feels like the cycle of current gen scenario is gonna happen again for the next gen console war
ninty as usual the pioneer in launching the new console with new innovation
then MS & Sony follow later
Ninty's new Wii U will have the current gen's console's power (Wii has the power of gamecube on steroid, or Xbox first gen), with some new control method/innovation while MS & Sony launch into next gen with higher power machines, and most likely maintain with their existing control method.
Not sure if this time Wii U will sell like hot cakes again like Wii (most likely won't)
cos most consumer basically had learn from the lesson of Wii, u buy bcos everyone bought it, and bcos your grandparent, parent and kids love it, and it end up collecting dust after a few months or weeks
about sony next-gen's console.. remember when sony first launch the ps3, in 2006? it was expensive, and to add to that, sony was selling it at a loss.. only in late 2010 it turned to profit.. about 4 years.. that is a long time, and a lot of losses.. im not sure if sony already gained enough profit to develop a new console, in just 1 year plus.. unless they are hiding something, (they have other division after all, for the profit) it may be a lot longer than we expected until we see ps4, or we will be seing ps4, but not with super hardware leap like most ppl wanted..
i dont know about microsoft.. im guessing they already developing it..
but, if the price is right, there is no harm owning more than one consoles right.. win-win situation

edit: owh yeah, my point is.. this will give wii U some period to sell itself.. and we dont know about the specs yet, it may have the ability to compete with ps4 and next xbox for all we know...
