| Totaldemon said: its more likely to see sony failing hard in this next generation after the fail they made in this current gen if they dont change something, ps3 at last place and we all know what vita is, a big F also connectivity between people and social features are very important features for the next gen, Miiverse is going to be like the Facebook-twitter of the Wii U users i think it will be real nice to meet other people and help each other and things like that. if sony goes again with its simple box full of hardware with classic controler and nothing more they are dead once again unless they have any innovation, because a console only focused on "hardcore" will never win again in the current times even more if its expensive i see next-gen going like this MS>Nintendo>>>>>>Sony |
I kind of disagree. Microsoft has to be the one a bit on edge going into next generation. The Xbox 360 launched a full year ahead of the other consoles and yet had by far the lowest sales rate. Now, imagine if the 360 had launched at the same time or even a year later? It would be trailing the other two by several million units. That sales rate just isn't very good, especially considering the PS3's horrible launch.
I think it's more important for Microsoft to beat the PS4 to market by at least six months.
Microsoft and Sony will both know by the time they enter the next gen if the Wii U has managed to reproduce the Wii's viral sales with the casual market. That might shape how aggressive they are with marketing, and who they "go after". If the Wii U doesn't go viral, then there will be plenty of room on the console market for all three companies.
