I don't care how powerful it is, if it needs to be connected at all times i wont be buying it, same goes for the PS4 if it needs to be connected before you can play a game.
Still i can think of a few Sony fans that is shitting their pants thinking about the Nextbox having 2 GPU's and one of them being from the 7xxx range, but i wont name no names xD.

I know you're mentioning me since you have this obsession with me.(Which is kinda weird for a 29 year old male)
Anyway this rumor is obviously false. 2 GPUs that work indepently? And it even mentions that Kinect will be bundled in..so unless the console is going to cost $500-$600, I call bull.

I don't care whether 720 is more powerful than PS4 or the other way around. I just want next-gen consoles to be exponentially more powerful than current-gen.

Well since you automatically assumed i was talking about you, plus the fact you checked out my profile to find out my age, makes me wonder whos the one with the obsession??.

Plus like i said a 7750 GPU can be got for $100 today, by 2013-2014 they will be even cheaper, it would prob only cost MS $50 to include 2 of them, but then we have problems with heat etc, put maybe they are making some kind of custom Twin GFX card i don't know. All i know if the console launches with a price of $400-450 it will be a good while before i buy one, and could put MS at a huge disadvantage if sony launches a console for $300-350.

do you or anyone think MS or Sony will launch their console below 500$?

this is not 2005/06 any more... people buy 3 million "half PCs" in a day for 600$ a piece... and they will do it again the next year... why not pay 500 or 600$ for a console that will last at least 5 years (will do more, but 5 is for sure)... so these are the days that people will buy 500/600$ consoles and stop living in the early 2000's.
