I am not sure why this worries me, but next gen. keeps getting similar and similar except for a different brand name on the box. Its confuses the consumer.

If I recall correctly , consoles in previous eras had some sort of a "soul" to them. A console had its own taste or image. Next gen. seems they are all the same. Even the 360 had it at launch, it was the console with the HD graphics and ONLINE gameplay , but that later died as PS3 got up there with it. No one argues this with me, I remember exactly when I first saw the 360, it blew my mind with the sliders menu. It was jaw dropping.

I just imagined Sega and Nintendo performing some sort of dark ritual on their MD/Genesis and SNES consoles...

There's more there than for PS4 launch as well. Xbox One has the strongest launch lineup between the Xbox One, PS4, and WIiU.

Crimson Dragon should be interesting. And now with traditional controls.

Yeah, I am looking forward to Crimson Dragon :)

FWIW, though, the PS4 launch date/library is still not confirmed...
