PS3 Industry Leader In 2007?
1up has a piece on a report indicating that the PS3 will likely be dominant in the industry by the holiday season of 2007. From the article: "Research and Markets also foresees online gaming becoming an increasingly important part of the gaming experience, with Microsoft's Xbox Live service leading the charge. The research overview provides no speculative details on whether Sony or Nintendo's services will be comparative. The next-generation console market as a whole will actually peak in 2008 according to the report, eventually generating $21.9 billion, whereas software sales will rise through 2010 at $16.8 billion. "
Both are true. It will flop, but then it will rebound and dominate the 2007 Christmas season.

In other news, we will all have hydrogen fuel-cell based flying cars, which will have iPod cradles (even though the old-style iPod will be long obscolete, thanks to the new sKullPod) before the decade is over.
Furthermore, when I die, on my deathbed, I will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin' for me... which is nice.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
