@ Ronz

Thanks for the thoughts man. You have good stuff to say. Could you possibly make your own statement answering the four questions, instead of responding to SouthJag, though? Keeping to stating our personal opinions keeps the "bickering" down, as opposed to resonding to other's statements which gets people riled. It'd be most appreciated.

Thanks guys for playing by the rules. This thread is turning out great so far! Let's hear more opinions!!

Lets the game begain!

I know this is your thread but please try to keep the member moderation to a minimum, especially when you do it in such a patronising fashion.

As for the questions, I think short term the 360 will be on top sales wise but after a year or so the PS3 will take over and become as commonplace as its predecessors. As was stated above, gamers aren't broke students any more, they're young professionals with money to burn. The PS3 is a desirable piece of kit for anyone looking to own the latest cool thing. The 360 will stay popular, mainly because of Live but I see it being many people's second console, much like the Xbox before it.

Nintendo are destined to stay firmly in third place until they wise up and shed their kiddie image. The Gamecube was always seen as a kids console and I imagine the Wii will follow that trend, especially if all the games they bring out have Mario in them. Even kids these days aren't interested in kids games anymore, they all want to play GTA.

Each system will always have its supporters of course but in the overall mass market, Sony will come out top with MS playing second fiddle again and Nintendo claiming they were never interested in the home system market anyway and bringing out twelve new versions of the DS to bolster sales.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
