Will PS4 and NextBox launches suffer same fate as WiiU?

I think cross gen titles will help. Who wouldn't want to have the awesome graphically enhanced version?

Thats true but, most people won't spend $400+ just for prettier graphics. From that article, "63% of current Xbox 360 owners waited at least THREE YEARS [+ two months]  after  the 360 launched, before buying an Xbox 360".

Well of course a high percentage of of people wait until a few years have passed before buying. Haven't you seen the sales? These consoles didn't sell 75 million right after their launch.

Ignore data like that, it is obvious and isn't actually supporting the issue of cross gen titles being available. What you want to compare is how much appeal would the new systems have if they didn't have those games. It would be worse if Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed IV, etc. were not on the new systems. They would be relying on a much smaller line up of launch software, and don't go into the hypothetical that these games would just be next gen only titles. Next gen consoles have only been available for development for so long, that and figure in the install base the older system has. Majority of publishers if they had to choose would have released it on last gen than next gen. Cross gen makes it acceptable to do booth.
