll all be awesome. Mainly because i haven't seen a videogame console that has sucked. Well aside from the Virtual Boy.

I hope Apple enters the console race. Then we can have a system weaker the Wii HD and more expensive then the PS4. They'd even be the same system!

And yet it will look and play the best of all?  That would complete the analogy.  Actually, though, high-end Macs aren't much more expensive than high-end PCs AFAIK; the difference is that there is basically no low-end price range.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
