This does sound powerful enough for a next gen console and the parts make sense so this very well could be true

Though one of the most interesting rumors is the next xbox OS requiring 3 GB of RAM. Thats massive for a console

How would 1 even use 3gb of Ram for the OS? Windows and then what?

Windows 8, multiple actively running aps, full time always on Kinect functionality

Its certainly possible to use 3 GB for the OS.  Basically if true MS is probably not looking at the 360 as a gaming console at all is goin to have it be a full on media device to a level weve never seen from consoles.

I really don't know how I would  feel if MS goes for the full on PC type gaming console that does everything that a laptop or desktop can do.  Is it really necessary?  All I want is a powerful game console that has a focus on awesome games and has good apps that people use.  I feel like if MS goes for full media device then they will lose focus on the gaming part, which more than likely is what people who buy the nextbox will want the most. But, that's just me.  I'm gonna buy both either way so it doesn't really matter a whole lot to me.
