But look, companies have a history of saying one thing, while doing the other under the table. Who can doubt that Sony and Microsoft haven’t been awesomely surprised by the undeniable success of the lower powered Nintendo Wii?

Being able to offer the same –or even better features – than the competition is the goal. Taking the world away from simple button mashing is the goal.
