Silly peoples everywhere. the next xbox and PS4 won't have "far superior and advanced graphics" that would leave the Wii U in the dust. You guys do know that the PS2 was the best selling console of all time right? Well, the PS3 isn't doing to well as a successor to the "best selling console of all time" in regards to sales. Hmmm... What changed? Lets see:

PS1 - Weakest console compared to competitors. Sold most units compared to competitiors.

PS2 - Weakest console compared to competitors. Sold most units compared to competitiors.

PS3 - Strongest console compared to competitiors. Sold least units compared to competitiors.

Well damn.

Now don't you think it would make more sense for a revenue based company to desire sales which would turn into profit, then to sell a system at a loss?
So wouldn't it make more sense for Sony to emulate the success of there older consoles, by not aiming for the most technologically advanced unit, which they could sell for profit?

So in essence, the biggest gap between the Wii U and PS4/ the next Xbox would be similar to the gap between the PS2 and gamecube / 360.

Oh, but i forgot, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are all people, not money loving companies, so they would do what we want, as gamers, even if that means losing money, droping stock, and going into the red. They're our friends remember!

loosingENDS

Yes, that was the case with PS3

Though xbox 360 is a huge success and packs hardware as advanced as PS3, in fact runs games like Withcer 2 and Crysis 1-2 looking stunning

And is profitable for years now too

So, what reason does MS have for going underpowered ? I think they will just use the very best PC hardware at the time of release, like they did with 360 and was a huge success

And that would be far ahead of WiiU in specs

Oh yeah definitely. Microsoft doesn't care about losing money. They only care about how happy we are. They'll no doubt give us expensive technology for cheap prices effectively loosing billions. That'll put a smile on everyone's faces.

Perhaps I should learn to read again. +1 accident. I really meant NO.

I play consoles for a unique/new experience.

I play PC for high-end performance.

That doesn't look like PR talk to me...

Re-Release = Excellent.

Here's what I see:

New name - Didn't Iwata say that the name confusion of 3DS and DS partly affected sales? Same for Wii and WiiU?

Online Infrastructure for WiiU (If it's still called that :P) and 3DS.

First party games announced will include Pikmin, 3D mario, Fire emblem, Metroid, among others. AKA strong first pary launch titles.

Aesthetically improved controller. Including analog triggers and maybe thumbsticks in place of slidepads.

Among others.

I'd say selling6.68 million units without any of it's portable heavy hitters (Pokemon, Mariokart, Brain training, Mario, Animal crossing) is pretty good.

Every generation adds something new to the controller, which eventually becomes the standard:

Third Generation: Made D-pad standard
Fourth generation: Made Shoulder buttons and 4 button face standard
Fifth Generation: Made analog / Dual analog / Rumble the standard
Sixth Generation: ... Nothing really in terms of the controller, but added basic online to consoles.
Seventh Generation: ... At least some form of motion the standard. (As were seeing with the WiiU)
Eighth Generation: built in touchscreen controller the standard??

So whether you like it or not, motion gaming is here to stay, and will be considered the norm in controllers with time, just like rumble, etc.

Are 4K tv's the same as 2160p tv's. If so....

PS5 at the earliest.

Unless they want to sell 5 million units...

And if consumers woul want to pay $300 per game.

And $100,000 for a TV.
