Yes, no one knows what the Wii U is capable of yet, and neither does anyone know what PS720 will be able to do... I do think that if the difference between WiiU and PS720 is rather noticeable, Wii U will not have much of a chance selling 3rd party games - and that will in the end hurt the consoles sales. But I agree that WW remake and X is looking gooood!

YEah, I don't think either of MS or Sony is willing to take a big hit this gen; maybe MS, since they seem determined to own the living rooms. I don't think Sony can take a hit of more than $50/console. But will this mean that they can't produce a console that is more powerful than Wii U?

I figure that most of CoD sales will be done on the PS360, and won't start to seriously shift until next year...

Yeah, PS2 and PS3 probably got a boost in sales because of DVD/Blu-ray, and PS4 will not have any features like that to sell it - buuut having said that, they did acquire Gaikai, meaning that game streaming could be a big push for the system...

Power is not the issue. Both PS1 and PS2 dominated the market and they were the inferior console.
They won because they knew how to appeal to the market. As in: it`s all about the games!

If MS does intent to capture that market is now with a high price and a better Kinect that they are going to do it.
Sony will put out a great console. The question is at what cost?

My idea is that the next CoD will also make most of its sales on PS3 and Xbox 360 and for, probably, a short term, Wii U`s sales will be second.

I don`t think streaming games will change anything. Take OnLive`s example. It was cheap but only a segment of the market had the right conditions to take advantage of that.

Yes, PS1&2 dominated because they had the bulk of the 3rd party support, and going in to this gen I don't see Wii U having that kind of support. PS3 and x360 arguably had the best and equal 3rd party support, and they have sold roughly the same amount of consoles, and I think we'll see a continuation of this going in to the next gen; PS720 having the bulk of the 3rd party support while Wii U is left on the side. This will mean that Wii U's sales will suffer, because all it'll have to offer is Mario and Zelda.

Just take a look at the very recent comment made by EA; they don't see Wii U as part of their internal gen 4; but PS720 is... PS720 will run engines that Wii U will not be able to, or at least not without compromises, and it is this that will hinder Nintendo to get good 3rd party support, and will cost them the generation. We'll be seeing GC all over again...
