It COULD win due to the crowd it is playing to, its innovative style, its incredible gaming selection however, it wont because: The PS3 has more aspects that appeal to the public. This is not from the point of view of sony, or microsoft or even nintendo, it is from the point of view of a gamer: The ps3 it may cost alot but it can already run linux and if it can run linux then surely it can run xp and if it can run xp surely it can emulate xbox and if it can emulate xbox then surely with its graphical capabilities it can emulate xbox360 and with that comes halo 3. If it can emulate halo 3 and it has the same technology as the wii then surely sony will find a way so that it uses that technology and it will most likely be similar to the wii. If not the homebrew community will emulate something similar to the wii and if you are patient and wait a few months for the ps3 then you will have killed 3 birds with one stone essentially. You will have a console that can emulate xbox and xbox360 and the wii. Now stop if you got an xbox360 and a wii you would be able to do almost everything the ps3 can do with the exception, you will lack blu ray a new and rising format, you will lack the memory space that the ps3 has, you will lack the graphics the ps3 has, you will lack the computer like capabilities the ps3 has, and you will lack the ps3 selection of games which is available to soley the ps3. Now if you can live without all that then get an xbox360, but if you can wait and have patience you can have it all.

At the end of the year, the PS3 will be a distant 3rd place in terms of market share. There just aren't enough systems to go around
Nintendo will be in second place, with nearly all of the 4 Million systems on the market finding homes.
But that won't be enough to catch up with the 7ish Million XBox already has in homes, and they will have the greater market share.
By the end of the first quarter of '07, Sony will have retaken the market and sit comfortably in the #1 spot, assuming they don't have any major production disasters.
Nintendo and Xbox will be in a dead heat. I'm giving Nintendo a slight advantage, here. I think with the Wii's reasonable price they'll be a bit more resistant to the post-holiday slump. With the sheer quantity of systems out there since the release, developers will be plentiful and they'll be eager to see who comes up with the most natural control system and what kind of new franchises they can stake out.
It's really a coin-toss though.

The ps3 is a whoppin 500-600 bucks, the xbox is 300-400 bucks, and the wii is only 250. Wii is really fun, because YOU are a part of the game, you arent just staring at the screen while mashing buttons. It also has free wi-fi. Go to it's official site, you'll get more detailed reasons.

Well duh! I've heard that you can play a PS3 for only 30 minutes and then it freezes-it NEVER unfreeze after that! And XBOX is bor-ring! Wii rules! And seriously, I have been into electronics for a VERY long time!
