All of their "exclusives" are coming to 360 now, save Devil May Cry and MGS, and I have even heard rumors of those two making it to 360. I went all over town the other day trying to find a wii. None to be found. Too bad I didn't want a ps3 cause I could have gotten one no problem because they are just sitting in stores. And this is happening everywhere from what I have read. Plus Live is the trump card in all of this. Unless sony can somehow compete in the online department, I don't think they stand a chance. And am I the only one who thinks that people are going to get real tired of playing wii real quick. Nintendo thinks they are going to tap some unexplored demographic, but non-gamers are non-gamers for a reason, they do other things. give wii 6 months and I bet people will be much less excited about running around their living room with nunchucks If Sony can’t move ps3′s now, what makes anyone think that they will move them in the future.

That's just about 5 years. The only reason the ps2 went that long is because Microsoft can't get their shit togeter any faster than that. #13 Todd

A new final fantasy came out a couple months ago, god of war II is going to be on ps2.. But look how dated the graphics look on a ps2 compared to any of the next gen consoles. I actually got my ps2 for christmas just 2 (err 3) years ago. #9

Let's not forget the fierce competition between the SNES and the Genesis consoles. In the first years the Genesis kicked the SNES ass and even beating by number of units sold. In the last years of the 16 battle though, the SNES games showed a degree of maturity (specially the japanese games) while the latter Genesis games sucked big time. IMNHO I would agree with these predictions BUT with caution, unless the PS3 maintains a good fanbase with games that are a must have on the PS3, it will become another Dreamcast.
