[QUOTE="DaBrainz"]I hate to say it but I think next gen will belong to Sony. The name brand is just too strong. I predict that they will have an all in one controller with duel analog, but will also have IR and motion control like the Wii remote. Sony and Nintendo will both have a modest jump in graphics, aiming to keep the launch price at $300. Hopefully Nintendo will at least still release the big guns like Mario and Zelda. There will not be another MS console after the first two disasters.Phazevariance
I hate to tell ya this but the Nintendo name brand is stronger. NES SNES N64 (not gamecube) and now Wii are all top sellers for them. Xbox 1 was not a disaster, it was new. 360 is HARDLY a disaster at all, its beating PS3, so what does that make your precious Sony brand name... crap?
No, i think many hardcore gamers got burned on the Wii and won't get nintendo consoles next generation. Sony and MS will be neck and neck again, if not with MS pulling ahead as their consoles are easier to program for (so far). Sony 'could' get back into power IF and only IF they dont try to introduce new technology exclusive to their money making pockets, by clipping it in via home console. (cell, bluray, of which both are failing in terms of sales, and cell, well they sold the rights to it , it was not selling at all). Bluray is not selling bucket loads either.
Thank you Phazevariance. You saved me a lot of typing.
Lets not get into brand loyalty. The way I see it, Microsoft is winning some loyalty over the hardcore, Nintendo is winning loyalty with brand new gamers (almost flawless ad's for its games, I mean, if you can sell a piece of junk like wii music, you know you are good in marketing). Sony is on life support OFF its brand loyalty. Sure it's getting more and more games, but its not enough. If at all, sony is loosing a lot of people if you ask me... The PS4 better play games, movies, music, browse the web and clean the toilet and it better be under 299. But knowing Sony Greedy McGreedster, that wont happen.
