The PS3 will compete with the next Wii because the Wii 2 might not even be built to the high specifications of the PS3; it wont have blu ray, it might not have 3D - if they meet the PS3 on its hardware level then they create a console that is more expensive and in doing so eliminate their cheap and casual price consumer advantage. Nintendo wont create a console too powerful because they force their current users to pay more than they would for a PS3. the PS3 is NOT a super console, its outdated from a PC standpoint. but its stil expensive - which is why it will still be here for at least 4 years. people arnt going to pay more money for hardware specs they dont understand - unless they are PC enthuasists. the PS3 could well compete with the 720. if Microsoft release again next year or they wait 5 years and release at the same time as the PS4. if Microsoft make the console too powerful and they release again soon, they create a massive price gap between the PS3 and 720. however if they make the console only slightly more powerful then they create a competitive price point, but sacrifice the power threshold of their console to be able to compete. if they dont - they could end up in a Dreamcast/Saturn effect. so in a nutshell i think the PS3 will compete both price wise and technically with the WIi 2 and possibly the 720. depending on how Microsoft release their next console. |
The PS3 is not going to compete with the 720, get it out of your head. PCs are multiple times powerful than the PS3 is now and the 720 specs will easily be on par with what PCs are at now or even better. The PS3 isn't that much more powerful than the 360. Stop fooling yourself. Saying the PS3 will compete with the 720 is like saying the original Xbox could have competed with the PS3 graphically. The original Xbox was twice as powerful as the PS2 and still doesn't compete with this gen.
