Sony Corp. should win the latest battle in its war with Microsoft Corp. and Nintendo of America Inc. for dominance in the video game console business, but that victory will come with plenty of bruises.
The report predicts that Sony's PlayStation 3 console will ultimately control a larger market share than Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's planned Wii, but that Sony will likely be forced to slash prices for the expensive system and will be faced with a slimmer lead over Microsoft than with previous game consoles.
By 2011, though, the Yankee Group report predicts that Sony will have sold 30 million PlayStation 3s, controlling 44 percent of the market, compared with an estimated 27 million Xbox 360 units, which would account for 40 percent of the market.
Nintendo is expected to stay in third place with 11 million Wiis sold, claiming 16 percent of the console buying market.
And what about the cool controller? Echoing what Microsoft’s hardware production manager Rob Walker said at Gamefest earlier this week, Goodman told us that he and others who have played with the Wii controller for an extended period of time got tired and fatigued. While Goodman feels that the Wii controller is an impressive engineering achievement, he feels that gamers will get frustrated and tired of having to move their arms while, say, swinging a bat while playing Wii sports or throwing a football in the Wii port of Madden

Wii players will get tired AND fatigued. Oh **** I can't handle both of them at once!!!
This means that the world will be changing as we know it. Which is why physical sports playing in the world is only a memory. No one likes to actually MOVE their body to have fun. The world would rather just move their thumbs.
Highschools will stop wrestling teams, and start thumb wrestling.
Football teams will be disbanned and create paper football flicking leagues.
Baseball teams will fall apart and people will only play marbles.
