This is all well and good and I look forward to their reveal but what is Sony's recent obsession with power? PS1 & 2 were not the most powerful but they did amazingly well. PS3/Vita were and look where that got them. Last place and huge losses. Gaming history has shown the most powerful system has never ever won any generation either handheld or home and usually leads to big losses (Xbox, PS3). Sony is not even in a position to be playing this type of game anymore.
If they allow MS to undercut them on price with similar specs they'll have lost another generation. Why Sony? Why? |
Well, a lot of the costs last time around were for the Blu-ray... And what else can they do? They can't have similar specs as Nintendo, because then they'd both get the same 3rd party support and Sony would get destroyed by Nintendos 1st party games... They need to compete with MS, as MS need to compete with Sony; they can't face off Nintendo on equal terms

its actually the other way around, nintendo releases weaker hardware to keep the price down so they dont go head to head with sony. when they go head to head sony crushes them. case in point PS1 vs n64 and PS2 vs gamecube. nintendo knows they need to make them selfs different or they will get crushed. the PS4 will be this powerfull so it can provide a leap from ps3, if it didnt provide any significant one people will flock to xbox720 or continue buying ps3

This is actually a very interesting discussion. I will agree that that used to be the case, and that's why we got the Wii. But now, when 3rd parties have gone multiplat... Just look at how MS went head to head with Sony, and did it VERY successfully. It's all thanks to multiplats. Now, imagine if Nintendo made a console equal to that of Sonys and MSs - THAT'S a fight I wanna see! Nintendo hopes and believes that WIi U will have enough power to do just that; me, I'm not so convinced...
