Not if Microsoft also wait 3 Years to launch a new console

So it doesn't matter if the PS4 fails as long as the 720 also fails. How vengeangful of you.
|
Just because Nintendo launch a new console doesn't mean Sony and MS have to jump in straight away.
|
I'm sorry but it does. the year headstart was one of the major things that helped the 360. Nintendo already have so many advantages coming into this generation, MS and Sony can't give them this as well. Sony will likely end up releasing 6 months after Ninty (as I predicted above) and even that is going to serious decrease their chances of success.
|
Also, head starts aren't always recipes for success, as the Dreamcast proved. And PS4 launching 6 months after Wii's successor (assuming they do launch fall 2012) would be far too premature considering PS3's still $299.

This situation is not analogous to the Dreamcast
1) Nintendo is in a much strogner financial position than Sega was.
2) Nintendo has a lot more goodwill from customers and developers than Sega did at the time
3) The dreamcast was released 4 years, 5 days after the Saturn. That is equivalent to the Wii 2 having launched in Nov 2010
