I see,

In that case this has gone from fairly promising news to disasterous news, the 4xxx series is a generation behind what the Xbox 360 is based on!!! (5xxx series).

What are you talking about the 360 is bassed on a R500/R600 GPU, Radeon X19X0/Radeon HD 2XX0 GPU hybrid.

R700 HD 4xxx is 1.5 gen ahead of the 360 GPU

Actually that would be exactly 2(GPU) generations ahead and a jump from DX9 technology to DX10.1. Just as the Wii U is used a Power7 based processor where the 360 used a Power5 also putting it 2 gens ahead.
