Release a powerful gaming console for $400+, lose $100+ for every unit sold, and continue with conventional controllers and user interface devices. When you start to consider the possibility that Microsoft might be aiming to sell the "XBox 720" with an advanced version of Kinect for $400 without losing a significant amount of money, or that Sony may be following a similar approach, it should be clear that processing power would be scaled back to reduce the manufacturing cost of the system by well over $100. |
The point here is that Wii U is much more powerfull than his antecessor. If MS or Sony released a new console that was just an incremental upgrade over their existing ones, it would bom hard, really hard. Honestly, I expect PS4/X720 to be complete beasts.
