I thought this said 'Scrabble' instead of 'scalable' and got excited for a minute...



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

So if they are building a PC, does that mean MS officially dropped out of the console race?^^

Seriously, the entire purpose of a console is that you buy that device and are basically set for x amount of years and that you don't have to worry about specs and which game needs which hardware to run properly. But I'm not a MS customer so this doesn't concern me.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Reading the GAF thread on all these just fried my mind...all I understood for certain is that chances are their next console is very pc like and will act as a media center hence dividing up the resources ...or something like that :P someone like Zarx will know about this better than me for sure


I don't know shit lol I'm just guessing, patents are always filled with legal stuff.
