How I See Next Gen Playing Out

I see both the PS4 and Nextbox stumbling out of the gate. Highly priced powerful consoles aren't going to sell when there are next to no exclusive games for them. If you paid attention a few days ago, you will have noticed that third parties will make multiplatform games for seventh and eighth generation consoles, meaning there will be almost no incentive to buy PS4s and Nextboxes during their first year on the market.

Meanwhile, the Wii U is going to look more attractive come November. It will cost less and offer more exclusive software. However, third party support might once again not arrive and the Wii U beating the PS4 and Nextbox for a year or two will easily be offset by longer tails for these consoles due to superior third party support.

From what I know of all consoles so far, I don't see any real winner, because they are all taking a dangerous direction. High costs coupled with slow sales are a dangerous combination for profitability.

On a final note, I'd like to call myself pretty amazing. Here's your thread for handheld predictions:

Did you have to bring that thread up? I'm probably the only person in the world who (slightly) overestimated the 3DS to PSV sales ratio. And I actually wrote an s after the apostrophe in "goodness'".

Also, it reminds me how nice I am to Sony fans for not stuffing Vita's failure in their arrogant faces more.
