I think power does have some impact on the lifecycle. If we look at the Wii U, we have a lot of people assuming they will support it for 3-4 more years before trying again. If the PS4 did this badly, I don't think people would make the same prediction. They would have more room to make changes, as it will decrease in price and effectively become a different product with a different audience. Consoles that start weak don't really have the extra chances a more expensive one has.

Umm i don't want to get into back and forth here. I mean you have your view of the situation and i respect that. The reason Wii U is not selling has nothing to do with power. This is the first time people are able to experience Nintendo games legally. So they have never looked this good as far as graphic fidelity is concerned but yet the sales are struggling. 

Also it is the one of the most "core" focused Nintendo home console they've ever made and the so called hardcore are no where to be found when it comes to buying the damn thing. They also often have complaints about motion controls. Heck i had blind dislike towards it last generation for stupid reasons but what is it this time. This is the most traditional "hardcore" focused controller Nintendo has ever made. It has two sticks (no wonky stick like Gamecube C stick) and rest of the buttons are exactly like what you'll find on the competition. Again, where are the hardcore gamers when they should be buying it. Sure there is a screen but you can easily ignore it if you don't like it and play the game like a regular ps360 game. 

People say they want certain things but never show up when. Now they demand more power and yet this is the most powerful, first HD console from Nintendo. Every single game looks visually phenominal beating from when i skepticism of the power when i bought the device. 

I kind of went on a tangent here but point stands. Power should and must not have an impact on a gaming device catered towards fun gameplay. This is not Crysis 3 where people just run benchmarks on pc and post that stuff on thread on internet or take 4K screenshots and salivate. Mass market and most gamers don't give a damn about that stuff more when 5 minutes of awe is over.
