Guys, the claims are almost certainly bogus. Gamesindustry.biz is the only site claiming these supposed two "anonymous" devs as a source. Every site reporting on this story is simply quoting this one site, and none of the major sites are reporting this in their news sections at all. Not IGN, not 1up, not Game Informer, not Game Trailers... that should tell you something right there.

It's two anonymous dev's claims against countless other REAL known developers including Crytek, Gearbox, THQ, Vigil, even freak'n Epic.

Seriously, anyone who thinks that an R700 GPU, POWER7 CPU and superior RAM/eDRAM equipped console won't be able to outperform the PS360 is in denial, plain and simple.


Gameindustry.biz isn't just some random site. It is a respectable site.(unlike Wii U Daily)

The reason these anonymous devs are anonymous is because they could get fired over saying stuff like this even if it is true.

I never said Gamesindustry.biz was "some random site"; what I said was it was the only site that received this information.  I will say that IGN is now running it in their news section as a rumor, but they are also pointing out contrasting statements from other devs such as Gearbox, meaning they're taking it with a grain of salt.  Point being, it's not the site's credibility that I'm questioning so much as it is their source.

Furthermore, I'm not confused as to why the developers would remain anonymous, but rather, why their comments seem to be in stark contrast with far more identified dev's opinions.  If we had no tech specs as of yet, and only two anonymous devs on each side, then it would be a 50/50 credibility issue.  But given the situation it just doesn't make sense.  I realize that you would like to believe it to be true, however the overwhelming majority of what we know so far says otherwise.
