it's clear that WiiU is more powerful than 360, and it's normal, 360 stands up really, really good for a 6 year old console

Trine 2 and Pikmin 3 look amazing

the thing now is that Sony/Microsoft have to make beast consoles to repeat what happened with Wii and 3rd parties

WiiU is going to sell anyway, Mario and his games are way too popular now, if GTA V and CoD could just be shared with Us : P


Actually, I remember Sony announcing some time ago that their console "won't" be that much more powerful than Nintendo's. I do believe they learned their lesson about relying on nothing but specs.

It will be easier for them this time to have high specs and keep the price down. No expensive blu-ray drive. 

Plus, they are releasing at least a year after Nintendo's console. I expect a significant jump.


Then you are expecting Sony to have a told a lie about thier on own intentions. They are not aiming for a powerhouse any more from all that I have a gathered.


It would be wise as well looking at the state of not only the PS3, but also Vita.

Who said that by the way? Sony should definitely go for power, because it doesn't matter what Sony would do, it would just be a Nintendo ripoff.


The PS3 was the first console from Sony that wasn't the weakest. The PS3 was an oddball move for Sony. I doubt that will conintue that route seeing as it cost them so much already.

I will have to find the reports but it was from Sony itself.

This is the best I coud locate about it, but it seems that it will pretty much be an enhanced PS3 specwise.

 

The statement in quesiton

"The PS4 will also continue to utilize the existing CELL architecture, rather than launch something brand new. Bravo, says me, because forcing developers to effectively pick up and move from their established country to Timbuktu every half a decade is a surefire way to cripple launch cycles and leave "un-anointed" third-party developers out in the cold. What’s more, a twice-powerful PS3 would almost certainly offer enough "oomph" to keep the plaudits coming from the hardcore faithful, while allowing Sony to more vigorously reach out to the Nintendo "casual" market with a steady stream of cheap-to-develop titles.


So no, the PS4 will not have a 6 core processor with twice as much ram as the dude was trying to insist earlier.


That's not really true. The PS1 urinated all over the Saturn in polygon performance and supported some effects in hardware that the Saturn didn't like proper transparencies. 2D wise the Saturn was far better but at that time 2D was very much out of fashion and proper open worlds weren't really possible on the Saturn except much later from 1st party studios where they squeezed every last bit of juice out of it.

The N64 came out much later than the PS1.

 

The PS2 was also the most powerful console available at it's release.

The PS3 on the otherhand could easily be called equal or even inferior to the Xbox 360 on release, it's only been it's exclusives that noticeably look better than Xbox 360 exclusives.

 

So kinda the opposite of what you say is true, although I'm just being annoying and OT so....uhh...yeah.
