MS is only showing Windows 8 (Phone / Tablet etc..) though, correct?

Re: Xbox 720

Yeah, I doubt we'll see anything at CES. Though would love to see new stuff in person when I'm there next week

Microsoft isn't even going this year. You'll see lots of PC manufacturers with Win8 stuff, but no official MS presence.

Which gives them more $$ to spend on E3. Hmmmm....

There are some rumors that they might be there, but in back door capacities showing off the new hardware to select devs.

I seen a report (somewhere) that a couple reps will be there but just for the W8 stuff.

Re: Xbox 720

Imagine how stripped down Madden will be for the first game on the new Xbox...gonna be scary barebones is my guess..

That's the least of my worries. Will it be a great game? Who knows, but I'm certain they learned from the mistakes made coming into this generation.

I want to believe they did learn. I remember an article that quoted Cam Weber saying it won't be a complete rebuild. They will take what works well now to next gen and build the rest to complete it.

Basically ripping out all the bad code and re-writing it. But that is a good thing imo. I don't want a complete rebuild, unless they had like 4 years to do it.

Rumored specs

A developer on neogaf apparently coyly confirmed that what has leaked is accurate.

I share the same initial concerns as some of those posters, I hope the PS4 is competitive with those specs.

you really don't think it wouldn't be?

Re: Xbox 720

Wonder about the price considering that GPU is suppose to be around $280 once it comes out unless it's a gimped one...

Either way that's pretty impressive for a console if true.

Would it really be that surprising if they went with a console that doesn't sell at a $200-300 per unit loss after what they went through with the PS3? Opting instead with something less riskier but still much more powerful than the 360/WiiU/PS3?

With an unreleased class of GPU instead of a custom version of an earlier architecture, MS is clearly willing to do the former - they can after all with the money the 360 had made them.

The PS3 hasn't filled Sony's war chest, it's made it lighter.

This isn't all great for MS either. A single dominant console is garbage for competition and sucks for third parties. I want Sony to compete.

So no, I wouldn't brr surprised if Sony made a less powerful console that put them in the black with a low attach rate, allowing them a much stronger position to wage a war of price points.

Can't really compare to retail pricing. It's just the chip that goes into these consoles and it will be custom, derived from that family of GPU. I would say "gimped" in terms of raw numbers is likely, with a lower clock speed, possibly less ROPs and TMUs. But like Xenos, I expect it will have eDRAM and a forward-thinking feature set.

I don't care, all I know is it's going to rock.

I see your point, but there is no way in Sony is going to make a less of a system compared to the 720, it will be equal or better, we don't know anything for sure yet. When we have real facts on both system specs then we can argue this, until then my friend.
