Wondering where you've heard the name "Sweeney" before? Well, there's this opera about a barber and some pies. Also, Sweeney thinks Xbox 720 needs to be at least three times as powerful as Xbox 360. |
Did anyone else read this and lol? 3 times? Didn't he or someone else at Epic just say next gen needed to be "bleeding edge" to survive? Is it just me or hasn't the established trend been 6 times? Not sure how rumorish this is, but they could eliminate optical in favor of cartridge, if not solid state just to proprietize the medium. Maybe as a way to prevent piracy, maybe as a cost reduction, or size reduction, or some other thing I'm not thinking of. I doubt they would go all digital, the technology just isn't available to make it viable, internet connection speeds. Same reason onlive has a limited market, streaming eats up bandwidth and so does downloading digital media. Pipelines just aren't good enough yet, or atleast not to cater to a large enough market. I don't think Microsoft cares too much about including blu-ray because Sony was a top investor in it. They haven't rejected working with Sony stuff before and vise versa, just like Apple hasn't (no matter how many fans think these companies want to kill eachother, for example iPhone 4s uses a Sony chip, its the same with Microsoft, options are open). It would make sense to go Blu-ray if they go optical.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
