MS because they'd love to launch before Sony again, Sony because they don't want MS to launch before them again and both because they're not going to give Wii-U two years alone on the market. How is launching new consoles 7-8 years after the current ones rushing? It isn't. And Sony and MS both know Nintendo are a threat. They compete in the same market as Nintendo, I don't see how they would "not be worrying over Wii U". There is no rumour saying Wii-U will be between $400 an d $600. No one is crazy enough to think that's the price range Nintendo is aiming for. The specs I gave were taken from GAFs speculation thread where they put info together from leaks and trusted sources. Nothing concrete but it's solid speculation. I don't understand why you would get into the discussion if you just plan to make a post and then bail out. |
Yea there's no way MS are going to allow the Wii U to be in the market for anything more than 1 year. They would probably never be able to catch up, I mean look at Sony, it took them so many years to get back up on par with MS and they are probably still losing money (or lost money until recently). Plus this time if Nintendo actually gets 3rd party support, MS is in trouble from a consumer standpoint.
Also the reason why MS is likely to release a new console by 2013 is because they are a tech company, so they don't just think of the present, they think and plan ahead for the future. They know the 360 is an old tech and their rivals are going to make their moves first to overtake them from the get-go next gen. So its in their best interest to release a new console before their competitors and get an upper hand while keeping the 360 relevant.
Also if they release in 2013, they can easily keep the 360 relevant for another year 2 alongside the new console and reach close to their goals of 10 years for the 360.
