If WiiU gets decent ports though I don't see it not coming in first place next gen. As for casuals. Nintendo will be more affected if gaming continues to improve on tablets and smartphones than by the nextbox/ps4. I don't think the wii u will ever see sales similar to the 2007/2008 wii but if the 720/ps4 aren't significantly more powerful it should be able to have much better legs than the wii. Microsoft had a very good idea with introducing the kinect to try to steal casuals, but the result was rather meh for most games. Had they waited and launched the kinect alongside the nextbox after they fixed the delay issues, it would have significantly hurt wii u sales. But as it stands many casuals probably remember the kinect for its unresponsive games and that might influence them to not care about kinect 2.0. |
Thing is, can they afford to make their new consoles so powerful that they leave WiiU in the dust, only getting gimped ports? As it is right now, developing games costs a lot - and increasing those costs, is that really the answer? As I see it only MS has the money to take a huge leap in graphics. That would mean that both WiiU AND PS4 would get gimped versions, and that in turn would mean that 3rd party developers would rather develop for those the systems (less costs and bigger install base) and nextbox would therefore get ports of WiiUPS4 games...

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
