It's kind of tough to say. The PS4 and X1 will be competing with their predecessors in the early years while the Wii U isn't competing with anything.


Er whut? The Wii U will be competing with every other console on the market, just like those consoles will be competing with the rest.

Im pretty sure he meant PS3/360/PS4/One all fight for the same demographic of 16-32 year old males that prefer shooters/racing/sports games while Wii U is moreso directed at Nintendo fans, kids, families



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Nintendo does it's own thing. When you compare the libraries of the next gen consoles, the Wii U has completely different games than the others. Nintendo relies on their first party games while Sony and Microsoft rely on third party games. If Nintendo was really trying to compete, they would have made the Wii U on par with the PS4 and X1.

Sure, but they're all still video game consoles, so they're all competing with each other.

That's just their strategy for dealing with the competition, being different.

Lol, some people are really voting for the WiiU?

You really think they're competing? When people talk about next gen consoles, they never mention the Wii U. Which is not out of disrespect. They'll make their console, and will bring out their usual first party games, and make a profit. We pretty much know what to expect out of Nintendo in terms of software. WIth Sony and Microsoft, we don't know what they'll do.

Thats absolutely true, I just think ur reading too much into his original comment. Hes not saying it in a derogatory manner, just stating that they appeal to different demographics. PS3/PS4/360/One will all be fighting for the same crowds money for the next couple years whilr if Nintendo plays there cards right can have an entire market to themselves

PS4, I don't think it will be all that close either to be honest (worldwide).

Just too much developer support.

Final Fantasy XV will probably be ready for 2014, so will Metal Gear Solid V, and Bungie's Destiny, and I think the PS4 will have the superior versions of all three of those games because it has a better GPU. And probably the first "real" next-gen Madden NFL and Call of Duty for the fall season.

Then there's Sony internal teams who I'm sure by fall 2014 will have some good stuff ready.

That plus the $100 cheaper price point will be huge for Sony.
