| Veknoid_Outcast said: However, I agree with you Danne about this: if either Microsoft or Sony try to make a super-powered console and the other chooses to be closer to the Wii U in terms of power, I think the super-powered console will suffer. |
This, this and this. If either of them make a juggernaut of a console and the other one doesn't, then that console is going to suffer greatly.
And if Sony "can't" afford to make a juggernaut, then that leaves it up to one company. Who may or may not, I'm not really too fussed what they do :P
@ the people saying "Why would Sony release a console like Wii-U when they already have PS3?"
Maybe the won't. But I don't think it's going to hurt them to release an easier architecture system. I think they've learnt that lesson from the PS3, as demonstrated by Vita, and PS4 will be relatively easy to develop for. And have a more traditional division of RAM, so on and so forth. They need to get rid of the poor quality PS3 versions of things and the only way to do that is release a new, redesigned system. Even if it is only a nominal step up, the effect could end up being quite drastic.
