As Sony's Playstation 4 continues to surge as the Market Leader of the 8th Console Generation of Video Games, do you think it's possible that we could be seeing new consoles from two of the Big Three in 2015 as an attempt to forestall Sony's momentum?
I really don't think that Microsoft wants to lose the ground that they gained in the console market place with the Xbox 360 to Sony's Playstation 4. Thus far, the Xbox One has seemed like an ill thought out console by Microsoft that really looks like it's destined to fair no better against PS4 than the Original Xbox did against Sony's Playstation 2.
Likewise, Nintendo's Wii U has been much maligned and even some of Nintendo's Best franchises haven't faired as well on Nintendo's Wii U as they did in the previous gen. And, I'm sure that Nintendo would probably like to recapture some of that glory that their Wii console enjoyed; however, it looks like at best Wii U is going to be at best another Gamecube rather than a Wii.
Really, the only way that I can see for both Microsoft and Nintendo to recapture some of the success that they enjoyed during the previous gen would be for them both to release new consoles.
So, do you think there's any chancethat we'll see a new console from Microsoft that takes much fuller advantage of the capabilities of DirectX 12 than the Xbox One can and a new more core focused console from Nintendo accompanied by a beautiful 9th Gen version of the next Zelda game during the 2015 Holiday Season?
