[Deadly Virus]

With this and the dual GPUs rumour, I'm really starting to worry about the next Xbox. All this power is well and good, but how much is this thing going to cost? And more importantly, how much will it cost to make games for it? This sounds like it's getting to be ridiculous, and I thought no one would be stupid enough to repeat the PS3 $599 scandal...

Microsoft can take a loss, Sony can't take a loss as much as Microsoft can, and Nintendo will be the "Bridge" between this and the next gen?
Crazy.

This might actually give the Wii U an even better fighting chance, knowing many people who won't pay over five hundred dollars for a console.

I will wait and see, if this is true.

[Daniel]

It probably won't cost more than the Wii U. Think about it this way: Microsoft will focus mainly on graphics and new features that don't cost much more, and Nintendo will focus on actual hardware innovation and ease of development.

I can have dreams, Ninja! D':

Dont take this as truth because it is terribly unrealistic lol what if anything uses s 16 core cpu ?! Nothing . The rumors about next xbox are just ridiculous and laughable
Also might i add that in the last part of the article some random anonymous ( ugh not this) "developers" are saying xbox 3 will be the first console able to run ue4 and i say no to that considering its using the amd radeon 7000 series gpu rumored to also be in the wii u then this " developer" doesnt know what he or she is talking about AT ALL .
Im call a BULL S... Article if u ask me
Im pretty sure you cant even get a 16 core cpu lol rofl

16 core processor huh?
No way this rumor could have any validity. It's way too early to tell at this point.

More likely than you think.

[The Lonely Koopa]

Only 16 cores come on Microsoft you can do better than that I won't expect nothing less than 232,739 cores from you it won't be next gen capable of AAAA games unless it has that many cores.

Well ok then...

HOLY POOP! if thats the case, I have no idea what to expect from next gen.
but I bet Sony's probably gonna try an outdo that with a 32 core processor (running at 1.21 Gigawatts)!

It'll be kinda like the "bit wars" of yore.

1.21 Jiggawatts*

The problem with hasing 16 cores is shrinking it down to put in a console.
It's still unlikely.

Big, big console ? It does kinda seem unlikely though. I expect good hardware, but not hardware THAT good. I mean really.

Isn't Sony in some kind of financial trouble on the game market?
Or did I dream that?
Someone please tell me.

Some people believe that they'll go all out anyways. I'm thinking that this isn't happening though. (The 16 core thing, not too sure...)

Everyone is in Finacial trouble, Sony esspecially.

I don't see this as true whatsoever. The system would be REALLY expencive, and I don't the the Microsoft shareholders would let a loss like that slide.

That is likely true. You never do know though... :l

Imagine all this power and Microsoft is focusing on the Kinect.

EPIC LOL!

[Daniel]

This will probably be the most interesting console generation to date. Only two more months for the first...-ish part.

Imagine all this power and Microsoft is focusing on the Kinect.

EPIC LOL!

I'm not sure what to say to that, lol. Uhh, SuperKinect? PS: It's just like the Eye Toys for the PS2 and PS3, trololol. Jk.
