I step into this thread and find people wasting their time arguing with a Sony fanboy.

Why do people waste their time like this?

Who, psrock? He clearly favors Sony, and he makes no bones about it, but he's hardly a fanboy.

He just makes arguments without taking the market and tech into account.

PS4 will be a powerhouse, 10-20x more powerful than Wii 2. What about development costs? What about not wanting to bleed to much money like they did this gen? How do they put the kind of tech required for that in a box without melting it due to overheating?

And then there's teh DreamCast thing. Most people seem ignorant on what caused Sega's downfall. The early launch was only a small part of it.

It's Sony we are talking about right? 

Sony always want to drive technology, trust me by 2013 when this thing comes out, tablets will be more powerful than PS3 or 360. If you think Sony is not going to be cutting edge, then you are not paying attention to this company. 

I owned the Dreamcast, I know why it fell apart, the games were amazing, but even had Sega stayed in the market, the Dreamcast could never compete with the ps2 when it comes to support. 

Hardware power isn't the only way to push technology. have you seen NGP? Do you see the areas it pushes technology in? Sony will send out a powerful console but they will have to be more conservative because of problems third party devs are going through and they  will push tech into other areas, like system features and 3D.

How many devs do you see pushing PC hardware? IF Sony comes out with something as powerul as high end consoles (they can't because of overheating) devs aren't going to try to push it. They will develop on less expensive hardware and upport to their console.

We're not going to see consoles at $599. I doubt we'll see them at $499. $399 max or $450 if they want to push it.

Next gen will probably be less of a power battle and more of a feature battle.

Sony isn't stupid (except for PS3 =p) they don't just pack hardware into a box and release it. They analyse the market.

I'm sure the've learnt their lesson from PS3.
