The debate over the last few pages is interesting. I've noticed a few whispers over the last few years that have been largely ignored coming from Microsoft about them not being that interested in such a massive leap next time around. I've tried to find the articles in question but finding something you read from 2008/09/10 (or whenever the hell it was) when you can't even remember what website you read it on isn't exactly easy. There is this from the last few days though... http://www.businessinsider.com/next-xbox-may-be-profitable-on-day-one-2011-4
If they were to chase profit from day 1, then a massively advanced console would also come with a massive price tag, and they know that's not a good idea, so that would suggest a more moderate jump if they went that route.
Now, this of course is just a theory and is in no way guaranteed, but if they do go for a moderate jump in performance and the N6 is in the same ballpark, then Sony going for the massive jump again would leave them alone and awkward to develop for, not Nintendo.

There were articles that said MS was trying to decide wether they should send out a powerhouse or be more conservative. I'm betting they go more conservative, it makes more sense than alienating yourself to some third parties because they can't afford to develop on your hardware.
Of course those third parties can still up-port games to them from a less expensive to develop for console.

but you got to remember they are looking at a 2014 release that is like 9 years after the release of the 360 a conservitive console in 2014 could be a bigger jump than a powerhouse after just 4 years like the xbox to 360...

They say they're looking at a 2014 release but they'll be ready to launch as soon as they see wii 2 start to make an impact.
I'm betting they launch at 2013. They're not going to give Nintendo 2 years on the market by themsleves.

i bet aksi 2013 it will give them a year to year and half of no competetion
