I think the 720 and PS4 will fail sales wise if there is no hook

I think the mass market will find the new consoles boring without a new control scheme or a new form of gameplay. I know gamers on forums love awesome graphics but the fact is the mass market could care less. Just look at the sales of the Wii and Nintendo handhelds. At least Wii U has the touchscreen gamepad and asymmetric gameplay. What new will Microsoft and Sony bring to the table?

I don't know what you're trying to say. PS360 have sold more than Wii. So the general public do seem to care about awesome graphics.

took the words out my mouth

come on Nintendo fans, it's time to leave the vaccum and face reality

Yeah, the 3DS being almost "a generation behind" the PS-Vita is hurting its sales ... The reality is that everyone likes better graphics but it is really tertiary concern. Given the choice the self proclaimed hardcore gamers would rather play a good First Person Shooter made for the Dreamcast than an excellent dance game for a bleeding edge PC. When it comes to buying a system the type, quality and quantity of the content matters far more than the technical impressiveness of the content; and the cost of the system actually matters more than the technical capabilities of the system (to an extent). People are happy to pay $300 for a system and many people will accept $400, but people would rather have a system that had less power and was less expensive than $400 than have a more powerful system that cost over $400.

 

ignoring the fact that everything you said has nothing to do with anything going on in this thread, I agree on all accounts...
