Last I heard the rumor was that the NextBox was going to have 8 CPU cores, 8gb of RAM and HD 8800M GPU. It's just a rumor but it's the most recent one and if true it would be cool if it did end up getting called Xbox 8 with a Windows 8 RT OS. So many eights: 8 CPUs, 8gb, 8800 GPU and Win 8.
Not a tech guy, so I have a question. If true, how does it rate compared to PS3 and 360?
Current Bets-AC:New Leaf won't break 600k by release to year's end. -NintendoPie (1st bet!) loser has to include this in their sig "Winner Was obviously right and I was obviously wrong. I will forever be a lesser being than them."-3months
Long term Bet-AC:New Leaf will not sell more than AC:Wild World in NA lifetime. 1month of Avatar control. -*Sound Of Rain.
They do seem to weak but comparing what it could do in pc to what it could produce in a console is silly. We'd still have awesome looking games but not the leap we were all hoping for.
Having said that I'm sure I've head this rumor before and it is an old one.
Someone post some videos. As far as i have seen, the graphic cards are powerful enough to bring recent games in high settings and 1080p. and that isn't yet optimized for consoles. so... they may be weak. and they may be cheap. but the graphics will improve in a good amount of time.
People shouldnt compare what a console will do compared to what a PC can do.
I mean really think about this.
A few years ago if you seen BF3 running on PC would you think it could also be done on consoles (Sure its not as good as the PC version but still).

As the PS3 version has shown it is clearly NOT possible. Not even in the same league anymore.
