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.

Not the Wii divide, but still significant I believe

You are right, even if we assume that Ps4 will come out in the same period i think Sony an MS would still be able to sell a more powerfull console and being profitable. But I think we should focus on another aspect, now Wii owners have a reason to want a graphical upgrade, I don't know if the same applies for X360 and Ps3 owners. In the 5th generation we were accostumed to GoW1/GoW2/RE4 and GT4 graphics, so when we looked at Gears Of War / Resistance for the frst time it was a BIG leap. Now I think of the next-gen Unreal Engine demo recently shown
and compare it to Uncharted 3
I don't really see a great difference, at least not a difference that would tempt me to buy a new console. What I mean is that imo we have arrived at point (on homeconsoles) where an horsepower rise will not make such a big difference anymore. I may be wrong of course.

Next gen, smooth 1080p 3D that is what will be here, and I doubt that is what the Wii is aiming for
