I've discussed multiple times why PS4 can't be a supercomputer compared to WiiU. They don't have the money to make that huge jump in technology that would be required to graphically blow away the WiiU and still make the console affordable. 599 US DOLLARS might have been steep but acceptable in 2005 when the economy was high, but things are different now. I personally believe that Nintendo is pushing the upper limits for what a family will buy at 350. Sony doesn't have the cash reserves to take a loss this generation, and I believe that MS is more obsessed with making a set top box that also plays games than it is pushing the tech envelope.
WiiU, or just a little better, will be par for the next generation.
