So I saw one for handhelds so here goes the console one.We have heard tons of various rumours about the next gen consoles and one is already released. One has yet to be unveiled. Next Gen is coming. So lets break this into two categories first  in terms of sales. The other shall be best overall console. We all know that high sales don't make something the best. So who shall grab the iron throne? Will Nintendo remain in there position or will the other two snatch it away?

PS4 is obviously geared for it...but that doesn't mean it will happen. We will have a better idea after the Xbox 3 reveal.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Ya even after all these rumours, I still wouldn't count microsoft out just yet until the reveal.



Lancel is the true king, I'll hear nothing more!



Did you make up that microsoft one? I thought xbox was jump in.
Playstation is it only does everything.

Those might be company slogans you're quoting, not the product themselves.

I don't know, I'm not a seer. Wait till E3, then I might have an answer.

The microsoft one seems to be real. Ya they are the company slogans. Nintedo older slogan sounded alot cooler then there current ones lol.



PS3 has been gaining support so the Iron Throne may be its before gen 7 is done. PS4 will take it from the start methinks with their 4 major problems from gen 7 being solved (architecture, price, great online from the START, and date compared to MS). Also new advertising could really pay off for Sony as they clearly had the worst this gen and despite what some may think it really does make a difference (otherwise companies wouldn't pay for it). WiiU will be my hand of the King and I think it'll generally have the position once those 1st party titles come. Can't wait to play Mario Kart and SSB in HD for the first time! Also the gamepad and zelda seem like a natural fit since inventory management is one of my gripes with Zelda and just thinking of all the things they could do with puzzles.

Jump in is just for kinect....I suppose that is arguably 360's motto, lol.

It only does everything left a couple years ago. Last I remember it was replaced with Long Live Play

EDIT: maybe that is 360's slogan now?
