Both MS and Sony are now copying the Nintendo's family friendlymodel, low powered consoles with novelty addons.

Does this leave an opening in the market for a new console? Or will developers not content to make such titles focus more on PC gaming? A lot of 3rd part devs ignored the wii this gen will this happen to MS and Sony this gen?

The move and kinect are add-ons. It's not like Sony and MS are releasing less core games. Nintendo remains the family gimmick king.

I'm a bit amazed by how many people seem to think that when a console gets an addon like Kinect or Move, immediatly all hardcore games seem to cease existing. Same for Wii, just because it's more directed at family and has gimmick (which isn't bad per-se) doesn't mean it doesn't have any games that core gamers would enjoy.

I was more talking about next gen, the PS4 and New xbox will both be aiming at nintendos marked next gen.

Do you have a source for this, or is it just speculation?

Not getting enough sales from the traditional gaming crowd, family friendly is where the sales are.

Well, Microsoft kind of has stopped putting out the core games since Kinect.
