Looking at the Wii U and what people are predicting what Sony and Microsoft will do with their next gen consoles, I am curious as what would be in store for us the generation after Wii U. It is quite evident by console history that power is not everything. By the time it is the next generation for consoles, maybe we will see ourselves out of a recession? Think we might see more systems like the Ouya popping up? Will iOS gaming (app gaming and whatever) really replace the handheld dedicated gaming consoles?
The Wii U, regardless of all this positive/negative news, is a system I am still interested in and am planning on getting. |
Power is becoming increasingly important these days. Look at what happened to the Wii.
Consoles needs A LOT more power so they can really distance themselves from those free iOS games. It's the only way $60 retail boxed games can continue to lead the industry. I dread a day where free games like Angry Birds or Temple Run dominate the gaming industry.

Yep the lack of power got it 97 million units in sales. Should have been weaker.

Don't try being a smartbutt. :D
Yes, Wii sales are impressive, but 3rd party support isn't. Look at the biggest franchises of this generation. Most of them aren't on the Wii. The ones that are(like Call of Duty) are extremely dumbed-down.
Now, things seem to be better for Wii U, it all depends on how these games sell. Everyone knows that Nintendo 1st party games cannabalize everything else. It is a family oriented console and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
