Forums - Gaming - Why the PS4, XBOX 720 and Wii 2 will be identical

Esmoreit on 17 February 2009

I doubt the next gen will see identical consoles. All competitors now know that they need something unique, something that pulls the players in, that emersion is no longer phat graphics. They need a hook, and as motion control has been done before they will look at something new.

i think the ps3 with motion controls tacked on is going to replace the ps4 next gen. i think it will be like Wii HD, xbox 720, PS3.

I think the ps3 is just going to get refreshes like how the DS and the PSP have. I think the ps three whatever is going to be like DS to DSi.

PS3 games will work on the PSthree.
The diff will be that the PSthree will have some more ram so games that come out will take advantage of the extra ram for the PSthree by uping the texture resolution.

PS3 and PSthree game will be on the same disk, the game will boot up accordingly to what ps3 model you have.

So if you have t3h ps3 it will boot up with low texture resolution, slower loading times, maybe an install. But if it boots up in PSthree mode, better textures, faster loading, no installs

^^^ Steve Ballmer looks like coach John McGuirk on the first episode of Home Movies when he is about to go on the date with Brendon's mom. Gotta love the neck and armpit sweat!

And that's the least. Try painting his skin yellow, slow him down and put a beer can in his hand...

And here is where there is an issue: Lets say that all 3 consoles are very similar in power, graphics and control types.

What will separate them from each other is their exclusive libraries.

Nintendo will have the top brand name recognition, coming from the Wii and the massive marketshare control they have this generation. Basically, the crowd favorite. Their combination of carrying the casual market, while also preserving their lifetime zelda/metroid/mario fans will keep them in good shape.

Microsoft will bring along the FPS crowd on their systems, also with having acquired new exclusives this gen, likely to stick along with MS for exclusives in the future. Plus whatever they don't have, they can convince with money.

Sony is in a tough spot, not having the purchasing power they once did to buy exclusives, having no specific niche market except for the Playstation brand loyalists. They are going to have to really think how they can get an edge on the market, do something radical like Nintendo did with the Wii, but on their own terms.

Overall, it should prove interesting where things fall into place. It will also be interesting to see devs open up to Nintendo as they will enter the HD market, and how that affects the other consoles.
