When do we consider the end of a generation?

When the first next generation console comes out? Then probably 2nd

When the last current generation consoles ceases production? Then I'll say 1st

I think the PS3 will stick around the longest, eventually outselling Wii in the weekly charts.

I think the Wii will peak and then drop suddenly, unless Nintendo changes their game plan.

I think the X-box will fizzle out slowly but maintain decent sales.

You may laugh, but the problem with the "mainstream" is that they are fickle and can't stay interested in anything for too long. Today Wii is king, but next week they might be running out to buy a furry red doll that laughs when you poke it. I am not calling the Wii a fad (yes I am, but being a fad isn't bad). It will maintain a dedicated fanbase like all Nintendo consoles, but until Nintendo tries to capture "hardcore" gamers again it will have to deal with a second place finish again.


PS3 to stick around the longest?? why is this? there has been no sign of the PS3 outselling the wii in the weekly chart apart from the slim launch. i voted for second. The PS3 will never ever overtake the wii in sales it just cant be done.

Wii will be far out in the lead and 360/PS3 could go either way, but it will be very tight between them. They have garnered the dubious title of 'HD Twins' for a reason. This is the Wii generation.

Actually, it should be, in that case, the HD-twins generation, since, you know, they have both sold combined more than the Wii, both HW and SW...

Anyway, I think that the PS3 will end up as second place, this gen is far from over, it will takes 3 to 4 more years before developing "next gen" games won't cost a fortune.

Not by a clear margin.

But let's just call it quits and make it the Nintendo generation then, since the Wii+DS have outsold everyone. :D

That, I can agree with :P



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I voted 3rd place. I just cant see M$ allowing ps3 to breeze past even if they have to give the 360 away for $50

Third, still think that the Xbox will just best the PS3.

Still I could be wrong....

First place is not gonna happen there are not enough potential PS3 purchasers left to overhaul the Wii the gen.
