What are your 2008 video game predictions?

The Hyperscan breaks through as a viable 4th system, with lots of new games produced. Everyone laughing at those of us who scooped one up for $6.99 on clearance at Circuit City has egg on their faces now.....some people begin referring to the Hyperscan as the new Dreamcast. :rolling:

 

Oh yeah, and monkeys fly out of my butt

Fanboys of <insert console name here> will say <insert other console name here> sucks, theirs will dominate and the other will fail miserably. Oh wait... that's already happening... just like last year.

 

HD-DVD and Blue Ray will not take off until players are consistently under $100 and more movies are available for $20 or less. Since that is a more realistic achievement for HD-DVD it may have the last laugh but it won't be next year. Sony is stuck with Blue Ray on their console no matter what format wins so both will be around a while.

 

The 360 will see some revisions to make it more competitive. Expect a price cut at the low end and HD-DVD at the high end. It will only be a little quieter.

 

The PS2 will continue to sell well after a price drop for the revised model... however the PS3 will finally surpass it in sales... next year.

 

Sales will continue to be in the same order they are now for the latest gen systems.
