PS3 to be victor?

"The Yankee Group (a Boston Technology firm) recently announced that it predicts Sony's PS3 to lead the market with a 44% share through 2011. Most interesting is their prediction that the Wii will maintain only 16% of the market share. From the article: 'The analyst group believes Sony will lead in next-gen market share by 44% in 2011, with Xbox 360 taking a close 40% share, followed by Wii with a wee little bitty 16% share.'"
Personally I doubt this will be the case out of all three next gen consoles my favourite so far is the new and inovative Wii. Coming up second is the PS3 and taking up third place with little to no interest is the 360. I'm most likely to either go with cheap and inovative or powerful and expensive.

I wouldnt be greatly suprised to find out that WoW is classfied as an addictive substance. That game steals peoples souls. More often then not people end up doing things, like forums and such, less and less often.
