Make you're games tied to you're PSN account, Charge over $500-600 for it, even $400 is cutting it imo.


I hope its $400. Anything less and it means its a cheap underpowered system.

I'm betting Microsoft is releasing a mid-range console with Kinect 2.0 pack in at $400. 

Are you just trying to take a jab at the Next Xbox judging by you're comment??, cos no where in the OP did it state anything about MS or the Nextbox. Also do you really think a console launching in 2013-14 with a price point of $300-350 would be a cheap underpowered system??, it really shows you don't know much about hardware...

No, not taking a jab at next Xbox. There are rumors the next Xbox will use a AMD 6xxx GPU. That's a whole genration behind the rumored PS4 one. If Microsoft wants to bundle Kinect 2.0 with each XBox, then yeah they will have to go for the low end of those 6xxx series.

A $300-$350 console would be extremely underpowered for a next-gen console. We need a big leap, not baby steps. The console would need to be at least sold for $400 at a loss for me to consider buying it. I want my next-gen system to be future proof. Not a PS3.5.

BTW by mid-range console, I meant in comparision to the PS4 and Wii U.

This is how next-gen looks like so far based on leaked specs for all 3. 

PS4 > 720 > Wii U

Hahahaha you do make me laugh i have to say xD . We went over this in another thread but i will repeat it again. Just cos the Next Xbox is meant to be using a 6xxx GPU and the PS3 is meant to be using a 7xxx GPU means nothing for it's power. What if the PS4 ends up with a 7450 or a 7750 GPU and the NextBox ends up with a 6870 GPU??, the  the 7450 and 7750 are both newer then the 6870 or a "Whole Genration ahard" as you like to put it. But the 6870 wipes the floor with the 2 of them cards when it comes to power. and them so called leaked specs you like talking about are nothing more then rumors at this point, so i wouldn't put to much thought into them.

Also by the time 2013-14 comes around a $300-350 console would still be much more powerfull then the Xbox360 and the PS3, and would produce games that look alot more advanced. Plus i wouldn't worry about kinect as im sure at this point in time it's not costing MS that much to make. 


I'm assuming both use the same range. For example I'm assuming they both use the entry level card into each GPU generation. PS4 - 7570, Xbox 720 - 6450

You're twisting stuff up in your favor......

Either way a 6xxx is a diffent generation than a 7xxx. They are a still a generation apart regarless of power.

The 6xxx is part of the Northern Islands generation.
The 7xxx is part of the Southern Islands generation.
