The PS4 is set to dominate. It won't have to catch up to the Xbox anymore, Sony will be smart enough to launch it at a decent price, Xbox3 will have a hard time when it launches at the same time and price as the PS4.

The WiiU is not a threat, there is significantly low hype for the WiiU. Nintendo won't have the casual crowd it gained with the Wii.


What logic is that? I'm a Sony fan and don't like the 360 (I actually owned one at some point but it just wasn't for me) but seriously... Microsoft is in a way better position this time. When the 360 launched they were still a newcomer and the Xbox hadn't sold gangbusters. This time Microsoft is more successful in the US, has way more money to spend and can undercut Sony on price (no matter what price Sony launches the PS4 at, Microsoft can release the same console for less money). If anything it's Microsoft that will be smart enough this time not to repeat the RROD fiasco. 

Your logic is fundamentally flawed. Sony is the company that can't compete in a head to head battle. Sony will have a hard time to match Microsoft's price point, not the other way around. This is direct competition, in which the bigger company always has an advantage. It's business 1-0-1. Microsoft can undercut Sony the same way Sony could undercut Nintendo in 1995 - the bigger company has more resources and direct competition is always a battle of resources. 

So what if you're a Sony fan?  Do you think MS really can undercut Sony on price and not lose money? Do you expect them the money they lost on RROD to lose on undercutting the ps4 this time? Their xbox adventure still hasn't been profitable and I think MS is getting fed up with that. The 360 had a year headstart and was way cheaper than PS3. It was the reason 360 was so popular. People buy whats cheaper. MS was not a newcomer anymore when the 360 launched, its their 2nd console, Sony's 2nd console was the PS2.
Sony can't compete in a head to head battle, huh? The last time that happened was between PS3 and Wii. It seems your logic is flawed, neither the Wii vs PS3 nor the PS1 vs N64 comparison proves your point. The N64 launched in 1996 and 97 in EU while PS1 in 95. The Wii was immense popular at launch due to the motioncontrols and PS3 being 600 dollaz and supply constraints.How do these launches relate to 720vsPS4? Do you expect PS4 to launch a year later? Do you expect a Wii like 720 and a PS4 at double the price?

And lol, if those rumors about Kinect 2 being bundled with every 720 is true you can forget dreaming of MS putting a comparable console at the same price, it just won't happen.
