Sales legs

Hype (both continuing to build then to maintain)

3rd party support.

Making the system acceptable for western developers.
Making their online more robust for heavily online focused games.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

Getting 3rd parties on board and potentially being too reliant on the gamepad features to sell the system.

I think Sony and Microsoft will have more of a problem with that unless they can come up with something in 2018/2019 to keep sales momentum going. Last gen it was motion controls. If they're going to release consoes expected to have a half-life of 7-10 years they're going to have to have something in 5 or 6 years to keep sales going. After all, the Wii U 2 should be released around that time leaving the PS4 and 720 with underpowered hardware.
