VGleaks seems to have accurate data, but some of the information seem to be dated when they are released, which in turn makes them seem inaccurate again for present day.

With the state Square Enix is currently in there was no way that Versus was going to stay a PS3 exclusive. Now that it has been bumped up to Ps4, rebranded as FF15 and is being helped/funded by Sony, it's locked in.

Either way, at worst this is a repeat of Gen 6 in terms of power difference, and that's not a bad thing for us as gamers. Graphics never really decide these gen wars anyway, it always comes down to games and services.

There's no way the Wii U is comparable to the ps4/nextbox, there's going to be massive difference between the U and the 2. There's talk that Unreal Engine 4 won't even run on the Wii U and stuff like AMDs tessellation is pretty noticeable, check the hair on Lara for the PS360 vs PC.

People thinking X looks anywhere near as good as the ps4 killzone are insane, and killzone is only going to look better since the ram was increased. (rumors had it only using 2gig for what was shown)

The Wii U is screwed if the nextbox is used as the base for multiplatform titles. The Nintendo first party titles while popular need a gateway title to sell, without Wii Sports bringing in a new audience (who have now moved on to tablets or have no interest remaining) the nintendo games are back to N64/gamecube levels as opposed to the Wii heights.

I also wonder how Nintendo are handling the transtition from SD to HD, they've like never had to program anything with shaders in it before lol... this caused a lot of companies problems at the start of last gen, now that the PS4/720 are as easy to program as a PC game... well look @ that the Witcher guys are capable of.

The main reason for games being more expensive is the massive marketing budget they attach to them these days... the hd reason no longer flys, not when you can purchase engines like unreal.

Did you forget how the Dreamcast was blown out of the water by the Ps2? People always want to point out how the best hardware doesn't win but ignore the factors that was at play.

SNES - Better hardware (why do nintendo fans not bring this up? lol)
PSX - No not as powerful as the N64 but was superior to the Saturn and it had areas it was better than the 64 due to CD advantages. Do you remember the ads for Final Fantasy 7? All FMV, perception is everything.
Ps2 - Yes it was not as powerful as the xbox or gamecube, but it blew out the dreamcast while being the stronger machine, the gamecube and xbox coming late against this juggernaut was dumb, period.
wii - fluke win by motion controls, for as dominant as it was it didn't have the legs of the ps2 and it will probably get outsold by the xbox in america.

For the price point the PS4 will launch at they might as well not exist. I mean the average console buyer is not really going to care that someone has 2xtitan cards that cost $1000 each when they're buying a ps4.

And for the most part the pc games wait on console jumps to improve.
