    I, in sound mind and body, place a bet with Drakkael. The bet amount is $50. The bet is that, in 5 years, the console standings will mirror what they do in the current generation (Sony>MS>Nin). not allowed

      I agree to this bet and look forward to collecting my then-worthless $50 via mutant camel in the dystopian wasteland that is our future.

        So Drak, which order do you see it? Consoles only, or are handhelds being taken into account? North America or worldwide figures? Hardware sales or market share?

          Consoles only, worldwide, hardware sales. If two companies are tied, market share will be the tiebreaker. not allowed

            The nice thing about this bet is that I don't need to make any detailed guesses. Any deviation from Sony>MS>Nintendo and I win.
            But the horse I'm keeping my eye on is the PS3, no question.

              How will you compare hardware sales when Sony doesn't report those numbers, only the number of systems they've shipped?

                Assume 100% sales.

                  Can I make this bet with you too Drakkael?
                  I wouldn't mind collecting $50 in five years.

                    Nintendo is always to top for me, I just love to play that Zelda
