| Galvanizer said: Wii U is almost out but we haven't seen PS4 and 720. It kinda makes me think that Wii U is releasing too early and will go the way of the Dreamcast when it released before PS2/GCN/Xbox. What do you guys think? |
They are releasing on schedule... following the 5-to-6-year console life cycle.
The HD twins both shot for 5+ year life cycles and with already being HD, they need clear differentiator to make their next offering successful. If they can't come up with some successful game changer innovation in the video game experience, they wont be very successful in beating their own consoles, let alone Nintendo's new one.
There is also the issue of cost per performance. Sony can't be an idiot and expect to be successful with a $600 launch price. The Xbox-Next will clearly release with a XBL 2-year subscription subsidized price plan. Lastly, no matter how good the hardware, it wont be worth anything until they have truly stand-out compelling hardware to show for it.
What high-end game on PC can't be played on current consoles with marginal differences that don't effect overall quality/value of game?
