Let's all make predictions for the videogame world. If your prediction comes true, I'll mail you a sandwich.
My Predictions (part 1):
1) Sega will RENTER the console market around 2005 with the release of a system that on paper seem light-years ahead of its time, but it will receive luke-warm responses similar to the Atari Janguar effort. (probability 74%)
2) The rapid release of gameboy variations will tire the audience, and portable gaming will be seen as a fad when the market slows down around 2004. Cheaper portable companies will then flood the market with Tiger like games, and the target market will drop in age. Around Fall 2004 (probability 50%)
3) The market is too small for 3 competitors. The xbox, PS2, Gamecube war will end with Nintendo announcing they will focus on portable gaming. They will claim to support the GC and let in slowly fade away. Abiding by the 2 market rule: console wars will be between Sony and Microsoft for home systems, Nintendo and a new mysterious competitor for portable systems. I suspect this is where Sega will reenter the game. (probability 90%)
Ok. Which do you think are possible? What probability? And what are your predictions?
Remember, free sandwich to the winners.
