Possibly real then uh?
According to my calculations the main GPU would have some 1024 GFLOPS of theoretical performance. Considering the efficiency of modern AMD GPUs (around 15 GFLOPS/Watt), it's very possible the power draw, and pricing, are more or less correct. Should it release for the same price as the Wii-U, it would be a huge blow to Nintendo, unless it had a pricecut by then (assuming Wii-U releases for $299).

As someone with extensive experience in corporate strategy at a Fortune 100 company, this document likes EXACTLY like an internal presentation, particularily a first draft that is circulated prior to an actual meeting. To the folks saying that the quality is too low, if anything, the quality is almost TOO HIGH for a first draft.

Looks interesting and I do believe its right in line with the main points in my comparison thread.

NEXT-GEN COMPARISON THREAD

I saw this comment on Gizmodo and thought it was interesting:

First the Vita goes from IBM Cell Processor to ARM processors

Now the future XBox looks like it will be using ARM processors

If I had some spare investment money... I would be looking at ARM Holding very closely

Same here. At that price for those specs and features. Day one.

Well if you read the documents it states that they expect the Xbox 720 to be profitable each year of its life-cycle....

ARM makes sense for portables, x86 makes no sense at all. If they include 3 Power cores for BC, then, given Power is a highly scalable architecture and Power 7 outperforms the versions used in XB360, PS3 and Wii, not to mention ARM, then the only logical choice is using the desired number of Power 7 cores and avoid any unnecessary complication.

you probably should have got in on ARM stock before the smartphone/tablet boom as that means more to ARM than being used in a games console. Also there was no way that Sony would use anything other than ARM for the Vita, ARM wins hands down when it comes to performance per watt which is very important in a handheld device. That is why ARM chips are in 98% of mobile phones, the 3DS, most tablets and dozzens of other devices such as cameras, GPS, locator beacons etc as well.

I think there is something many of the people who say "299 with Kinect 2.0? Day one!" don't quite realize:

According to that document, what they call "Kinect 2.0" is not going to be an improved version of the current Kinect sensor as most people probably believe.

Instead, the document describes "Kinect 2.0" as a stereoscopic system using a pair of cheap and simple standard webcams with microphones. Meaning they are going to completely drop the expensive TOF/3D technology of the current Kinect sensor and replace it with something that costs only a small fraction to manufacture. So the 299 price tag is not unreasonable.

That would actually make it exactly the kind of motion control hardware I always predicted the PS4 to have. I'm wondering if the PS4 will still come up with the same solution.
