I keep seeing announcements for games that will be available for PS4/XB1 that will also be available for PS3/360. Very few games are next generation only. There just isn't enough of a boost in power for next generation consoles to make the games different enough. Don't get me wrong, PS4 and XB1 are a step up, but not like the differences between NES/SNES and PS1/PS2. They should have waited another year or two. They should have boosted the power of the systems a little more. There should be no trouble producing 60 FPS/1080p resolution at all.

PS3 would have ended up beating Wii--as it deserves--and people would not feel the need to buy more expensive consoles. Hey guys, I do like Nintendo, but the Wii is the worst system and idea that they ever produced, even if it did sell very well. It was not truly for core gamers and the motion fad was terrible. Wii U is actually a better system than Wii, but the casuals have moved on and it doesn't sell nearly as well. Miyamoto has finally revealed that they will focus on core gamers again. Smart choice Nintendo.

Anyway, PS3/360 gamers will not miss out on much over the next year or two, unless a moderate upgrade in graphics are really important to them. 

agreed they should of released this year all i keep seeing is re releases of last gen games TR, metro, tlou, halo, state of decay, saints row, sleeping dogs, beyond the list keeps going and the next gen games arent really next gen if there releasing on last gen HW

I agree wholeheartedly with you. If only it wasn't for all those publishers saying that they couldn't " innoviate" without more powerfull hardware. The release dates for the Ps4/ Xbox one should have been somewhere along the lines of fall 2015, that's the final holiday season were games are going to be mostly multiplatform with ps3 and Xbox 360.

Even if they waited another year of two there is no way every game would be 60fps/1080p.  When you make a console you have to balance power and costs, if you want 1080p/60fps on every game you can build your own PC.

If the consoles came out in 2015 then there would be cross gen games til 2016-2017...

In fall 2015 it won't be expensive to build a 1080 60fps console 

Yeah that's kind of annoying that they said they couldn't innovate. Then we get the same old COD, same AC, Batman has a car etc

I agree totally with the OP. About the Nintendo stuff too.

agree: next gen wasn't needed now
Disagree: wii still had great games like mario galaxy, whether you like motion or not

If the consoles were more powerful we wouldn't get the same games we have now, developers would have pushed the consoles further and the games wouldn't be 1080p/60fps.  Eye appeal is always gonna be more important than hitting 1080p/60fps.  Open world games like GTA6 that come out later in the consoles lifespan would never hit 1080p/60fps.  I can't even think of any open world game on conoles that has ever been 60fps except for Minecraft, maybe some other indies.

Welcome to the Wii U.
