both will be able to run crysis on high.

except the wii 2 at least. but its too early especialyl since not many info

sony it's working on dual core/quad core cell with multiple SPUS each core.

and microsoft will likely use whatever IBM have or intel (no likely unless they want to kill backward compatibility).

for GPUS all three console will get pretty much the same. Direct X 11 - 12 - 13 capable opegl 3 - 4 -5

 

Yeap, that pretty much falls in line with Power7 and Cell2.

 

On a side note, I just realized that I never fully explained why I think Microsoft will want a powerhouse. Last generation Microsoft wanted a CPU that IBM simply couldn't deliver. They wanted a tri-core CPU with OOE. IBM couldn't deliver that so they settled for tri-core with IOE. A Xenon with OOE would be 50-100% more powerful than the one in the Xbox 360. It would have given Microsoft both a more powerful CPU and GPU. I can't shake the feeling that Microsoft will seek a powerful CPU again, especially since the Cell processor is the main thing Sony brags about.
