People forget how much Blu ray increased the PS3 price back in 2006. My prediction is PS4/720 $400 Basic $500 Premium which is affordable.

You crazy bro? People complain about WiiU's price point ($299 and $349), so $499 is out of the question. And they can't afford to lose $100/sold PS4. It'll be $399 at most.

People complain about the Wii U price because they think its a glorified xbox360. The wii was a glorified gamecube with a new control and lauched for $250, I think people expected the same for the Wii U.

I had hoped it would be 4x more powerful, but as of late ppl have come out and said that that probably isn't the case - so I guess I undertand that complaint...

I am only buying one if it is 5 times more powerful, because I like making purchasing desisions based on worthless and incorrigible numbers.

Anything less than that and Nintendo can FUCK RIGHT OFF.

I'd rather have Sony wait until Holiday 2014 and release a $400 PS4 that is ~8x more powerful than the PS3 instead of releasing one holiday 2013 and at $400 and it being only 4-5x more powerful.

Of course GAMES are the most important part of it, but if next-gen consoles are going to last 7+ years again, I'd rather have one that is completely future proof.  I want to be playing a PS4 game in 2020 and still be wowed by not only the graphics but the gameplay.

There really is no such thing as a future-proof electronic device. There is no money to be made by selling you a product that doesn't make you open your wallet again; this is marketing doublespeak for the purpose of putting an arm around your shoulder and reassuring you that this company has your back. The next playstation will probably make way for a PS5, just as we are somehow speculating on a replacement for the future-proof PS3.

On a similar note: there is little to stop you firing up a game from 8 years ago and being impressed. This is a phenomenon which can happen even in spite of current technology and production values. Gaming has spent a good while building a tall, narrow mansion; now it's time to build some wings to display and ponder all the art it has collected.
