What happens to Wii U when PS720 launches, and what will Sony and Microsoft do to destroy the sales of Nintendos newest console?

So, after all the Nintendo Direct videos and the NYC press conference we have a much better picture of the Wii U. It'll launch November 18th in the US, November 30 in EU and December 8 in Japan. It'll cost $299 and $349 depending on which package you chose, and according to certain retailers they're already selling out.

So far so good.

But what will happen to Wii U when the next generation of consoles is released by Sony and Microsoft? How will this impact the Wii U's sales? And more importantly, how can (and will) MicroSony fuck up the Wii U's momentum next gen?! What will they bring to the PS720 to make sure to halt Wii U's success? What can they do, and what will they do next gen?

Let the speculation begin! I'm really curious as to what MS/Sony will counter the Wii U with!

Don't release them. More PS360 price cuts. Wii U will be stuck with current generation games F0R3V3R.

I think Sony will release the PS3 superslim around the time of the Wii U release and give it a price-cut too. That should have an impact on Wii U's sales

All MS need to do to impact the Wii U's sales is to announce that the Xbox720 will be released at the end of 2013 around the time the Wii U is released. That way, PS360 gamers will hold off and save their money to get a 720

PS3 gets a new Slim release and pricecut this year and Xbox probably too, that will definetly do some damage.

Release a console with high quality games and amazing graphics for a reasonable price.

some thoughts regarding PS4:

Sony's 1st party games have no chance against Nintendo's. Fact. Therefore, Sony's 1st party games won't move as many systems as Nintendo's games will do, subsequently making that argument invalid.

It looks as if Wii U might get decent ports this gen, unlike Wii's gimped versions. Therefore; 3rd party launch line up games will be found on the Wii U as well. (Now, I'm no techie, so I don't know how all this will work out, or if WiiU actually will get decent graphics compared to PS720 - so we'll just have to see about that...)

People are already complaining about Wii U's price, so imagine all the bitching if PS4 is priced at $399!!

Nintendo's got Miiverse and Nintendo TVii to counter XBL and PSN Live...

Gaikai is the only thing of all those things you listed that could make a difference as I see it... PS4 won't have the same graphical leap they had last gen, they won't have that much better online services as last gen, they don't have as good (in this case meaning sell potential) 1st party games and decent to good 3rd party games will (hopefully) be found on Wii U as well - and Sony can't afford to sell at great loss. The only thing they got going to f*ck up Wii U's momentum is Gaikai and great marketing.

some thoughts about Xbox720:

Nintendo 1st party games > MS 1st party games. Fact. Therefore, MS's 1st party games won't move as many systems as Nintendo's games will do, subsequently making that argument invalid.

Halo 5 ain't happening in 2013. They got any other 1st party sellers?

CoD could - and will - move millions of systems. But will it move enough systems to topple Wii U's one year head start?! No.

New Ip's is something Nintendo has as well. NintendoLand. ZombiU.

MS can take a bigger loss than Sony and Nintendo, and could work great if the system can offer something the other 2 can't (superior graphics - like the leap from xbox to xbox360, or something else entirely)

All 3 consoles will have multiplayer. Wii U's got the Miiverse, which will be a whole new social experience that will enhance multiplayer - and something MS will have to match.

Getting a streaming service would/could work wonders for xbox720

Kinect has sold 20m units, but has rather poor software sales as far as I've understood it. So that's probably not a big selling point.

And Nintendo don't have quality games? Those exist on every console ;)

And Sony can't do amazing graphics to a reasonable prize - only MS has that oppertunity right now. But as Wii showed us graphics isn't everything...

Yes, it will. But new consoles always sell good, and Wii U will be the best selling console next year.

Yes, but what will MicroSony have to get to their next gen consoles to catch up on the head start the Wii U will have?
