This just confirms that it's true even more. $299 nextbox incoming.


Keep in mind that was their target price in 2010, based on this document.

I think they've already made some changes that may affect that price point.

Primarily, all rumors now show PowerPC CPUs vs ARM based CPUs. This is a big difference as it removes the need to have 360s CPU along with the ARM processors but the PPC CPUs cost more than ARM. There is surely other changes as various components become more of fact vs planned.

However, I do think a $299 base model is a 50/50 shot with a $379 or $399 high end model.

There aren't any rumors about an AMD CPU anymore? How sad.


I don't think neXtBox ever had an AMD rumor. PS4 has them and they are still the main rumors.

Oh. But then how come you said "Primarily, all rumors now show PowerPC CPUs vs ARM based CPUs." as if there used to be other alternatives?

ARM is not AMD. ARM is a CPU architecture (Intel and AMD use x86 architecture primarily) and is used profoundly in mobile products.
