I think it all depends on how powerful next gen consoles will be, but there is no doubt (excluding dellusional Sony fan bo.... Loyalists) that PS4 and Sony is between a rock and a hard place - and those would be WiiU and x3ox. WiiU will be the weakest, but considering sonys weak finances the PS4 can't afford to be too expansive. This will result in PS4 being similar to WiiU in power, but slightly stronger. The x3ox on the other hand could be that beast of a console everyone is expecting. Why? MS's got the money. But this would also mean that 3rd party developers won't utilize x3ox full power since they're gonna port those games over from WiiStation. |
I think a lot of people are underestimating the costs of the tablet controller and how that money can be put back into the consoles silicon.
Without the money needed for the unconventional controller, Sony can put a bit more investment into the RAM, CPU or GPU whilst still keeping the costs down.

oh, i have no doubt about that ps4 will have more of everything, the question is though, will it pack enough of a punch so that wii u wont be getting good ports? the wii got gimped bastard versions, but will wii u suffer the same fate? or will it only have less impressive graphics?

I don't think there's going to be a PS4 until 2015. I'm just posting it now because I want to have a record of it when I refer back to this post years from now.

Actually I won't be surprised if sony uses the ps3 to compete against the wiiU and nextbox and skip this gen entirely.
As I said in my OP which no one read apparently, I should have known the attention span of vgc posters would not last the entire op.
The ps3 more than likely could receive any multiplat from the wiiu that doesn't use the gamepad in any meaningful way, so sony can continue to support the ps3 while still receiving 3rd party support. Even if MS comes out with a beast of a console, the baseline for these games would be on the level of ps3/wiiU graphics capablities leaving MS in the cold.
At least that's my take on it.
