Nintendo did Wiimote so they did Move, Nintendo does SSBB so they did PSAS, Nintendo does Mario Kart so they did LBK and Nintendo has Mario so they tried to make Sack-boy a mascot. @ Happy Squirrel I would say Microsoft will push Kinect 2.0 as a point of uniqueness and leverage their networks and software/OS talents to make the Nextbox stand out whilst using things like Smartglass to ape Nintendo's Wuu Pad. |
That sounds like a very disjointed strategy ...
Kinect and a 3D eye-toy are essentially the same idea, smart-glass has more in common with PS-Vita/PS3 connectivity than it does with the Wii U tablet, the PS4 and XBox 720 are likely going to retain conventional controllers for "core" games, Sony and Microsoft are likely going to continue focusing on online gameplay and ignoring local multiplayer, and both systems will likely be more powerful and more expensive than the Wii U. Essentially two companies executing the exact same strategy against another company that has a different vision.
