That wasn't directed at you specifically. You said the price would stay the same, though.

You also said: "they said the same thing about ps3 vs wii , ds vs psp , 3ds vs vita." as if the WiiU vs. PS4 would be a repeat of those situations. That is about as likely to happen as Edward Snowden being allowed into America. Even if PS3 will outsell PS4 for some weeks, that is not comparable to the Wii vs. WiiU situation because PS3 is seeing much stronger sales than Wii has done for several years. You have to factor in that the price difference between PS3 and PS4 isn't that high. PS3 goes for $269 to $299 I think in America. I see a price drop lowering it to perhaps $229 or so. But again, PS4 doesn't need to outsell PS3 to outsell WiiU.

I said that simply because people seem to always repeat themselves for years now "sony will beat nintendo" there is no other option ever(I think thats totally out of control and crazy) so thats my counter argument lol evrything seems to be a fact and there cant be no other way there are no options never ever. even you say "Even if PS3 will outsell PS4 for some weeks" you say this as it is almost a fact...why weeks ? why not for some time or months or days if you want. thats my point. you probably meant something else maybe im mistaken i dont know im just saying to prove my point but its out of control adn everyone needs to calm down take a deep breath and realize price is not everything... the market is big and no one knows anything.

I didn't say it as a fact. I consider all possible scenarios. PS3 outselling PS4 at least for some weeks is a likely scenario. Especially since GT6 is coming to PS3 late this year, and possibly a price cut. That doesn't change much for the PS4 vs. WiiU battle, though, because PS3 has outsold WiiU by something like 5:1 this year already.

WiiU's situation just isn't comparable to 3DS's, DS's or Wii's. Not in the slightest. Here we have a console that has been breaking record lows week after week vs. consoles that were successful right of the gate, or in 3DS's case, not quite successful enough in Nintendo's eyes but still with decent sales. 

But keep in mind that I am not predicting the outcome of this generation in this thread lol. I am merely saying that Nintendo need to drop the price to combat the PS4 near its launch...and next year too. PS4 will be really, really, popular right out of the gate. I think that much can already be claimed.

i said almost as a fact as if you want it to be so. dont you think a likely scenario is people buying PS3 for cheaper blueray or a bigger library of games or for something else over PS4 ? not just for weeks but months..im very curious  

I dont think they will lower price this year but early next year is more likely and they dont care about any other consoles right now all they wanna do is cash in when holidays arrive.
