So PS4 Is Basically Going To Win This Gen, Right?

I wouldn't be so certain. They'll have the best launch, but how people will accept it say, 6 months in, is as of yet an unknown. So if Nintendo strike hard with Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and a price cut, and other smaller titles, I could see them snatching the momentum and the generation with it.

So, I say it's probable, that the PS4 will be win, but not certain, and not by much.

Unless the Wii Fit/Sports craze kicks back in something crazy and soccer moms, grandpas, kid sisters, etc. start buying Wii U's in droves, I don't think Sony has much to worry about from Wii U.

Mario Kart and Smash Brothers Sony and MS can deal with, Nintendo is dangerous when they are taking risks with new ideas, but Nintendo has grown gun shy and the Wii U is a really awkard console seemingly designed for no particular demographic. Wii U in a lot of ways is the anti-Wii.

XBox 1 I think actually has more potential with casuals once they get the price down.

It isn't price here, it is the reality that the Kinect 2 camera had better be a killer feature.  On the price side, Sony is going to be able to beat Microsoft on the price game, by being less expensive.

If Sony comes out of the box and gets over a million console lead over the ONE with the PS4, it is over for Microsoft pretty much.

And I wouldn't bank on Microsoft even being a lock for North America or other regions it has, because of its price point.
