I don't see a new console until two winters from now (not including Wii U). I don't think MS or Sony really cares what Nintendo does.
Um, you sure about that?
I don't think sony or microsoft will easily brush off the wii being first place and i doubt they'd tolerate it again this time with the wiiu.
Surely they don't want to be second or third again.

If that is true, I too, will pass for a while.
Maybe buy a Wii when they drop to ... well, like 50$ or something, ... when the Wii U is released and then a year later when the Wii U costs a third of that I might get it 😐

The obviously care a bit but I don't think they really care that much to a point where they will try to release their next product early than expected.
but wasn't that a huge part of the reason why the wii was so successful? And also why the 360 is in front of the ps3?
The most important thing is being number one. And making the mistake of not launching at or around the wiiu release window would mean risking that spot. (again)
Consider history.
It's assumed that each console maker will want to be number 1 selling brand.
But releasing first, or around the Wii U doesn't really mean it won't achieve that.
Look at consoles figures this generation.
Wii is number at 89.36 Million. The 360 is 57.6 Million and the PS3 is 56 million.
Both the PS3 and the Wii was released after the 360 by almost a year.
Consoles sales are a result of many different things. I wouldn't know exactly what but I would think that it would involve good games, good quality product and that people generally want it.

I've read an article in the web where it stated that compulsive buying in techonology is dead these days, at least to the lower-class to middle-class peoples.
It would be wise to wait for at least 6-12 months until the price drops to 1/2-1/3 of its price.

And I'm sure Sony/Microsoft want to see how the touchscreen controller is accepted. This way they can launch their next consoles with one instead of just ripping it off mid-life like they had to do with the Wii and motion controls. haermm

I've heard that the wiiu is suppose to be slightly more powerful than the 360 and ps3.
And that sony's vita is already going to be an optional controller for ps4 games in the style of wiiu's touch screen controller.
