lol @ dude reaching for the Nextbox to have something more powerful than a 7970. Something more powerful than a $400 GPU that consumes a ton of energy and space. They're gonna somehow put a more powerful GPU in a console, and sell it for $400 - $500. They also have to account for the new Kinect, controllers, processor, RAM, Mobo, and etc. and yet their Video Card will be around, if not more than $250 - $300 after discounts.


Actually I do not care if Durango has a 7970 GPU, what I have a problem with is people who never take the time to actually research anything but blindly go by what someone tells them on the net.  I do not expect anyone to actually have followed the links I provided or actually try to see if VGleaks data could be incorrect.  Instead I expect people like you to make a comment, happy in ignorance or the inability to refute what I claimed and feel proud of your comment.

Instead of using the fanboy method to refute what I stated, actually show me where I am wrong or show me why VGleaks data is correct instead.  Give examples, show links, find facts things like that.  If you cannot do those things then your comment goes on the endless pile of people who make comments that do not know anything about what they are talking about.

I actually made this post to see if anyone can actually refute what I found because I could not.


"That do not know anything about what they are talking about." is supposed to "That doesn't know anything about what they're talking about." Just thought I'd point that out, cause it's ironic. 

 

Anyways, it's not a fanboy comment. It's simply called common sense, however, apparently since some people lack it, suddenly it's not common anymore. So I'll just say that logically Microsoft couldn't afford to put a $400 GPU in a console, that would cause heat problems, and consume a ton of power and would be loud as hell, and price it competitively, unless the rest of its components were shit. Even if they were, the console will still cost around $600 and that's with a few hundreds of dollars lost, and we all saw how that worked out for Sony.

 

In short, stop fantasizing.
