Well, considering the discussion that's been going on here now it's quite clear Xbox720 will be the most powerful next gen. They could easily make a console for $500 and sell it for $400 - something Sony won't be able to do because of the strong Yen. The PS4 would probably cost 35-40k to produce. If it costs 35k Yen to make it would probably get sold at $350 for a $56 loss, or at $400 for $6 loss. If it costs 40k Yen it'll get sold for $400 for a $64 loss, or sold at $450 for a $14 loss. Doesn't this sound plausible?

This clearly tells us only Xbox could have a major leap next gen. And if WiiStation is on par with each other I figure most games will get developed for these and get up scaled for Xbox3. Thoughts? Am I understanding the situation, or am I completely off?

This is pretty much what I've been thinking.  If WiiU and PS4 are in the same ballpark, with Xbox720 way out ahead in terms of power, then all multiplats will be made with WiiU/PS4 in mind.  This of course means that all the Xbox's extra power will only be utilized by 1st part.  Halo sure will look nice, everything else not so much.  With this in mind, there's no reason to power up the Xbox beyond the point of WiiS4 (yeah, I just went there).

So PS4 and Xbox3 come out a year later than WiiU, and offer almost nothing over them.  PS4 because Sony can't afford to, and Microsoft because it doesn't need to.  WiiU wins the gen again.

Yeah, I'm also starting to think that WiiU might take home this gen as well... 1 year head start, being able to play with the "big bois" power-wise, 3rd party support and (of course) superior 1st party games. Game. Set. Match.
