I didn't read this yet but I am familiar with PSM. In my closet, as we speak, I have an issue of PSM. The EXACT SAME MONTH that the PS2 was revealed in the Official Playstation Magazine--with pics and all, PSM reported from a reliable source that the PS2 would:
-Have four controller ports
-Look similar to the Dreamcast
-Allow you to receive messages from friends about games
-Have an inbox that gave you "missions"
I can dig it out of my closet for specifics but PSM (which was headed at the time by current Nintendo Power head hocho, Chris Slate) isn't what I would consider the most reliable of sources. And on top of that, what's the big deal with being the most powerful? Has that ever mattered in the world of video games? Has the most powerful EVER won (Answer: No. Even the Snes beat the Neo Geo)?
And even if we get these specs now, remember how:
-Kinect has its own processor but the final design was cut
-The N64 was supposed to produce CD quality audio but in the end, we got only snippets of music in comparison to PS1
-The Wii was supposed to be so much more powerful than an Xbox
-The Cell was supposed to be more powerful, with the more consoles active (I still don't know what the fuck that meant)
Take this article with a grain of salt. I've seen this too many times before.
