I think it's kind of pointless to speculate until the other two consoles are out, but what the heck.
I'm personally waiting for the PS3. As of yet I have nothing that will actually make me want to buy it, but I like my ps2 over xbox, so I'm expecting that to probably continue. I was a SEGA fan myself, and when the Dreamcast died it was a sad day for me. I had all but decided to go with XBOX over the "evil" Sony, but then the games I wanted to play never came, and I ultimately bought a PS2. I see the same thing happening with this current next gen.
I think all of them could lose this time around,... The tech has been pushed out perhaps a bit early (and therefore expensive to produce) And people are mostly happy with the current gen. Add to that the astronomical cost increases required to build a next-gen title, and game costs are rising to the point where they need guaranteed hits every time, and that means sequels,... lots and lots of sequels.
Nintendo has itself in a unique position with originality, but I'm very concerned about their past track record of very few titles for their systems.
Anyways, the system that makes the games I want to play will get my money. I have a 360 at work, but so far no interest in buying one for home.
