Did the Wii U force Sony to cut how much power the PS4 will have?

What if the Wii U doesn't sell well and Sony releases a more powerful console for $300/$350 and Nintendo slashes the price by $70. I say Sony is DOOOOMMED. Nintendo Flawless Victory!

I'd be happy with that. Sure the playstation would probably sell only 3 million in its first eight months but it would be a powerhouse.

Seriously I thought this sight was mostly Sony fans and yet only like three of us want a beast. I've predicted for years that it will be $450 and by using a Vita approach with off the shelf parts that could mean upwards of ten times what the PS3 can do. Please Sony, make my eyes bleed!

PS3 managed to sell ~4million within 8 months at $600 launch price. I'd say a $300 PS4 would easily sell near double that.

The Wii in comparision sold near 10mil within the same time frame and that launched at $250.
