Ah, the xbox720 and PS4... I hope that people here are aware of the fact that, if MS and Sony want to launch a significantly stronger console with a similar control scheme in one year's time, they would have to either jack up the price to $500-$600 (which went great for Sony last time) or sell the console at competitive price, but with a significant loss (which I doubt Sony could handle once again, only maybe MS).


Not necessarily true. You can build a PC today for 200-300 dollars that can completely annihilate PS360 in raw technical power. A 300-400$ console in future 2013 or 14 can be significantly more powerful than today's consoles.

This is a £300 (maybe $400) that easily beats this gen consoles, then if you consider optimisation, it will be a huge jump, especially if you consider discounts for mass production


Please note "similar control scheme" part. It is probable that both Sony and MS will make an answer to tablet controller. Wether they will opt for such an approach is yet to be seen, but as with kinect and move we can expect that they will answer nintendo in some form. While project glass and vita connectivity is nice (and probably usable as the second controller), they must implement touchscreen gamepad if they want that developers implement the functionality it into most games. And touchscreens + video streaming tech cost money.
