There are fundamental reasons why PS3 will succeed.. None of them have been mentioned so far.
PS3 is the best system, wether its the more popular or the best selling is irrelevant. When the 3DO came out, it was the best system on the market. Also, the games make a difference, I doubt PS3 will be the gamers choice if they like FPS games.
Japan - Japanese consumers have not indulged in the 360 experience. This means apart from Wii, there is absolutely no competition. Apart from Capcom/Tecmo there is no Japanese support for new product. I would imagine Capcom are just using 360 as a means to tap into western markets and port over a whole bunch of games to PS3 later on.
BR - It will take time, but the standard of BR will exceed that of HD-DVD and its built in. Not to mention 3 inhouse studios owned by Sony (Tristar, Columbia and MGM) who's movies will only be on BR. Oh and Disney too. Also, it should be noted that when PS3 launches, 3-5 million BR enabled players will be in homes at an alarming rate. I doubt HD-DVD will have ANY WHERE NEAR THAT for the forseeable future.
Backwards compatibility - Its almost 100% guaranteed.
Price - HD-DVD $500 vs PS3 $600.
Negatives re BR
Sony hasn't launched a player yet. Only Samsung has. Although I find this strange it does not surprise me that Samsung failed to spark enthusiasm in the format. Wait for Sony's machine and then decide.
As for HD-DVD gaming -
I can't see in the forseeable future that anyone bar Square could fill a DVD9.. And even if they could you could just use 2 of them. Obviously Sony will get Konami to fill a whole BR disc to make it sound necessary to have all that storage, but we know thats BS.
360 and PS3 are both great machines obviously. Its just sad to me that consoles have gotten into "can I fit it in the budget plan" like a motorbike or a sports car.
I sway towards PS3 because of Japanese support/first party titles. I would not buy one at launch because thats stupid imo. I will be getting a Wii based on the fact that it represents good value at an acceptable cost.

With a sig like that, you don't need to apologize for anything.
But in any case, until PS3 comes out, nothing could seriuosly be forecasted. Videogames probably have the wierdest business patterns (or lack thereof) compared to any other industry. One day a company can be doing really well, the next day it plummets, the opposite also happens alot too. Just when you think something is dead or dying it suddenly rises out of the ashes as something that takes people's breaths away. All wii can do is speculate.
And yes i'm very confident that the Wii will be a very tough competitor this time around, despite being so different from the 360 and the PS3.

I believe the Wii will surprise on sales. Its just a matter of economics, not graphics.

I agree with Neorichieb1971 on the Japanese support being a big plus. Let's face it, Japan owns yer ass when it comes to games. I mean yeah there is Eidos, ID Software and a few other companies from Europe and the US. Still, I have to say the companies like SNK, Konami, Capcom, and many others just seem to satisfy more. I am more of just a fan of games when it comes down to it. Most people as well as I favored what is considered to be the better systems like; SNES, Neo Geo, PS1, PS2. The games do the talking for me.
I do own a 360 right now and am somewhat disatisfied with the overall game releases right now. The only games I own are Dead Rising, Call of Duty 2 and DOA 4. I may get 99 Nights, but not sure yet. Still I just like having what is out there. It hurts my pockets saying it, but oh well, it is pretty balling.
Dead Rising is pretty kick ass and all but also can get very frusterating. That fucking clown and Louis from RE4. I fucking hate clowns like Problem Child to begin with anywayz.
