| theprof00 said: I'm asking for proof, not conjecture. I know all of these reasons already. I know that changing something like the CPU/GPU is a huge deal. I know there are contracts in place. I know this would result in massive delays. I know this would fuck with all the work developers have previously put into their games. But is there PROOF? Do we have a link or someone in the industry saying quite clearly "these contracts are all written long before production even begins", or "changing out a GPU for a completely different one would create massive problems, even 6 months out from release". I know the evidence, and I actually work with computers. |
I don't think that is proof as much as it is confirmation. What's proofing is the process that would have to be undertaken in order to do it. We don't need and industry person to tell us that, they would have to tell us the miracle expection otherwise to make the topic not set in stone. Ultimately it would be expensive and time consuming, heavily delaying the console. It can be done but not in the same time frame. One thing we don't know is what exactly MS is using in their box. It could be an AMD APU like we have been leaked or that info could be entirely wrong and they never chose AMD or decided to switch a long time ago to launch this year. Or hell, they still are delayed and launching next year. It could happen.
I don't think you can just find industry people who will confirm this kind of stuff for the sake of confirming this stuff.
The most likely scenario is AMD and a 2013 launch though.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
