Looking at this from a gaming perspective...
As I said before, hardware is not going to be a leap from last gen as everyone expects. The business model that Nintendo adopted is a sounded template that I think you will see SONY and Microsoft follow.
...Guess there's nothing wrong with two [insert console here] duct taped together huh if it still has good games?
sidenote: Next gen is also why I want MS to improve their 1st party, as I believe it will be the deciding factor. If they don't improve it you will have Sony and Nintendo battling with Nintendo a slight edge on 1st party.
... I wouldn't mine seeing a more even playing field next gen for all 3 companies. =p
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
