I was reading Edge magazine (they were pretty cold on the 360 stuff) and about the Revolution and it got me thinking.
We have 3 consoles here that can deliver three potentially differant things.
The Xbox 360 is next gen PC architecture, hence it looks good but is no revolution in graphics. However this makes PC ports very easy as well due to shared dev kits so expect a large library of quality games with great but not paradigm breaking graphics.
The live features are also the best of any console.
PS3 will perhaps deliver true next gen graphics but only on some titles due to the potential cost of coding for this.
So the PS3 will have some games that the others just can't emulate but a lot of other games that are the same as the other 2. It also has lots of multi media features like Blu Ray and dual HDMI that the others don't.
Revolution is chasing the market of casual gamers and jaded gamers and non gamers. By changing the empasis from polygons and performance to interactivity and fun Nintendo may end up with a completley differant market to Sony and MS. With some unique games designer for casual and non gamers. The revo controller will deliver some unique and compelling propositions. Perhaps even getting our wifes/partners to play!
So I can see that perhaps they will all thrive due to the different nature of each console.
I am sure the in terms of pure market share one will have the most, but this may be irrelevant due to the differing nature of the consoles. Ninty are making a profit on every console sold, MS are breaking even, and Sony will sell at a loss, at least initially.
Hence Sony have to sell the most to recoup their money, followed by MS and nintendo. If the market share reflects this then non have necessarily lost.
I am not pitching this as one is better than other blah blah. Just trying to explain how possibly they will all co-exist.
I will buy all three.
