Which next gen console will be the weakest?

Most likely the Wii U or the PS4.

Probably the Wii U.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Wii U, but we'll see.

Probably the PS4.

I will say Ps4, Sony can't even afford r&d to build a strong hardware system.reach3

Since the Ps4 will be out 2 years after the Wii U there's no way it'll be the weakest.

I'd bet money the 720 will be the weakest, Or at least no stronger than the Wii U. M$ has the least motive to use more powerful hardware.

All consoles will be somewhat similar in power though, the biggest gap between any of the 3 consoles will be hardware 2 years ahead at most.

It's already been announced that the Wii-U is signicantly more powerful than the PS3.

The one that comes out first?

PS3 is already as powerful as the Wii UCarlton-Banks

Sonys not going to pull a Wii.Carlton-Banks

What makes you think Sony is going to pull a "PS3?"

Sony sold an $800 console for a $200 loss on each sale, and you think they're going to make a powerhouse console next gen?

Last time I checked, all they won was the format war, but their console is in last place. Not to mention that they've pretty much lost most of the profits they made from the PS1 and PS2 (a console that Sony also sold for a loss) on the PS3.

I don't expect any of the consoles to be powerhouses.

But since Nintendo is launching their console first and Sony more than likely have learned from their mistakes this gen, it's only natural to think that either of their consoles will most likely be the "weakest."

I honestly don't care which system will be the weakest or most powerful. I go wherever the games are.

PS4 because Sony is a broke-ass buster.

Don't bother. This is the same person who keeps thinking that Sony as a whole will sell off most assets to keep the PS brand alive. I can't imagine what Sony will be like if he's the president of it. Ugh.

Probably the Wii U, but the nextbox may just be a bulky Kinect, so who knows.

obviously WiiU.

releasing trailers of PS3/360 multiplats was lame.

WiiU, since its being compared to current gen consoles. PS4 and NextBox will be more powerful on release.navyguy21

Um Wii U has a bit more power than PS3, specs are similar but Wii U will have much more ram. Its far from a next gen difference. No Sony doesn't have to pull a PS3, they can pull a 360. Since Bluray will cover space next gen, they won't have to R&D for another medium, much like 360. Meaning PS4 will be powerful and not cost and arm and a leg. PS3 is in last place but who gives a damn, its in the same sales boat as 360. Carlton-Banks

The only thing that has been confirmed regarding the Wii-U's specs is that it will use a Power7-based CPU. Everything else is just speculation.

We don't know anything about the Wii-U's GPU. Nintendo stated themselves that the specs (regarding the Wii-U's GPU being similar to the Radeon 4890) are not yet finalized.

And the PS3's GPU is similar to a Geforce 7800GT. You're claiming that the Wii-U only has a "bit more" power than a PS3, and has similar specs based on the unfinalized specs of the Wii-U? :lol:

4890>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>7800GT

Come on, dude.

It may not be a "next gen" difference in the PC world, but our "HD twins" are running on ancient hardware.

And the PS3 being in last place may not matter to you, but it damn sure matters to Sony. Compared to last gen, they have failed while Microsoft and Nintendo are rolling in dough.

All Sony has to do next gen is drop a $300-$350 console with launch games that will appeal to the core audience, and some games that will appeal to the casual audience. That's how you turn a profit in the console gaming market today. Releasing expensive "top-of-the line" hardware isn't, as we have seen this gen.

But we'll see what happens...

Most likely WiiU. Simply because it's being released first.

Actually I get cheap thrills trolling cows because they get upset so easily. :D

Bigboi500

I'm going with PS4.

[QUOTE="Carlton-Banks"][QUOTE="reach3"]I will say Ps4, Sony can't even afford r&d to build a strong hardware system.Tikeio

Hee hee. That pic always makes me laugh.

PS4 a Sony executive already said that he expects the PS4 to be a small improvement graphically over the PS3.

Its not going to matter anyway because the difference will probably be the difference between the PS2 and the Xbox.

WiiU by far, the other systems will come much later and will be far superior i guess

Either the PS4 or the 720. Neither have that much money to spend on new, fancy tech.foxhound_fox

Actually 360 is an infinite success and they defintaly have the money to spend on a super system

Also it is a far safer bet now that 360 is so well established

Plus for the WiiU price on release, two-three year later they will be able to get 10x better hardware

So, by default, WiiU will be left far behind

Xbox is a kinect only casual machine now.

defiantely PS4 because Sony have no cash to match microsoft.

Most likely there will be no PS4 though so it will be 720 vs WiiU
