your ps4 specs are wrong because ps4 will be more powerful than ps3 which has cell with 8cores@ 3.2ghz

im about 90% sure im buying a WiiU anyway.. i couldnt give a flying F__k how powerful it is. 

Nintendo is only 1 developer. If Nintendo want to win the third parties back they are going to have to compete with PS4 and nextbox. I don't really care about the Wii U though, I'm expecting and wanting the advancements to happen on microsonys next consoles the most.

As for the cost of development, we're moving closer and closer to an almost exclusively digital age, and when all developers need to do is copy some files to a database, they don't need a rich publisher to distribute the game and take a cut from each sale. This means higher profit margins for devs, more money going towards the game and much cheaper distribution. The only cost left is advertising which will be covered by digital stores (look at steam) and the increased profit margin of the previous game. AAA games may still need publishers, but we'll still get plenty of non-AAA games through digital distribution.

there's literally no chance

If a PC game needs to be dumbed down to the point where gameplay changes to be playable on a console, it is an issue worth fixing. MAG has incredibly limited interactivity whereas BF3 has a powerful destruction engine, vehicles, much better animations and it looks and sounds a lot better. So sure, if you dumb a game down so much you can get many people online, this isn't a good thing. 

Interactivity largely depends on what the hardware is capable of as seen in BF3. If you want fully destructible environments, bigger and more detailed worlds, better physics, smarter NPCs and better looking games you need better hardware. There really isn't any other way around it.

That is the exact opposite of what all the developers are talking about for the future of games. AI and complexity will be where all the advancements are made. Graphics are reaching a pinnacle point where advancements won't matter as much from one gen to the next. The real battle ground is in AI and the other aspects of game design.

Honestly I think in the higher end market, Microsoft is going to drive Sony out in the next 5-6 years by creating a better piece of hardware, which in turn will make them the console of choice for "hardcore" players.

Sony can't afford to price match Microsoft anymore, and Microsoft knows this. A couple of years of losses upfront on the 720 and they can bury Sony for good. We're starting to hear some reports that seem to indicate MS is "going for it" at the urging of some developers (probably Epic and some others). So I could see a situation where the 720 has say 4GB of RAM + a beefier GPU versus a Sony Orbis that has 2GB RAM/weaker GPU.

Nintendo will retain a good portion of the lower end/"normal person" (lol) market, but MS will make inroads here too with Kinect.

Wii was released nearly a year later after the 360.

You might want to rewrite your theory. Wishful thinking isn't the same as predicting.

Well, if that's tue than ok. Bring it on.
