I think long term threads like this are entertaining because they allow you to look back on the flow of hype and excitement as news develops on each system. So, discuss your feelings on each system--who you think will win, and who you think should pack and go home.

Personally, right now, the XBOX 360 sounds incredible, but can it compete against a technically surperior PS3 a year from now which has the entire PS1 and PS2 back catalog? I look at the XBOX 360 finishing in a solid second place. The Revolution is the wild card, but all the rumors seem to suggest it might be something really different from the other two. In that way, it might really make a foot print for itself away from the other two. Nintendo has been trying to do this for a few years, and while a neat idea, they may be killing themselves in the process.
