| SaviorX said: Sony is in one of the worst spots imaginable right now, and will be going into the next generation. I don't think they can start first unless the PS4 is a Cell 1.5. They don't want to repeat what Sega did (poor Sega.......) 14 years ago. Microsoft will probably be the ones to go first again, but this time, their console would've had a good 6 years on the market, and developers would have confidence moving on. Has Nintendo ever gone first? They haven't before, and I think in order to avoid being underpowered again, they won't this time. The Wii HD's graphical power won't be as strong as the PS4 or the Nextbox I think, but the Difference will be like last generation (weak enough to port, but not so weak as to look radically different). But I think if Ninty did start first, that would catch the competition off guard and the momentum they go in with, coming off the Wii, could be enormous. They could win the "generation" before the competition even enters. |
They may have to go first. I think the key thing that could change the whole look of the game console race so far is going to be Natal. Mostly because the media pretty much foams at the mouth at the mention of it (which I think is one of the key reasons the wii took off like it did). If Natal actually takes off, Microsoft could be sitting pretty for a long time.
However, if Natal bombs, then I think we'll be seeing microsoft come out first. Thats what I think anyway.
