A 6th gen core i7 ?

Yeah, I'm going to call BS on that ...

Edit: They said "near top-of-the-line graphics card" ? So are we getting a GTX 980 or an R9 390X ? 

Anyways if none of those things happen someone remind to bump this thread in a year or so ...

Yea, it is BS.  Like Sound wave also pointed out, it's probably a small site trying to get more traffic.  We already had a Gaf insider say that it was going to not even going to be on par with the PS4.  Not sure how accurate he will be.  We also had Nintendo say they weren't aiming for powerful/expensive HW. 

Realistically, I'm expecting a console on par or slightly more powerful than the PS4.  Of course, I don't see that doing much against a $199-$249 PS4.  Not with a PS5, that will probably be 4x-5x more powerful than the PS4, coming out a year or so after the NX.

NX is very likely coming next year, so in best case PS4 will have $300 price point than, and certainly PS5 will not come in 2017, more likely 2019-2020.

PS4 MRP can be $300 but we can get it cheaper (or) at least a free game everywhere. Also PS5 will come in 2018 in order to catch up with VR games along with PS4 backwards compatiblity so users who want can upgrade without losing anything and existing users will get another 2 years of support still. NX wont come next year mostly as they need lauch library and still console has not been announced so its not possible for 3rd party or first party developers to get ready in one year for launch and NX cant compete cheaper or similar priced PS4/XB1 3 years game library too.
