And people said developers already had NextBox dev kits since early '11 lol.

And if not announcing 720 or whatever its gonna be called at E3 this year means that Microsoft has nothing to announce, then that goes double for Sony lol.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Just an observation, if these rumors are true and the CPU and GPU are integrated on one chip it would imply that the next XBox would (probably) be fairly modest in terms of processing power.

There (really) isn't much information there, so no one can say how powerful it would be, but cutting edge hardware tends to have fairly "large" processors that run relatively "hot". If you took a GPU and CPU that was cutting edge and integrated them together you'd end up with a very (VERY) expensive chip that would probably start a fire in a system as small as most gaming consoles.

They did/do.

MS has already made early dev kits... this article is referring to finalized versions. I guarantee you MS, its 1st/2nd party partners, and a very few select 3rd parties already have PC based dev kits. That's just how the industry works.

You can see this in last year's pre-E3 and E3 talk regarding WiiU and how many had their pre-dev kits.

This is why I still hold possibility in my bet with Jay520 as well as full knowledge we'll see a neXtBox at E3.
