Why don't you just black out anything that can be traced back to you and post it? Even if they are restricted by the NDA there was nothing stopping them from telling everyone that the Xbox has 2 GPU's, and not going into details. That alone would have been enough to shut a lot of people up. But instead they bring up how superior their programing is. When you take into account that MS said that kinect 2 cost just as much as the box and expect to break even on the system just shoots this whole damn rumor in the head. So back it up. 


Why do you keep making this statement.  It really shows that you do not know how a NDA works.  You cannot disclose anything, not make any reference cannot say something exist or could exist or might exist.  You cannot make any reference that leads to people knowing that something exist.  If under NDA you basically just say no comment and leave it at that.  What you definitely cannot do is say you have something that can only lead to a product not announced by the company that put you under the NDA.  Its really that simple.

The NDAs we have companies sign when they use our software is pretty intensive.  One mistake by someone releasing this info has huge penelties. The reason for NDAs is because the company does not want their competition to get wind of their stuff and try to match it at the same time as you bring out your product.

 

There's nothing, and I mean nothing that would stop MS from telling everyone they have 2 GPU in their systems. And not telling how they are linked together. That's the only part they should have left out and the only part that that needs to be addressed right now. They didn't need to have the hotchips discussion and leave half the crap out, they didn't have to show the mother board. They could have just had a few slides like Sony, detailing what's in the box and nothing more. 

So their master plan was to lose an ass load of ground to Sony, only to come out when it's too late and tell the world they've been lied to yet again? 

So either 1 of 2 things happened. 

1. it isn’t true and this is all made up by the internet. or 

2. They've made the biggest blunder ever in the history of video games and quite possible electronics.

And there’s still the fact they MS them self’s stated that the Kinect cost just as much as the box and they expect to break even on each system sold. It just doesn’t add up. Why go for two GPU’s when you could have used one with twice the power for the same cost?
