If you take Moore's law into account it will be 2x more powerfull than current cosoles max. But I think the next-box will be the most powerfull because the Xbox360 is also the most powerfull of the 2...


First of all,

That's not Moore's law.

I don't think Sony will take a big gamble on raw power again like they did with the PS3


Raw power isn't expensive if you don't use some crappy proprietary CPU technology like Cell.

That isn't how Moore's law works. Moore's law says that transistor counts (which also means a similar increase in processor performance) will double every eighteen months.

If we assume the next Xbox comes out Fall 2013, that will be eight full years between console releases (Xbox 360 came out Fall 2005), or 96 months. 96 months is 5 1/3 "18 month" periods. This means that the next Xbox should be  2^5.333  = 40.32 times the power of the Xbox 360.

Wii U doesn't really look anywhere close to 40 times the power of the 360 to me. The gap in graphic power between Wii U and the next Xbox might very well be even bigger than the gap between the Wii and the Xbox 360. 

Whatever....But I actually meant 2x powerful as the WiiU...

You can't just "WHATEVER" f'in up MOORE'S LAW like that and then stroll back in here like nothing happened and proceed to give us your technical prediction, dude.

 

As far as anyone should be concerned your credibility is completely gone and you have no say so.

Sorry, but that's what happens when you don't know what the heck you're talking about.

There is absolutely no way Sony is going to go the powerhouse route after the PS3 and Vita, if they have any sense left.

Microsoft is going to push the 720 and it will definitely be the strongest console. Sony's in a tough spot, they need to innovate in a meaningful way that doesn't require them making a super expensive console; they just can't keep doing their loss-leading plan.

That's where I think you're wrong.

 

If there's anything Sony's Shown this generation, is that when they are behind, they continue put their best foot foward and press even harder.

 

PS3 is going to be pretty powerful, and nothing thus far has shown that they are going to deviate from this trend.

 

TRENDS > guesswork.

Just sayin.

So it seems Sony's going to continue falling down into bankruptcy and won't be around in a few years. TRENDS > guesswork, as you said.

 

That's really too bad.. =/

Why would the approx. power of a ATI 7870 in a PS4 that's released in Holiday 2014 cause Sony to go into bankrupcy?

He means that Sony is trending towards bankruptcy as they lose more money every year.
