Japan's top magazine publisher, Enterbrain, says Sony could fall behind rivals in the initial phase of competition, but it will clean up in the end.

Enterbrain President Hirokazu Hamamura says PS3's "overwhelmingly realistic graphics will give it a long life span. It will stay competitive even when a game console battle breaks out among a newer generation of machines in 2010. Sales should grow every time Sony cuts prices."

Hamamura says cost will come down for manufacturing as demand increases, and it will outsell both Wii and Xbox 360 in the long run because of graphics and "rich pool of potentially popular games."

Enterbrain (what a name?!?!) predicts the following results by 2009:
Sony PS3 Sales: 34 million units
Xbox 360 Sales: 28 million units
Nintendo Wii Sales: 25 million units

I don't pretend to be an expert on this, but I don't know if I agree that Nintendo will finish last.

Let the commenting begin.
