How long until Sony calls the Wii2 gimmick?

Then 2013 E3 Sony will announce the PS Tablet thingy, and say its more advance than the Wii 2....

The same lesson Sony learned with the PSP, listen Nintendo chose to use again old tech on their systems, MS and Sony won't. They will use current GPU which way beyond 2005 version. If the next Wii is only 5 times more powerful than a 6 year console, don't expect the others to do the same or lesser. 

Modern shader architecture and cross platform game engines makes the horsepower itself not as relevant.  

Exactly.... and, to psrock and those arguing with me, this why N6 will be far closer to PS360's succesors in raw power and cost than they seem to think.

You think as if this new one is to compete with PS3/360, maybe for one year, but MS/Sony won't just sit there and do nothing. I expect new HD systems announce next year. 

Did you ignrore my post?  They can be twice as powerful as the N6 and it won't matter because the architecture will be in place to enable easier cross platform development across all 3.

So what, it still needs to be done. Yes, there will be tons of cross platform bewee the wii2/ps3/360, but it ends there.

This. And in the meantime, production costs will have become lower enough to offer PS3 plus Move and XB360 plus Kinect bundles for less than $250. Not to mention that launching one year (or even more) later and priced at $400, both PS4 and XB720 will be able to offer a lot more than Wii2 without the risk of their production costs going out of control like it happened to PS3 at launch.

Do you really think Sony and MS want to bleed money again, and are going to subsidize behemoths?

If not, then the difference will be orders of magnitude smaller than this generation. I didn't see so many guys criticizing the PS2 as it got the worst ports by far of that generation.
