But like I and others said in that other thread, there's no need for a $599 PS4 for the leap to be substantial. 

1. No expensive blu-ray drive this time around

2. It's coming at least 7 years after PS3 came out (8 years for 720 vs. 360). As a comparison, PS3 came 6 years after the PS2 and 360 came ~4 years after Xbox. People tend to forget this point.

3. Do you know how much tech has advanced in these years? 

Did you actually read Viper's YEN based costs for next-gen? A PS4 cannot be more than 10k over the Wii U without creating a scenario where they are $600 in NA/EU. With that in mind, there is no way Sony will have the tech that will be greatly more powerful than what Wii U already has with only a year difference between launches.

Wii U will be able to have 100% of the same games and game quality as its competitors.

All three next-gen are probably going to be considered around 5-8x more powerful than current gen vs the massive jump from PS2 to PS3.

Huh. Nothing here is grounded in reality. Wii U will be able to 100% of the same games? How so? 

Wii U 5x-8x more powerful than PS3/360? Huh


current PC GPUs are at least 24x more powerful than the one in the 360, so even if it's 5x-8x more powerful after 7 years, would you really be surprised? I still say the primary bottleneck is the RAM usage, IMO anyways.
