Because the ps3 sold badly that dosn't mean ps4 will fail like ps3


But what incentive is there to buy a PS4 instead of a WiiU, especially since the power gap between them will be negligible.

PS4 will be at least 2 time more power then Wii U and the price will be less then PS3 and Sony can release Gran Turismo 6  and Uncharted 4 day one.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

For the first six or seven months, absolutely nothing.

E3 might let them spread enough hype to affect sales in the enthusiast crowds, but if they don't launch in 2013... dunno. Going to be a long, uphill fight if either of them hold off longer than a year.

I agree that until Spring, there's nothing Microsoft or Sony can do to hurt WiiU's sales. What's more, the biggest problem so far seems to be the lack of enough consoles to meet the demand (something that could, ironically, benefit MS and Sony).

And I also agree that E3 will be very important for all of them. MS and Sony will probably give some details of their new consoles, they may even show the final hardware and give price and launch dates, and that will at least slow WiiU sales.

But Nintendo can mitigate the damage if they are capable of showing that third parties really care about WiiU and will support them once the launch period is over with new games (not necessarily exclusives) and also bringing to the table more info about their 1st party games. That's where studios like Retro or Monolith enter in action.



Please excuse my bad English.

E3 won't matter for Nintendo just like it hasn't really mattered for a few years now.

We may get a good showing - maybe - but Nintendo Direct is where the megatons land, now.

Yeah, releasing a more powerful console don't neccesarily mean taking the lead (PS1 and PS2 are prime examples of that; they stayed way a head despite being the weaker machine).

Having their biggest selling IP's ready after the console's been out for a year already... That's just not good =)

I'm not totally sold on Kinect, and I doubt I'll get the 720 for Kinect2 - but it's a nice addition I guess... But will it push lots and lots of systems? Dunno... And Sony doesn't have anything like that at all; Move just... failed... Hard.

Being weakest doesn't mean it is going to take the lead either. It's not just about having the best graphics either, it's about creating a noticable jump from the last console so current PS3 and Xbox 360 owners don't feel ripped off.

I don't understand that part.

As the past two holidays have shown, Kinect pushed a shit load of systems. Sony doesn't have anything like that, which is why I didn't mention them.

One would think that 4x the memory should be enough for any gamer to get a WiiU - but that's not the case... To me that's quite the jump. But I understand if ppl are holding off to see what MSony has to bring next gen.

ok... what I wanted to say is; NOT having you biggest IP's ready at launch is a big mistake.

But will Kinect feel as fresh and new next year, when it comes with the console?

Regarding Sony's great 1st party games, save perhaps for Gran Turismo, none of them have the selling power to move consoles like Halo, much less Nintendo's top IPs.  I mean, I love Uncharted but I don't see Sony being able to win next gen easily this way.  In fact, I see them having the hardest time next gen unless they really surprise us. 

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft won next gen - but unless Sony brings something new they'll end up last...
