| Kresnik said: I'd actually been wondering for a while if Sony were going to side with Nintendo on the power front next generation. Basically, this gen we had PS3 > 360 (but only slightly) >>> Wii. Nearly all multi-plats were developed for the HD twins. Next gen, what if it was Xbox >>> PS4 > Wii-U. Where would the third parties go then? Would they go straight to the most powerful, or would the hang back with PS4/Wii-U provided there was sufficient market share there? Or would, in fact, Xbox even go that much more powerful? What if all 3 consoles were just a minor increment more powerful than the HD twins? Wii-U would join the HD race; Sony would clean up and make a more approachable and multi-tasking console; Microsoft might be able to put some power aside for Kinect. Idk. Will be interesting to see how it plays out anyway. |
I'm glad other people are realising that. Its what i've been saying ever since the Wii U was first unveiled. The graphical difference between the 3 cant be huge, otherwise they cant compete in price.
And the scenario you described with the Xbox out of the loop, could happen aswell with the Playstation Orbis out of the loop if it turned out too powerful. Sont doesnt have money for that battle, so Sony has to stick to Nintendo. Its the only chance they have to compete with price and still be more powerful than the WiiU. Wether that power is significant or not is something were gonna see.
Microsoft aims at the same croud Nintendo does (the living room), so its garanteed they will ship with kinect for that end. The difference here is, microsoft can also make a powerful system with that and sell it at a huge loss cause umm... they have the money for that.
