Did you read the OP? 

I did take into account multiple scenarios (more power, less power)

Ì believe in total hardware sales it will be N1 but in 3rd-party support as in AAA-titles it will be third...

Yup, and at the end you said you would like to hear our opinions and i think that is too early for me to give an opinion, what's wrong with that?

And so are the best tablets, and they are getting better and better at gaming and more and more people are gaming on them. Casual gamers will see the Wii U's major selling point, it's tablet controller and think "I already have an Ipad/other tablet, I can play plenty of great games on that, why should I spend $xxx on this?"

You said it was too early to make statements, I disagreed as I've made multiple predictions to address multiple scenarios. The only scenario I haven't adressed is one or both of them being total failures, others have pointed that out and it's a very good point imo. 

If you're saying you think it's too early for you to make statements than I find nothing wrong ^^

3rd place or 1st theyll make money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Nintendo is making a console. Sony and Microsoft will be making toned down PC gaming experiences once again in generation 8.

All Sony and Microsoft are really doing is making gaming more expensive, and giving their systems exclusives. You know, people get so freakin' excited when a 360 or PS3 exclusive comes out. They go on the internet and brag about how the people who don't share their brand devotion can't play that game. But all a 360 or PS3 exclusive means is that you'll have to use whatever control mechanisms Sony and Microsoft want you to, you'll have to experience the graphics that they want you to, you'll have to abide by their EULA, you can't mod games without breaking the EULA, thus, in some cases giving companies the rights to disable your system from playing games, (you may argue that they rarely do this, but who in their right mind would passively agree to that?) and you just won't have as many options as you would have had with the game had it been on PC.

Before people brag on Sony / Microsoft exclusives next generation, they need to think about what they're doing. Isn't that basically the equivalent of a bunch of toddlers crawling around in a playpen, and one of them grabs a particular toy, and starts crying and screaming, "WAHHH I WANT TO BE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THIS TOY!" so he proceeds to wipe his shit and snot all over it and then acts like everyone is supposed to be glad about it? I mean correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty much a perfect analogy from what I can tell.

Every game would be better on PC, but the only reason I'm willing to tolerate Nintendo is because of two reasons that tie in together: I feel that at least ONE console is an inevitability, and I feel that they are the most reasonable when it comes to making a console, primarily due to the price point. I don't LIKE Nintendo's hardware at all, I'm only willing to tolerate it. Once Nintendo gets to the "599 USD" level they will be on my shitlist as well. But they KNOW that's how many people feel. That's why people like them. So they're not going to make that mistake.

Once we have details on the other systems, we can make fair assessments.

We know next to nothing, to be honest, about the WiiU. We know even less about the Xbox 720 and PS 4 -- except we think that Durango and Orbis are in development.

We do know that some analysts are predicting failure for Nintendo and think it should go third party, even though it sold 95m consoles this generation and that strategy has not served Sega very well.

We do know that people have freaked out about Nintendo taking its first loss while all but ignoring Siny's worse financial record.

We do know that Microsoft has a tough time selling in Japan and is about to launch an integrated OS that will change Windows fundamentally -- something that may not be well accepted by (business) users [my opinion].

Predicting anything at this point is folly or wishful thinking. It is often done because someone wants something to happen or so someone is not wise enough to think things through.

By this point next week, we be able to make much more informed decisions about the WiiU.

We probably ought to wait until then if we wish to have a reasoned, intelligent discussion.

Next generation.. there will not be 3.. probely 5-6 "konsoles" (device to the tv, that also play games)

Still nintendo is almost sure to win.. why.. They have the nintendo must have games.. and all 3 party..

In few days.. we see the true power, of the next gen..

So pessimistic! I think the 3DS is getting great support
