The Nintendo Wii is still selling like crazy, the 360 sales are steady, and the PS3 looks to be on the rise with the upcoming releases of Metal Gear Solid 4, Lair, and Blu Ray starting to pick up. So my question is ... Do you think with will have a permanent industry leader after Christmas 2007?

No, I don't think we'll know for sure until around Christmas 2008.  I do think the Wii will probably win though.

tis a true statement. even when we DO elect a winner, people will still argue that the other two were better anyways.

It's unreal the way the PS2 is still doing so well. I guess it could be another 2 years.

Only if there's a blowout. If any console outsells the other two combined, or there abouts, we'll have a winner. Otherwise, still be going into 2008.

How do we define who wins? Sales? The Wii might sell more to wives and preschool kids than the other two consoles combined, does that make it the best? No. It's gotta be about the games, whichever console has the best wins. For me, at least.

The winner should be by games sold IMO.

And honestly Sony lost IMO in terms of letting the other two back in the race in a huge way and dropping the ball. Sony will most likely win again but very a very slim margin making them the loser really cause they could have kept a bigger lead based off from PS2's success

That is a hardcore gamers point of view but in economic point of view in which really does measure who wins, it is still the console sales.

Overall games sold seems like the best answer.

neither of those games are out yet... neither blu ray or HD DVD are doing great. people are happy with dvd. and there will never be a permanent industry leader for ever. just one company who has the upper hand in one point in time. you're asking all the wrong questions.

I hope not, I just hope something goes really wrong with Nintendo financially and they go bankrupt.

yeah, any console can win if you look at certain demographics. but ultimately it would probably be which company made the most money, or most systems sold. but someone could say, so and so won because it had higher ranked games, or the wii had the most innovative, etc.

that is VERY unlikely to happen. the wii costs so little money to manufacture. im sure the profit for them is insane.

Agreed somewhat... I think Wii will outsell the other two over this generation. Now you know what I don't know if I still agree. Whoever wins this Christmas will more then likely win the console race.
