Similar price point as the Wii U if I recall correctly.
Despite being mid-cycle, it will be up against the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro. Plus the current economy with a weak pound against the dollar will not help.
However, if this time they get marketing down and a good line up of launch games then I think it could easily outsell the Wii U.
@origamibomber: Same, but then again I got it on 360(was £10 cheaper) so glad to have it on PS3 now. Just nice alongside having Persona 4 Golden on PS Vita along with Dancing All Night.
@chippiez: Hmm, not sure it's entirely accurate what you say. 7th gen consoles were released circa 2005~. Yet PC's have had multi-core CPUs since before then, an excerpt from Wiki:
"Processors were originally developed with only one core. In the mid 1980s Rockwell International manufactured versions of the 6502 with two 6502 cores on one chip as the R65C00, R65C21, and R65C29,[3][4] sharing the chip's pins on alternate clock phases. Other multi-core processors were developed in the early 2000s by Intel,AMD and others."
As for hyper-threading: "It first appeared in February 2002 on Xeon server processors and in November 2002 on Pentium 4 desktop CPUs."
P.s, I don't get the entire "PC vs Consoles". Different strokes for different folkes. I own both, I love both. I am neither master race nor peasant. I am a gamer.
@megakoresh: Surprised it cost you that much. In 2011 I built my current computer which is a i5 2500K, AMD 7950 3GB(though I have changed this to a 290 since), 16GB of Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz RAM and it cost me about £1100, which I think is like €1500. Then again, I did shop around for ages to get the best deals and re-used an old monitor, mouse and keyboard.
