This was posted on NeoGaf and it's from a "Reliable" source, an Ex-journalist that supposedly kept many of his contacts. Some of the stuff he has said has come true but, still.

If this happens, next gen will be a repeat of this current gen. What are we to going to do? xD

Still, Wii U is "Stronger" than PS360, and it would cost 3rd parties a lot more to develop games for Xbox 720.
What's your take on this?

I already planned to get the Wii U and PS4 this coming generation. If the Nextbox and PS4 end up being more powerful than the Wii U and the third party games are the same on both consoles then the deciding factor would be their first and second party games. Even though Microsoft claims their first party is superior it doesn't stand a chance against Sony and Nintendo's first party. I wouldn't worry Nintendo always has the funner games and they will be the only ones with Monster Hunter.

Either way a PC is still a better choice.

Don't really like PC for gaming, I grew up with consoles, but I see your point.
Hopefully, the Wii U will still have the Japanese developer support I REALLY want it to have.

The problem is that the Wii U is coming around a year before PS4 and NextBox, so the trend will remain the same unless Nintendo brings a game changer.


Technology is advancing quick, so a lot changes in a few months of when development ends.

This doesnt have anything to do with the wii u being too weak. nintendo has been doing the same thing with developers and they have been very happy . Also vigil games has said the wiiu runs high end pc games and i dont think you can beat that unless a company releases a console years later. So i doubt the next xbox will be more powerful than wiiu if the same developers are pushing the envelope for both nintendo and microsoft and i highly doubt they will make a 450 dollar console or higher during this economy , and thats what it will take to beat out the wii u in power . Dont get doom and gloom over a simple neogaf post . I could have said something like this because it's already been stated that developers have been doing this with all the 3 companys since last year. Btw nextbox has been confirmed to be revealed and released next year and ps4 in about 2014 .

So they want to create an environment where big budget games go to Microsoft, while low budget games end up with Nintendo.

I want to see Microsoft produce this thing.

Also, why'd you censor his username? It's not that difficult to go over to the Wii U Speculation thread, and find out.

Well, you never know! Dude has sources (Or so he says) So I thought i'd be for the best.
I could just take another picture of it and edit the thread, tho.

[Meelow100]

Nintendo also went to big deveoplers (the same ones as those in the post) and asked what they wanted for next gen, Team Ninja confirmed they are listening to all developers and doing what they are saying for the Wii U.

[Reaper Pin]

Another interesting post from Gaf, read it!

Spoiler

Kind of sums up want these "Big" Companies want to do, and, God, if it happens, It'll all just be CoD, BF, Halo, etc. Releases.

But Nintendo will still keep It's awesomeness on it's consoles.

[Soul]

Just like EA monopolized the NFL...

[Joshua]

This doesn't sound right to me. My theory is that Microsoft is going to lean more-so on the casual audience next generation because of the Kinect's success and the mark it has planted on Microsoft's image. Having powerful hardware would contradict my idea.

But hey, anything can happen. Microsoft aren't foreigners to powerful tech.

[Nin_Stream]

Do not call it the Nextbox. It wont be called that. I saw a commercial for a new DVR and thats called the Nextbox. Just call it the Xbox 720 for now. Either way with Microsoft focusing on casuals next gen the system wont be a powerhouse or anything. Look at the Wii. You do not get casuals with power and graphics. Plus with it not using used games or having a hard drive 720 will be lame anyway. Plus lets be honest here. Besides Halo 5 and 6 there is absolutly no other 1st party game on it that anyone wants.

PS4 not until 2016 my friend. Sony has stated time and time again they are sticking with their 10 year life span plan.

BAKA!!! seriously does nobody do any research??? In an interview with....damn it forgot his name in xbox magazine it was the ceo or president or vice president or somthing. He said "For the millionth time we have nothing to show at E3 2012 involving the Xbox 360's successor."

You just slaughtered me right here xD
... Now that I think about it, you are right. I'm starting to think the post on NeoGaf was BS. But we can't rely purely on speculation, we can never know what these 3 will pull out.
And, alright, Xbox 720 for now.

Stop....just...just stop. First off, Sony always supports their consoles for ten years but they also release the next console around the 7th or 8th year in a lifespan. PS1 came out in 1994 and still got gsmes up until 2003, even though the PS2 came out in 2000. The PS2 was developed on until 2010 even though the PS3 came out in 2006. All that ten year cycle means is Sony plans on developing PS3 gsmes until 2016 but they will probably release a PS4 in 2014. Also, their CEO said they don't want competitors to get a huge headstart this gen (I guess they don't take Nintendo seriously as a competitor).

I reference to the Xbox 720 denial at E3? It's marketing suicide to claim you are revealing your next hardware product 3 months before a show when your current hardware is selling higher nd faster than ever before. Microsoft will not admit their plans for e3 until e3. There is still a chance the 720 will at least be mentioned at E3 to steal some of Nintendo's thunder.

Glad I could clear that up for yah.

Nintendo revealed they would show off there system before E3 last year and they did...it wasnt suicide. Plus with how well Microsoft did last E3 you really think they will do any better. At best they will say at the end. Oh yah we have started thinking about our next system but wait till E3 2013 for info.......Then again with the 2012 end of the world this year we wont even ever see the 720/PS4. And with the PS4 sony is in financial unstability right now. Spitting out a POWERHOUSE system would be shooting themselfs in the foot and would risk bankruptcy. after the failure of the PS3 launch they wont make that mistake again.

[Deadly Virus]

I don't see this being successful for Microsoft if this is the case. More power is good, but it sounds like they're pushing it to ridiculous levels. They really can't survive on the big developers alone. If this means more smaller developers and more innovative games show up on Wii U, I'm all for it though.

[The Lonely Koopa]

A next gen console being next gen I don't see whats wrong here seems like he just stated the obvious .

You are just not good not realising gen is considered by time not specs.

[Nollog]

The guy later said he didn't hear it first hand.
It seemed to me he was kidding around.

Either way, good news for Nintendo.
