1. But Pachter goes as far to say that the disappointing hardware sales won’t be relieved unless Nintendo cuts the price of the Wii U.



2. “The Wii U is not going to be very competitive if Sony and Microsoft launch comparable consoles at comparable prices,” explained Pachter.   

1. price won't help hardware, software will.  Doesn't matter if the Wii U is free.  It needs games.  You can't do anythign with a Wii U without games.  (well actually you can these days, but nothing you already don't have in your house)

2. Don't you love when someone says something is gong to fail to another when we don't even know what the other is yet.  The other could be an exact copy of the wii u.  We have no idea yet, yet he is already claiming they are better.  

Yup, no idea what so ever, except for almost all the specs through leaks & many many rumors pointing to atleast one of them launching this holiday.

please tell me these things about the PS4 and 720

1. What is the controller like?

2. What are launch games?

3. What is the launch price?

That's all I care about.  Couldn't give a shit about whether it has 2 gb of ram or 4 gb of ram.  Or whatever teraflops and other specs you want to toss at me.  Those things will equate to ZERO sales.  It's the three things I listed above that will matter.

1- Well microsoft is building the Kinect in to the 720 in addition to a "traditional controller" & Sony is rumored to be moving away from the Dualshock, so who knows/cares because those systems sell for their games, not control innovation, which leads to...

2- Games.  Of course no games have been confirmed, but next generation games like Watch Dogs & Starwars are strong early contenders in addition to up-ports of current generation games like GTA5.  And let's not forget the first party IP's.

3- It's been rumored that they will both launch at or under $400, and perhaps as low as $200 with a contract like cell phones use to lower price.
