Wii will win - even though serious gamers prefer other consoles
Stu Reeves hit the nail on the head.
The Wii is fun for everybody. Your parents, grandparents young children etc.
For a serious gamer - the appeal soon wears off, but the majority of people out there are not serious gamers.
I thought the Wii would never take off. On paper it was no where near as good as the Xbox 360 or PS3. I was wrong.
The PSP is better than the DS Lite.
What Nintendo do is market to a much wider audience. Old and young alike. Their games are fun. Im thinknig of buying a DS just for the "brain" games. These could be done on other platforms - but for some reason they are not there. Serious gamers like my kids wont play them - but I would.
A lot of people will buy a Wii and an Xbox360 or a Wii and a PS3 but very few will get Xbox360 and PS3.
Blu-ray will help the PS3 in the long run, but its not made a big impact yet.
Xbox360 does have much better game sthan the PS3 right now.
Xbox360 works out more expensive -once you take into account subscription to Xbox live, wireless etc. (But Xbox live is way better than PS equivalent - you get what you pay for).
