An internationally made, web-enabled prediction:

PS3 will eat the XBox360's lunch. The predictions that are being made regarding the availability of games are bupkis. Go down to any retail video store and you'll see the number of referbushed PSP's available from those that have been sold back -- despite increasingly available PSP software. This thing came out a year ago! There is just that much turnover in the market right now, and the game stores make it a heck of a lot easier to sell things back. While there are some duds in the PSP's inaugural software class, I think EA's NFL Street is one of the best games ever made, and Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories should win some kind of software award for 2005.

XBox360 will sell maybe 2-3 million units between now and early March. Yawn. By the beginning of next summer, you won't be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a used XBox360, the one the real gamer traded in to get a PS3. Or, better yet, because of the amont of time between the releases and the eventual ensuing price war, the PS3 will be cheap enough for a lot of people that didn't wait to see which was better to actually purchase both. Either way, the PS3 will absolutely shine.
