These forums will be hilarious if Next Xbox is more powerful than PS4

Yep at least rumor wise Sony is doing a better job spec wise. My worry is the price + games. So far so good but they need to really bring it in the upcoming events

This goes for MS as well obviously

I'm beggining to think Sony is able and willling to sell for a bigger loss than we are assuming. Yoshida talked about the PS3 launch and the upcoming PS4 launch and he has said things like, the PS4 hasn't cost us the factories or the research that made the PS3 so expensive, and we have ways to subsidize off our costs.

If Sony was willing to spend a billion in Cell development and sell the console at a $240-$300, I'm beginning to think they'd be plenty okay selling at a $200 loss. Given the total cost of everything in box and shipped will probably be over $500. I don't think they will sell at a crazy loss because of shareholders and recent financial troubles though, but $399 should make the cut easy.

yeah wouldn't be surprised. Did you see that thread/info on gaf that talked about some 'clam shell' design/approach to RAM? I tried to find the post but couldn't :S  It was a bit too technical for me but from what i understood the way they implimented RAM in the system will help them increase the amount without any hassle while actually 'reducing' the power consumption. Don't ask me how lol Couldn't understand most of it. 

There was some talk of makers such as Samsung going into mass production of large GDDR5 chips too. So who knows, it might actually be not as expensive as we think. but yea that's my worry about the system as of now. Already got 3-4 games I want and some really cool features...the price is the real deal breaker (since they said used games are ok with em)
