Dreamcast had way better graphics than PS1 and Saturn at launch, Wii U has nothing with way better graphics than PS3 and X360 titles 6 months after launch.

But we all know why Dreamcast failed, because everyone was waiting for PS2 the same way everyone is waiting for PS4 and X720

Yeah, the DC's failures was more a fault of Sega's bad moves and their bad finances, Sony just capitalised on it. Insinuating WiiU will be DC'ed when PS4/720 launch is as laughable and silly as when people said it for DS, 3DS,  Xbox 360 or any other system that launched before it's competitors.


Wii U is selling worse than Vita and more competition won't help, "just wait until Wii U games come out" nextbox and PS4 will have their own exclusives too at launch and superior looking multiplats and games only made for those 2 consoles like The Witcher or Deep Down. Kinect 2 gimmick looks to be way more appealling to consumers than the gamepad gimmick. Nintendo Dreamcasted themselves.

Those two games (The Witcher 3 and Deep Down) won't simple be enough. And for what we know Deep Down might be a bad game or just average and not worth a new console (like most new IPs that come on a console's launch). 

Most games that have been announced for the PS4 and the rumored Xbox are going to be cross gen muliplats (Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed, CoD: Ghost, etc). Those are the type of games that sell consoles and all of them are available on consoles you probably already own. This means the potential new buyers are smaller than most people think, especially considering a price tag that will most likely be $400+ (not counting subscription base models, if there are any). For the PS4, unless you are a big fan of Killzone and Infamous (basically the Sony fanbase) there are no reasons to get the system at launch or 'launch window', no different from the Wii U. 

Granted this is based on what we right now as fact, there might be some games in the future, but for now that's speculation. 

So you're saying that PS4/720 will be the same reception wise like Wii U was? I dont agree but i kinda see where oyu are coming from.
