@kspraydad, wow! very surprised and intrigued by your words. I had assumed xbox360 is conquering europe too, though i agree about japan and it's one of the key reasons I expect ps3 to have a lead: all the great japanese games that will lean towards the console popular in their country. But with recent success of xbox360 in the US, wide portfolio and targeting the masses do you really not think it can do 100 mil? Besides the old xbox owners and the ps2 converts due to xbox360 being the first next gen with it's present success it should continue to sell past the launch of xbox720.
@ -THE-RAY- I don't think it will be just 5-6 years except if it's only until next gen launch. I really do think that the 9-10 year timeframe is reasonable, because I also count they years after the next gen is released but the older gen still lingers on, which should easily be another 3 years IMO. More if consoles MMOs pick up (more hope with the Vivendi-Activision news, but I think it'll happen even without Blizzard)
