Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Nintendo was on the dance floor before Sony or Microsoft ever got up off their chairs.

No one this generation, so far, has seemed interested in stating specific hardware specs. Not that specifics really matter to gamers, they barely matter to developers.

All three consoles can do 1080p games. The PS4 and the Xbox 8 will be able to offer "bigger" games than the Wii U, but for the most part all three will be able to offer similar games.

Sony talked a lot about the hardware and specs 6 days ago, we know the ram, the TFLOPs of the gpu and amds 8 core cpu. More than Nintendo ever talked about WiiUs specs/

Wii U, and PC has it's own generations, it doesn't fit in this formula as it's counted differently.

I don't the point of all this is. The 8th generation of video games is already here...3DS, Vita, and WII U.

There's no point denying that Microsoft are on the back foot until they announce the 720 or show more info on the console and get more people talking about it, Sony wants people 2 talk about the PS4 so they did somthing about it, I think this was a good move as now it has left E3 wide open for Sony 2 talk about whatever they want and they still have a console + various other games 2 show which will help take a bit if the wind out of Microsofts sails.
