I cannot believe Generation after Generation after Generation has shown us the most consumer friendly console has shown to ALWAYS be the most successful, but we have people like the 2 guys above who really believe that power plays any kinda roll in the success of a console.

you graphic whores are delirious.


Shouldn't the Dreamcast have beaten the PS2 by this metric?

I think Wii U is honestly competing more against the existing XBox 360 and PS3 which I don't anticipate going anywhere in the next 3 years.

You'll probably see a division of the game industry, with the Wii U/PS3/360 + Kinect on one end, and then the PS4/720 on the other end for more high budget types of games and PC quality ports.

How is Dreamcast more consumer friendly than the PS2?

He said the most consumer friendly console is the most successful, not the weakest one.


That's kind of a cop out arguement then because you can always say after the fact which ever platform won was the most "consumer friendly".

I'm not even sure if I'd say the Wii "won" this generation. Yes maybe in terms of units sold, but the XBox 360/PS3 have had much more vitality into their later years and seem to have much more active software development and developer support. The Wii had three very explosive years off the top and then has really levelled off.

Lets wait and see if casuals are as impressed with a traditional controller + a touchscreen as they were with the Wiimote six years ago. I have my doubts about that. Wiimote was a revolution to non-gamers ... but today that market has all types of options and I don't think slapping a touchscreen on a traditional controller replicates what the Wiimote did for the Wii.
