Umm what are you talking about? MS could launch a new xbox that is 5 to 10 times more powerful than the PS3 and sell it $299 today. The PS3 is ancient tech at this point. I still think MS should launch a 360+ as the slim. Put a gig of ram in it and dual 32nm valhallas or at least put in a 30% or so speed bump to the CPU and 50-75% bump to the GPU.

I want what your smoking

If they did do that, that would be an Xbox 720 and then Sony and possibly Nintendo would try to one up them by doing the same or more and before we know it we are in the 8th generation of videogames.

You realize that the PS3 is at least 2 full generations behind state of the art right, more like 3 for the GPU?

What I described is a more a 540 than a 720.  That fits with MS's concept of forward compatitabilty.  540 could easily get them to 2113 and be able to smoke the ps3 with 60 fps, 1080p and probably 3D.  It wouldn't even really require much if any extra development to support the higher res, just have the game detect which version of the 360 the consumer has and if it is the 540 then render at higher resolution and use more AA.

Now I really want what your smoking.

And do you seriously believe that Sony and Nintendo wouldn't counter. Thats so ignorant that it makes me laugh. Where are my facepalm pics?
