Isn't the next Xbox being released in 2013?

For next gen technology it could look better

When the next Xbox comes out with a KB and Mouse and can play Windows Games...

Yep, it's what happens when brands rely on their name alone and don't innovate.

Wii U will probably sell the bundle of the Wii U plus a controller for $400, but individually

Wii U = $200 - Wii Tablet Controller = $300

PS4 is likely to push new formats for everyone, like they did with Blu-Ray, only this time I think it'll be a storage medium. So we're likely to go back to casettes, but 21st century style. Will likely be medium powered device, but they can't sell it at a loss since they can't afford to... soooo...
PS4 = $399.99

Xbox 720 = They can afford to underprice their console, and will likely do so to maintain their lead. High Powered console, lot of focus on CPU to power their home entertainment device vision. Will cost $500 to manufacture, but they'll match PS4 price andn go with $399.99. I think they'll make the Kinect built in Mandatory.
Xbox 720 = $500 to manufacture, $400 MSRP

I'd honestly use it, but just not for gaming.

I've really tried to game on PC. I got the mega hyped Half Life 2 and Half Life, and I just couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. I just can't do KB and Mouse, it's just not my interface of choice. And it's useless to try and use a controller on PC games, because everyone else is a beast with KB and Mouse, and I'd be severely challenged. I like the fact that everyone on a console is at the same playing field as me regarding a controller, and if I'm awful at a game, I can admit that I'm suck without excuses.

it really comes down to cultural mindset, more likely a western game is going to appeal to someone brought up in a more Western culture.

That wasn't true before. Before this gen japanese games were hugely successful.

The demo was god awful. The battle system is horrible. After games like Skyrim, I can't stand playing JRPG's anymore. I used to be huge on FF7, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana, but this game is just terrible. The graphics looked decent, but Skyrim just spoiled me.
