I don't know. If next Gen lasts 10 years then I can honestly see how in the long run, 8 gigs of slower RAM is going to prevail against 4 gigs of faster RAM. Also, while I'm not sure I believe the Durangos 3 gigs reserved for the OS, but when compared to the alleged 512MB reserved for the Orbis OS, it sends a message that Microsoft wants to make the Durango a multitasking & multimedia powerhouse. I'm also interested to see what's the Durango's "secret sauce" as this article admits they really don't know much about.
Truth is we no longer live in a world where a purely gaming console might not cut it for the masses. We might see a situation where the PS4 finally gets cross game chat, buy the 720 goes ahead with cross game video chat while simultaneously recording your favorite tv show in the background and fast app switching. (just my speculation based on how much RAM and how much RAM is reserved for respective OS's). |
This would be more convincing if it wasn't for the fact that the most popular gaming console of this generation was the one that was purley gaming focused.
I mean hell, Wii didn't even have competant online.

That's the thing. Can we honestly say that the Wii was purely gaming focused? Maybe casual gaming focused. You just admitted it didn't have competent online. I'd wager that the masses bought it mostly for the uniqeness that motion controls introduced at the time. I think there was also one year where the Wii was the device most used to watch Netflix (eventually supplanted by the PS3).

Yes in fact, you can say it was purley gaming focused. The fact that it didn't have competant online makes it MORE gaming focused. Not less.
the netflix popularity was borne from Wii's popularity, not the other way around.
