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?

You're a bit off imo. Xbox 3 will probably not be first in power if Kinect 2 comes with every box, if it doesn't I think the PS4 will almost definitely be a significant jump over the Wii U, but Xbox 3 has a good chance of being a significant jump over PS4.

I'm basing that conclusion on the discussion you had with Viper1 (one of the best I've seen around here really - I learned a lot!). MS has the cash to push a monster console, SOny simply can't do that imo.

I agree, but if Microsoft spend say $100 of their "budget" on packing a kinect 2 in with every system, it'll put them on similar grounds to Sony concerning the amount spent on the actual console.

Aaah yes, but as someone wrote here not long ago kinect 1.0 actually was a stripped down version, so 2.0 shouldn't be too expansive... If this is true that is! But they could sell it separately or have different SKU's... or they'll just lose $200 thinking they'll make it back in the long run (and this will of course see them exiting the HW business ;))

There's almost no chance that Microsoft will exit the hardware business, even if they fail this generation.  Sony, on the other hand, might.

Yeah, they really want that media hub in our living rooms...
