How will the next generation of consoles be received, I wonder... since they may be the first generation to be less powerful than the last?
Sony and MS cannot "up the bar" on themselves for eons, due to the huge costs involved in creating a console, let alone one superior (and cheaper) to the X360 or PS3. Sony and MS are very likely (IMO), to release the same hardware, or even lesser hardware tailored to the "blue ocean", in the next console generation, thanks to the Wii's success.
I sincerely doubt even the Wii's successor will be more powerful than the PS360. The Wii has a LOT of room to grow before needing to pass that threshold. How will the next generation be perceived by "hardcore" gamers, if my statement turns out to be true?
