Whatever is in the Nextbox I think it will be very powerful. This Gen Sony's PS3 is a about 5% or so more powerful than the current Xbox (so they are basically the same, unlike the Game Cube and Xbox which where both more powerful than the PS2, that last one about twice). One big advantage I see that if you develop using DirectX it seems easier to work on both the Xbox and PC. But as the Xbox is stuck on DirectX 9C and the current PC's can use the more beautiful and realistic DriectX 11.
The next WiiU uses DirectX 10 or something similar. I'm hoping the Next Xbox will use at least DirectX 12, which is not out yet.
I'm hoping these rumor, such as 6 core, are leaked on purpose and to give the competition a target, and the actually hardware will be much more powerful. (and easy to swap out should a single component fail - like a swappable SSD, like the current hard drives on both Xbox and PS3.)
Much will depend on the WiiU effect. If it doesn't sell much better than the other two HD's, then they wouldn't really NEED to upgrade quite yet.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon! |
