AAaaaaahH!!!!! I DIDNT think you'd talk GPU memory  xD! If it comes to graphics-card dedicated memory,  1GB is definetly  enough if MS isnt going True-HD, but stays on 1080p instead. (going for 4k x 2k resolution would be absurd - yeah i know,  stating the obvious here. )

@Play4Fun:

"Anyone willing to spend that much for a gaming device would just get the alternative...a gaming PC."

- Well, i think the problem isnt the price itself, but the fact that its a console that costs that certain ammount. (And by the way, When the new Consoles come out, they'll stay again over Gaming PC's, for at least a year. and when the PC has to be upgraded again, the console comes away as the overall far cheaper device. - not including game pricing here)

But look at what people pay for a Phone nowadays. so yeah, the problem is, people are used to pay 'as low as possible' for a console, making the PS3's 599$ back then somewhat insane in people's minds, while many bought a Phone or Tablet for more than this, without questioning the pricepoint. (And the Iphone for example is/was just overpriced for the hardware it contains.)

It's sad the only thing the new Xbox outclasses is my CPU speed.

Good thing those specs would do much more in a console than it ever could in your PC, eh?

Not really. Especially since the new systems will only support one monitor anyway.

Comparing them to Phones and tablets  make no sense because that's two different markets with products bought for different reasons that have different values to customers.

Consoles will never be valued the same way phones are valued. NEVER.

...unless they evolve in the future to multi-media devices used to interact with all entertainment, er, stuff in your house and become a big part of people's everyday lives. Until then, NEVER.

Custom Radeon HD Graphics.. hmh, couldnt tell if this outclasses my Graphics Card or not, since this is.. not much information regarding the card itself?  =)

@Unified Memory Architecture: Does that mean its the same type of memory usage as in the 360? that'd suck, since it would be even less overall memory then expected.. eww.

the graphics clock speed is about the same as a Radeon HD 5000 series card (5450, 5670)

it's close to 6850

the next xbox, im eager to see whats gonna happen.
This "onlive" like service that is rumored to have will be something to see.

"Ubisoft Montreal is hard at work on 'target boxes' based on the intended specifications of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor, according to an Edge source. Delivery of the first iteration of genuine devkits, running custom hardware, is expected to reach studios before Christmas, and all signs point to the finalised console arriving at retail in late 2012."
man these rumors just keep rolling in.
