Ok, well back to being friendly now :D
I'm just saying that PSN and WiiU are really starting to become "capable" online gaming consoles. Remember, it's not about being the best, it's about being enough for the average user. That is for sure one thing we have learned this generation. Sony and Nintendo were never good enough in the past 3-4 years, but they're certainly well on their way to capability and branded identification within 6-12 months.
When this happens, presumably before the next generation, it is going to pose a problem for transitional adopters. Like exclusivity-loss this gen, the question of "what do you need in a console" is slightly more blurred now that they've caught up.
What I reference here is, I guess, similar to sunk cost fallacy, meaning that a user wouldn't likely switch from one console to another to save money, but when the investments would be lost regardless (next gen transition), that older competitor may have more of an effect on the decision making process, because the question changes from "do I switch everything over" to "what do I choose to be the new standard".
