Let the War Begin! (Once again!)

Today the last console, the Nintendo Wii, is officially released in this round of the console wars.  Right from the start the Wii is doing exceptionally well, and estimates show that it has surpassed the sales of the Playstation 3 which was launched the Friday before the weekend.  It is going to take a while for the Wii to catch up to the Xbox 360 which was released last year, but Nintendo has made a console worthy of surpassing the Xbox 360's sales.  In the past couple days the Microsoft has sold their 7 millionth Xbox 360.  I predict Wii will be a mutual console that everyone will own, but if they choose to have another console they would either get Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3, depending on what console has the greatest amount of games that appeal to them.  Judging by previous rounds it is hard to say what the outcome will be but I would predict that it would go: Nintendo's Wii, Microsoft's Xbox 360, and in last place Sony's Playstation 3.
