I certainly hope Sony/MS can or are keeping up with Nintendo or whatever, but I also don't want anyone getting in over their head or trying to corner the market. Nothing goes right for a consumer when a developer holds all the cards. First, we pay more, then we get less for our money.

I personally have no doubts that there will be a PS4, and possibly unimaginably soon. Hell, who the hell knows, Final Fantasy VII's remake might be released on that system as its main draw point.

Personally, I feel that a lot of draw for the PlayStation and Xbox comes from marketing pop-culture such as music, movies, hot-topic shows, and of course J-pop. Without this, the systems themselves hold no real appeal. Nintendo's main focus is naturally on gatherings and simplicity over soloing and complex-puzzling and the avoidance of awkward control schemes.
