Sony, Sony who? you say, it is the year 2010.
I don`t believe this will be the case Sony has a huge fanbase and most if not all of Japan- Sony is going nowhere. Well whats the big deal about Japan you say? Well Japan regardless of the size of the country buys as many games as the US- so it is sort of a second front. MS was smart to try to win them over and now they have a little more time to do it, but will they? - no. Is MS going to get a bigger share of Japan than before? I think so. But not much more. Just wait till some more of the Japanese style games come out and you will see a bigger 360 share over in Japan.
So the question is will Sony lose the US then? No not here either Sony has really loyal fans and they will wait and pay anything for the PS3. Will Sony lose share in the US market? I think so but it will be a close race for 1st place. I see Sony putting out the PS3 even later than expected. maybe late dec launch in the US. Priced around 500-600. In a way I would love to see SOny fail. I hate this company. I have gone through so many electronics they have made it is not even funny. But in a way I also hate MS, their garbage overpriced OS and office software.
Nintendo is the real innovater and hold a special place in my heart, the problem with nintendo is they have a hard time getting really good third party support. The revolution is going to be cool though, old mario games, old metroid and zelda games, the new zelda game, what else can i say? The controller is awesome, the system looks cool. It may be a little underpowered some might say but hell, THE GAMEPLAY is what really matter.
I see
MS with a 35% market share
Sony with a 40% market share
And NIntendo with a 25% market share (and again the most profitable- Nintendo is the smartest by offering the best price to performance ratio and by not taking a loss in selling their consoles)
The cool thing is, there is really no console war. Every system has their own fanbase and nitch. I will own the revolution along with my 360. It is a great time for gaming all this "fighting" has pushed the technology so far in such a short period and it will only get better. And to answer the question, who will win? nobody! and everybody!
