Take out your crystal balls and answer this question... (56k warning)

Which of the three major consoles will be looked at as the biggest failure, in System Wars, by the end of this generation?

I don't think I'm wrong in assuming the majority of SW goes by "best games = biggest success" so I'm essentially asking which console will have the least amount of great games by the end of this gen.

Right now, the 360 has the most AAA/AAs so it definitely has the momentum to achieve the most success...

The PS3 is the successor to the best selling console ever + it has big names like FF, GT, MGS, so it should be a success...

The Wii has a growing library of great titles and incredible sales which should help bolster 3rd party support soon...

ie. All of them shouldbe successful, but the reality is that consumers will probably go for one, maybe 2 of them, and one will get left behind. Which of the three major consoles will be the biggest failure? I'm leaving PC out since it's a constant in all gens.

What do you guys think?

The DS will beat the living crap out of every console. :D

for home console? I think the Wii will lose in terms of games, in terms of sales, no doubt, the 360 will lose.

Sony will be the failure in the console wars because they lost marketshare and Nintendo will be the failure in the handheld wars because they lost marketshare. At least that is what I am told every day.

Hmmm. It depends. The Japanese game development market needs a renaissance (or an enema as Jack Nicholson's Joker would say). Not that it's completely dead but it seems to be spinning wheels outside of Capcom. If they start stepping up then maybe PS3 will have the best overall library like the PS2 did.

But for now I love my 360 I love LIVE and I love the achievement system. In fact...gaming has never dominated more of my waking hours than with the arrival of 360 which is sad because I am getting too old for this ish.

In SW probably Wii. Everywhere else probably 360 because it will be looked at as just an average console in terms of innovation and advancing the industry.Tiefster

I lean towards the PS3 so Im going to say 360 but the fact is the Wii gonna be alright.

If exclusives matter
1) PS3
2) Wii
3) 360

If exclusives don't matter
1a) PS3
1b) 360
2) Wii

Just an opinion... most of the reasoning behind PS3 being first is based on the potential of its franchises from last gen.

Sony will be the failure in the console wars because they lost marketshare and Nintendo will be the failure in the handheld wars because they lost marketshare. At least that is what I am told every day.

Um Nintendo DS is selling more then the GBA. Even with the PSP selling well Nintendo has still upped the anti from the GBA.
