And so the games on the other consoles in the past 20 years are new (Sarcasm)

Yeah that totally has anything to do at all with what I said.Sarcasm.
It does.
It sounds like he's saying the same exact thing you are saying. The games are the same but in a new wrapper. AKA, not new.
It sounds like he was agreeing with you and you snapped at him.
Now don't you feel bad? FEEL THE REMORSE, SON!

Even if the new xbox is announced in 2012 though, I'm sure it won't come out until late 2013 or 2014. That's 3 years from now, so still plenty of time until they come out with any new console besides the Wii U, thankfully...

Same shit, different words.
In terms of the "New" factor, Nintendo is definitely not the only offender.
Sony used Crash Bandicoot as their "mascot" until he just wasn't viable anymore. Sonic has always played second fiddle to Mario, and is one of the most iconic characters ever. They're still (unfortunately) making Sonic games now. Microsoft discovered they have a cash-cow in Master Chief, and so they've just signed on to make 3 more Halo games starring the guy. If a company sees they have an iconic character that's going to make them money, they are going to Milk it to the max. It's sound business, even if it irks fans of other companies.

This kinda reminds me of the New Coke deal from the late 80's. They keep adding in motion controls, while the players don't want them, so sooner or later, one company will ditch motion controls, label themselves as "Classic gaming" or somesuch, and run off with a lot of customers.
Regardless, I never liked the 360's Kinect to begin with, so naturally, Sony making a Kinect 2.0 with the PS4 doesn't entice me either. I stopped taking Sony as seriously anyway when they claimed in a conference that they had nothing to worry about with Nintendo, and went as far as telling them "welcome to 2006" when they showed the Wii U...

Goddamn, now Sony's copying the Kinect? One ripoff of an idea after another.

You do realize SONY came up with the Eye Toy, and then PS Eye long before Kinect was even an idea for M$?
Kinect is the Eye Toy 2.5 😬
If anything a new camera will be simply another iteration of the Eye Toy brand... Eye 3 maybe
I doubt this. both M$ and Sony are in no need of a new console. a formal announcement by next year can be possible, but I doubt a release date. Sony already confirmed PS4 is in the works anyway

Well, Sony is probably right about not having anything to worry about from the Wii U, at least not anytime soon. Even if the system is noticeably more powerful then current gen systems (which there are conflicting reports of) we aren't going to see what the thing his capable of any time soon. Nintendo's in house studios don't really care about making graphical powerhouses that showcase tech, and third parties aren't going to abandon two systems with large install bases in place in favour of one. We are just going to see 3rd parties do quick sub par ports of 360 titles for as long as they are able. The chances of the Wii U exploding with casuals like the Wii did seems like a long shot (to me at least), most of the people who bought a Wii are happy with Wii fit and their balance board and I have a hard time picturing them upgrading, especially since the Wii is likely going to run at a much higher price point. The best chance the Wii U has is that that in two - three years when the NeXt-box and the PS4 launch that there isn't a large difference in power between them and the Wii U, and studios will main develop on the the Wii U since they will have more experience with it and port over to the other systems. That would give Wii U a performance edge for a few years while studios work out the kinks of the new systems and a head start with the install base.

Agreed. I'm still hoping the links Mist_haermm posted for the PS4 and new xbox getting a 2012 launch or whatever are just rumors myself (a mere announcement would be all right by that time, but an actual launch that soon? facepalm). The PS3 in particular still has at least some years before becoming obsolete, so if they're just that quick to leaving it behind (as opposed to the PS2) and bringing in the new consoles sooner than expected, I'll be a little disappointed frankly...
