We have a pretty good idea of what the Wii u can do. And it seems it could us a little more power, got to remember it's powering two screens, and if they want another game pad. That's even more power its going to need. Sony can afford a good leap, high end parts are cheaper than ever. Sony is moving away from the one off chips in favor of off the shelf parts that will be used and sold in millions of other devices. Look at the vita for example, sure it's cutting edge now. 6 months from now it won't be, those very same parts will be sold in tables and cell phone by all the major manufactures. What is this going to do? Drive down the cost of the parts and in turn drive down the cost of the vita. We could see 100 dollars cut off the vitas price by the end of 2013. Sony's assets alone are worth more than Nintendo. So don't be fooled, they have money.  

 

How do we have a good idea of what the WiiU can do? The PS3 launch games look nothing like its current games. Look at the Vita for what, whatever price cut it can get so can the 3DS. The PS4 is being doubted because Sony's past victorys came from 3rd party games not the price tag, or have you forgotten Ninty's consoles were cheaper? If they had money then the Vita would have received a price cut to increase its horrible sales or do you seriously believe Sony is ok with its terrible performance?

Reading comprehensions is your friend. They may not be okay with it, but there sure aren't going to be okay with dropping the price so quickly and losing money on the systems. Nintendo made a knee jeark reaction to get the sale of the 3ds up to current levels and lost a bunch doing so. Theres no reason for sony to do the same. Ps3 was in the same sittuation and look where it's at now. the up side is sony has started to fill their stables with quality exlusives, they were more than willing to take risk to get new games out, and that has put them in a better sistuation for next gen. So what's you point? The game cube was dirt cheap and still couldn't manage to reach good sales even with Mairo. Look around the web and you'll see, theres plenty of people giving their impressions and developers and most of the aren't good. Victory from 3rd party? Well guess what Nintendo doesn't have? And really, there hasn't been a sony systems that we can consider a flop yet. Not one has sold as low as the Gamecube or 64. So your doubt is unfounded. What are you going to say when the PS3 passes the wii?
