If Playstation 4 is successful, what will Wii U do?
Nintendo will certainly enjoy success with its console for the next handful of months or so, but once Sony releases its system, and if it is more successful than the Wii U, how will Nintendo respond?
(Industry, Next-Gen, Nintendo, Sony, Wii U)
With the PS3 easing into second place I really believe the PS4 will be a formidable competitor right out of the gate. Its pretty amazing how the PS3 has climbed up again after all the problems it has had like pricing and steep competition
ops, hit disagree on accident.. Wii U will compete with PS3, it doesnt stand a chance against PS4 as far as performance & support goes.. Had they kept the price at $250 w a pack in game again, it wouldve been sold out everywhere for a very long time again.. That extra $50 for the console & $60 for a game & whatever else u get for it adds up.. It will turn off a lot of potential buyers
We all know Nintendo will do well with the Wii U even if they are surpassed by the other's technology. People buy Nintendo because it is Nintendo. Not because of flashy graphics or ground breaking hardware. Nintendo owns shop because their games are quality and there is a certain nostalgic factor. Plus most people can just pick up a game and play, you don't have to be a hardcore gamer (for the most part). There are the exception as in any case.... but still.
wont happen anyway. wiiu has at least an entire year on the market with zero competition, by then it will have such a great market share, sony and microsoft will have to scavenge for the left overs.
no doubt sony will stubbornly price themselves out of the market again.
The next console will not be called PlayStation 4, the number 4 in Japan is pronounced "shi", meaning death. Many buildings in Japan have no 4th floor and room number 4 due to the same reason The codename for the console is Orbis, which could perhaps be part of the final name PS4 titles will look like high-end PC demos you found in Watchdogs, Star Wars 1313 or Square Enix's Luminous tech demo PS4 demos will be shown by Sony at E3 2013 PS4 games will not run in 4K or Ultra HD resolution, it will probably be used only for videos The default resolution will be 1080p at 60fps PS4 will not support used games, games need to be registered to PSN account There will be a protection scheme in the system, in the form of online pass or something similar PS4 will have around 4GB to 8GB memory - if the next Xbox system has 8GB memory, Sony would be put under pressure to have 8GB PS4 will have 16GB flash memory PS4 will not be backward compatible with PS3 games PlayStation Plus will be an important pillar of the PS4 PS4 will be shipped with PS Move controller and camera Classic games will be available via Cloud gaming, powered by Gaikai PS4 will run on quad-core AMD processor code name Liverpool, produced in a 28nm process The price will be around €400 - 500
First Off there's no garauntee ps4 will be successful. Look at vita, it's floundering badly. Selling worse than the dreamcast. And it's the successor to a moderately successful hand held. PS3 is the least successful Sony console ever. Why would its successor magically become successful? Sony is in financial ruin too. Don't know why people are expecting a powerhouse console from them when their credit rating is a point above junk.
Sony is in the weakest position of any console maker right now. The ? Should be asked what can Sony do to survive next gen. They are like Sega of the past.
M$ is in a very good position heading into next gen. But gaming as a whole is in decline, this coming gen will purge many devs and big players out of console gaming.

PS3 = 70m
Xbox 360 = 70m
Wii = 95m
Now compare that to last gen:
PS2 = 150m
GC = 20m
Xbox = 25m
The market is not only more balanced now but it grew too.
Overestimated Sony's total
Was correct on M$'s
And Underestimated Wii's Total.
