@crono " I don't think marginally better graphics are going to sell PS4/720 over WiiU. Not in a down economy."

But you believe that Wii U will sell to people who already have a PS360 for marginally better graphics, or do you think they'll be interested in the controller. Im thinking controller, but the thing is you DONT know anything about SOny or MS next system, we have no idea what they have instore why assume that all it will be is marginally better graphics that WIi U? ANd if it does work for Wii U why not the other two

Based on what Epic has said as recently as May, what he suggests isn't incredibly far off:

Epic also basically said at Comicon (when they debuted Fortnite) that the true graphics enthusiasts are going to be gaming on their PCs next gen. 

Microsoft and Sony could still "up" their specs a bit, and we know that Durango and Orbis will be more powerful than WiiU, but in order to fully dwarf the WiiU next gen, you're talking expensive boxes that would generate a lot of heat.  And I think Microsoft and Sony know this.

Microsoft seems more focused on making a multimedia hub for the living room than pushing for cutting-edge power, and Sony is in no position to pull another PS3 situation this time around.
