| Play4Fun said: Well, for one thing, the most powerful console has never won its' generation. Graphics isn't something to try to differentiate your console with, because unless you launch two years or so after the competition, it will not be a significant enough jump. I doubt Sony could feasibly launch PS4 around the same time as the NextBox and blow it away. Heck, as we go on it's going to be harder for people to see graphics as having a big jump. It's mostly techies who look at tesselation, ray tracing and all that who will see it as a big jump. Most people don't care about such technicalities. The reason PS360 share similar games isn't really because of similar power. it's more because the industry is multi-platform now. More than it was before. It's going to be the same thing next gen. More power doesn't give you exclusives, first party and money-hatting does.

@ Bolded: Well, we have never really seen a system be a lot more powerful than all of the others in 1 Gen...Saturn, 64, and PS1 were about the same power wise, So was Gamecube, PS2, and XBox. PS3 and 360 have more power than Wii but again PS3 and 360 are the same. While each Gen had a slightly more powerful system it was never by a lot. I don't think Microsoft will go for power and Wii U doesn't seem to focus on power...if Sony does they could have an advantage with the "Core" market.
@ Under-lined: Yeah but if all 3 systems were different from each other then developers would make more exclusive games due to the pros and cons of each system.
PS3, 360, and Wii are unique only because of their unique exclusives. For PS3 and 360 thats not too much. PS3 has Bluray, 360 has Kinect, and Wii has nothing feature wise thats unique.
