There is talk about a need for a tech refresh, more horsepower and greater graphical capability. Developers have screamed they need 8 GB ram to do what they want.
But,what happens in the end if, despite the next Playstation and Microsoft consoles coming out with mega horsepower, the relatively underpowered WiiU, which just managed to bump up the current gen by economical margins wins out? What if Microsoft and Sony don't win and bleed a lot of ink and people actually go for the Wii U? In short, the screams for the 8GB of RAM that was demanded aren't what sells?
What happens if people are ok with marginal upgrade to what is today, but with a new screen and other tweaks? Or say that none of the above does well enough and say that iOS and Android stuff (sub $20 a piece) ends up being what sells?
What do you see the future holding if mass spike in horsepower doesn't pay for itself?

If the Wii U wins, expect gamers to be left in the dust and casuals to take over as the latter do not care about tech. If the Wii U wins, I can't see myself enjoying many future games.

But you're a PC gamer!
Or are you actually just TSUNDERE FOR CONSOLES?

Consoles, for now, rule the game market as they are so easy to use. Because of this, consoles will generally dictate the direction of games as there is more profit to be found in consoles than PC (with a few exceptions). Therefore if games go casual, it's likely that less core games will be developed. That'd suck imo.
Plus for local play PCs are naff-tastic. A decent console is always nice to have floating around for social times...
