With Sony is always the same thing... bashes Nintendo and in the end of the day they are the first ones to copy cat Nintendo doings. "So you copied Nintendo?" Sony's Answer: "Oh no we were thinking about this since the first Playstation..."
About Microsoft i dont know what they will do, besides the graphics update maybe enhance kinect for the next console. But Sony is just doing what they always do, they are waiting to see what Nintendo comes up and then they try to integrate that in the dualshock. It's crystal clear that the next dual shock will have a lcd screen... but they don't know yet what to do with it and that's why Nintendo was smart enough to show nothing in concrete in E3 2011. If they can't see it they can't copy it... at least so soon. Next year E3 will show Wii U at full steam and everything that Microsoft and Sony will try to do will be too late.Unless they launch a rushed device like Sony did with the failed SixAxis.
About the Wii U not being a next gen console... for the people who say that ,well many of you said that Wii wasn't
a next gen console because it was inferior to X360 and PS3 in graphics, well Wii U has a much better hardware than X360 and PS3 (rumors say the GPU alone is 4x better than current HD consoles besides other things), which means (according to your line of though) that X360 and PS3 are a generation below Wii U, so what is your excuse now?
Was the Dreamcast not a 128 bit console because it was, in terms of hardware, inferior to PS2, Gamecube and Xbox?
Was the PS2 not a 128 bit console because it was inferior, in terms of hardware, to Gamecube and Xbox?
Was the Gamecube not a 128 bit console because it was inferior, in terms of hardware, to Xbox?
PS1: The lasted thing Sony copied from Nintendo was the street pass feature that now on Vita it's called "Near". It's funny how almost everybody talked about it has being a new thing that no one ever had do it...how people forget so easily....
PS2: You can report my post to the admins but everything that i said is true.
