Damn! That's a first for Nintendo!!! Just another evidence that PS4 won't be much stronger than WiiU

PS4 will be much stronger than Wii U.

Let's take a look at WHY the Wii U will be sold at a loss shall we?

1. Wii U gamepad.(this alone is killing Nintendo's profits). If there was no Wii U gamepad, this Wii U could easily be sold for a profit at $300.

Tha'ts all I can think of right now. It's the morning :)

It will be stronger but not by the level a lot of gamers are assuming.   Look at the exchange rates I listed above.    Even if Sony were to make a ¥40,000 system, they'd have to sell it in the US for $500 to keep from posting a loss.  Sony can't afford to take major losses this time and because of the economic status of currency exchange rates, it won't be a massive powerhouse jump.   Again, I agree that it will be stronger than the Wii U, but nothing like the PS3 to Wii was as many people assume it will be.
