Sony/Microsoft Could Make Nintendo Very Uncomfortable This Holiday

But if it were to happen I see Nintendo in deep shit...

There is no way on God's Green Earth that Sony will release the PS3 for ANYTHING less than $400, and it will most LIKELY be more than that, upwards of $500 for the "Deluxe" model, etc. You don't tout a top of the line set of hardware like they were bragging about, and release it for $350. It will not happen, and was never even a consideration.

 

However, JUST to humor the ridiculous idea of "What If", no,  I do not think that even in THAT case, would NIntendo be in "Deep Shit". Why? Because again, by Holidays 2013, Nintendo is going to have a much more robust library available, including most likely the next Mario Kart, and possibly even the new 3D Mario, as well as the HD remake of Wind Waker, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Lego City Stories, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, etc. etc. as well as (HOPEFULLY) Dragon Quest X being out in NA by then.

Point being, even IF the PS4 were cheap, which it won't be, and even IF they do manage to live up to their "amazing launch lineup" mantra, Wii U will have plenty of titles of it's own that people are going to want. And given that the PS4 WON'T be less than $400, I think Wii U will be fine.

I was talking in the long run... If the PS4 is launched with a $349 price tag it would be seriously competitive, and if you add all the 3rd party games it'll have that Wii U WON'T have... It becomes quite clear that Wii U will be another N64/GC for Nintendo (I'm guessing 40m units sold in total - or there about)
