Great Post!

I do not think that we can use past console cycles as a reliable basis for a comparison. There are so many factors that are different and that should be taken into account.

In my opinion the first two years of a console cycle are not really that important... it is the early adopter phase and it is a bad time for the average consumer to buy a new console. You will get a product that is susceptible to technical flaws, you pay the early adopter price and then have a console lying around with almost no great games available (because the great games are being hold back until the install base has grown signifcantly). There is often no real benefit to buy a console on launch. And Nintendo and Sony have already shown that there will be upgraded versions like the slim... There are good reasons to wait for 2 Years before buying a console...

The Wii U will have its most important yea. I am still thinking about buying it but to be honest... it is not the graphics that I have problems with. It is that damn controller that I despise. With the 3DS I can simply turn off that damn 3D and could pretend that it does not exist... The controllers of the Wii/Wii U are simply forced upon me.
