Well it's minimum power will be PS360 level, so the easy thing to do for devs will be to take those games

But I think we all know that Sony and M$ will blow Nintendo out of the water in terms of power

I disagree.

You need to read my other Nintendo thread (see link in sig), but MSony have learned a valuable lesson about $600 consoles that sell for a loss vs $250 systems that sell for a profit and are marginal upgrades from last gen.

MSony will only show a 5-6x performance increase over this gen as compared to the 10-15x they saw against last gen. They will want to launch around $400 max with a profitable or near profitable system (no $200plus loss per item).

They won't want to wait 3 or more years to begin making a profit on the hardware. They will want to be at that level immediately or within its first year.

Well they will almost certainly not be out until 2013, so that will make easier to beat Nintendo in a power perspective

Not significantly. That's the point.
