I was skeptical about the PS3 but knew the Wii would do well.   Right 
now, I have the sense that the PS3 may be a sleeper -- that is, just 
slightly ahead of the curve, but not so much that the consumer will soon 
catch on.   I've seen Sony making some moves to make the Linux a shipped 
pre-installed feature and that's exactly what they should do.
