How does the PS4 compare to the leaked specs of the Xbox720? Is the PS4 supposed to be more powerful? I'm not too knowledgeable about all this stuff.

The meaningful difference is the GPU. Rumors say the X720 has a weak ass GPU. So PS4 will be 50% faster than the X720 which doesn't bode well for parity of multiplatform games (X720 will hold them down).

PS4 8x X360

X720 only 5.5x X360

But they have comparable CPUs and RAM (though the PS4 wins here too). I say let's not judge anything Xbox Next related because MS could very well up the specs now that Sony's are official.

But there were talks of Durango GPUs already being in semi-full production early this year (30K or so) and that they had a very tight schedule if they were going to meet a Nov release target.

And so far rumours have proven to be quite accurate.

I'm betting X720 will go for the slower RAM and a 1.2 TFLOP GPU because MS is so much about casual market nowadays and they're trying to keep the multiplat COD dudebro market by beating Sony with a cheaper entry price.

What's the incentive for MS to make a powerful machine only for Halo? They know multiplat publishers will make a smooth X720 version of all their titles even for a slightly slower console.
