So then you're giving validity to the X720 rumors, yes? It's been widely talked about by devs and journalists, just like the 4GB RAM rumor for PS4.
Me, personally, I give no rumors any props, the bottom line matters. Far as I'm concerned, the PS4 always had 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, and the rumors "meant nothing".

Well, considering the rumors for PS4 were perfectly accurate except the 4gb vs 8gb... yes I do think neXtBox rumors are accurate.
Keep in mind PS4 details in my comparison thread had existed in that form for over six months before Feb20th event. Besided adding some additional info on what the controller woudl and would not do... the only other tidbit I changed was 4GB to 8GB.
I expect the same from MS. I'll add some service related info and more details on Kinect/Controller. But the specs will remain the same unless MS has decided to change DD3 to GDDR5 to match Sony which really isn't that possible with a lot of redesign.
You can believe Sony always intended 8GB all you want, but then it simply makes no sense to keep it secret from devs including internal ones who also came out on Feb20th and said that it was a nice surprise. Fact is, Sony very recently made that change as a competitive move vs MS.

No, you think it was a fact. The only factual information, that you or I know, is the PS4 has 8GB of GDDR5 and it was kept secret. All else is pintless to debate since you don't know it for sure.

Look at the rumored PS4 specs from VgLeaks, and look at the offical ones released by Sony.
THEY ARE 99% identical. The only difference is that VgLeaks listed 4GB instead of 8GB. What happened here? Sony had recently upgraded dev kits and announced it to the public before any devs even had the chance to receive them. LEAKS COME FROM DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE THE HARDWARE.
More proof that these leaks(Yes, leaks, not rumors) are true is how surprised developers were. They went on the record saying they were very surprised with the 8GB of RAM.
