Which company do you think will be the first to drop out?

I think RCA will be an early casualty. The Studio II just isn't up to the challenge of competing with the Xbox.

But they said you would be able to download every first party RCA game for free...

nintendo - although they may stick around in the hand held market

edit: If the backwards compatibility will become an issue with the xbox 360 - M$ will certainly fix that with thier next system - that is my bigest uncertainty - if M$ included good backwards compatibility then i would think they are set to be #2

im a bigger fan of xbox then gamecube ( ive played my GC once only ) - but at the moment im looking more towards getting a revolution becasue of thier download feature (if its free or cheap and includes many games) - it would be great to box up all my nes and snes games and keep 200 of them on the revolution

but for now im still voting nintendo will die ( even though i think there is enough room 3-4 consoles as long as there are cross platform games)

Oh great, not another "end of Coleco" spoof discussion.

What? You'd prefer another pointless "Nintendo is going down/no they're not" or "Sony sux/no they don't" discussion?

I say Microsoft, because Sony is not going down, and Nintendo learns from its competitors a lot faster than Microsoft. Example: When faced with genres Nintendo didn't have under its belt in the SNES era, they came up with innovative products like Mario Kart, F-Zero, and Star Fox. These titles also showed off the strong points of the console. However, Microsoft makes a lot of old mistakes by launching an expensive console with few and boring exclusive titles.

Hahahahahaha... Ummm, I don't get it.

I'm amazed Microsoft is getting so many votes here - guess that goes with the forum prejudices. I feel that Microsoft has the weakest "front" out of the companies, though; the main thing which made the Xbox potentially more attractive than the other consoles, the extra power, won't be true this time around.

Umm... Mario Kart, F-Zero and Star Fox started out on SNES. F-Zero was a launch title (or shortly there after) as I recall.
