I do think Nintendo and Sony have a good chance to win next gen. but, if Microsoft starts a price war, Sony will be in trouble. And im pretty sure they will.
Sell the 720 for 100 less just like they did with the 360 (if not more). Microsoft will lose alot of money on each unit sold, but they can take that loss. Sony has their hands tied up. I'm sure they will come out with a reasonable price and console, but Microsoft is a dirty player.

As for nintendo, this head start they are having will make all the difference down the line. Even if they only sell 5 million Wii U's a year, they will already be near to 10 million by the end of this year.

MS care more about profits it seems. They're not willing to start price wars, just look at 360.

WiiU near 10m even if they only sell 5 millions a year? I see it at something like 7-8m perhaps, something that is easy to overcome if it keeps selling slowly.


Microsoft made sure to keep their system substancially cheaper than the PS3 this gen (50 to 100). Sony just didnt try to play the game, but im sure Microsoft would always lower the price by how much Sony would to keep beeing cheaper.

As for the Wii U, that was a pessimistic prediction by me. With Mario 3D + Mario Kart + Zelda WW by the end of the year and a slight price but, it will sell very well, and probably more than 5 millions a year, so you can pretty much expect around 10 million sold by the end of this year, while PS4 and Xbox will also to around 3 million. Especially if the rumours that the PS4 isnt going to release this year in europe are true.
