This thread has been ... something.
Anyway, I'm not technical enough to have any meaningful response to these reveals, but it sounds like those involved like what they're hearing. That's great.
The other thing that's less interesting/more frustrating is that leak rant by the misterx person. What was all of that??? That was really nutty and completely fascinating. Could we really see such high drama like that in this industry still in this day and age? I personally don't think so, but there's one thing that makes me really wonder if this person is crazy like a fox. From the VentureBeat article:
"Microsoft disclosed some details but left many important pieces out. Evidently, Microsoft doesn’t want to tell all of its competitors about how well designed its system is."
This, along with the fact that so much was displayed behind closed doors still (with NDA's) make it clear that there is more to be revealed. How significant are such things? We'll have to see.
As for his crazy conspiracy theories? He honestly has a point. The dialogue on the gaming forums have, for many months, been entrenched with the "fact" that the PS4 is notably more powerful than the X1 yet cheaper. At this point, any information that even hints they are closer in power gets categorically dismissed and shut down as false. At this point, as someone that has seen the gaming forum culture for over a decade, I would be surprised if even something official was actually accepted and believed. The "PS4 is more powerful" train is a rolling and only an act of God could slow it down in the gaming forums.
All things considered, though, this is all just background drama. The games will tell the story, especially the ones that are a) fun and b) give us something that looks and feels next gen.
