Well, there's little hype for the PS3 and the Revolution because they're not coming until next year. I think right at this moment, this is Microsoft's show to win or lose because the other two just aren't going to even try to challenge them at this moment.

Although I do notice that there isn't much hype for any current generation console games either, so you may be onto something. There doesn't seem to be a GTA or Halo or Final Fantasy type blockbuster on the horizon as far as I can tell.

I actually find that a lot of PC gamers and PC columnists are saying that the PC games market is very weak right now. World of Warcraft is great and so is Half Life 2, but those were a long time ago. What have PC gamers got to play lately? I'm not sure that Call of Duty 2 is really going to be enough all by itself to generate enthusiasm.
