However, the same site also reported onproblems with the chip’s manufacturing with one source calling the component quality ‘painfully low’. The issue is rumoured to have cause production delays.

RROD again?

This just nothing like RROD,2 different thing


A new thing that will generate constant sales cause everyone has to buy like 2 consoles per year.
Only reasons the 360 did so good > The RROD combined with Halo,CoD and Banwaves.
Probably a good way of thinking from Microsoft - They have seen they can do this without a big community and now they will just do it again...Bring consoles that will die so everyone has to buy more than one piece.

2014 would be to late.
PCs are so far ahead and Next Gen Console will be even more outdated if they bring the specs that are probably now final(only M$ and Sony know them but they won't change much anymore) in 2014.
We need new consoles and the market needs them too.PS3 Exclusives still push somehow the console limits but even they are no where near the possibilities of PCs.

People still believe this? You realize the replaced consoles don't count towards the shipped amount that MS counts towards its fiscal report, right? Even if what you say is true (it isn't) it's a compliment to the amazing attach ratio that it currently has.

-YLOD was in no way comprable to the RROD. Not even close.


It isn't just rrod 360 had though. That was just the most well known problem because it caused the system to brick. There were all sorts of faults I noted in early shipments. Faulty hard drives, scratching discs, random screeching sounds coming from games like pdz, but the weirdest one I saw was when hitman was inserted and 'error' would come up saying 'please insert this disc into an xbox 360'. lol what does it think it is?

My brother had a saints row disc which was craked in the middle. No idea how that happened. It was while the disc was spinning inside. But it isn't only because rrod was far more widespread. The first year had all sorts of problems. Some of you will probably think I am making some of these claims up but I'm not.

I can confirm this (without proof, obviously). I had everything you could think of...except RROD!

What a nothing article...a couple of unverified rumours from some nobody site. One that doesn't matter and one that contradicts more established and viable information.

Do I still have my two original Xboxes and Xbox Debug Kit and do they still work? Yep.

Does my original 360 and 360S still work? Yep.

Have I heard of any faults causing the Surface to break? Nope.

I have no reason to doubt the NextBox build quality, and the RROD is in no way indicative of Microsofts current knowledge and ability in building hardware.

Man i swear!! FUCK THIS 2014 SH!T!! FUCK WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS SAYING!!

SONY BETTER RELEASE THIS BITCH IN 2013!!!!!

and wtf do they mean PS4 chip goes in production AFTER 720??


Hope this is false

Sony has no games announced for the end of the year next year they would be making a huge mistake to let MS and Nintendo rule the 2013 holiday season with all the hype, they need to release next holiday season and get some momentum.

The current xbox is probably the best hardware out there.

If by best you mean one of the far worse pieces of hardware in the history of hardware, then yeah.

I am sorry but the fail rate of over 50% is something that will forever stay with the 360.

It's not a car, it's not a blender. It's hardware at its most unreliable.

 

 

2005-2007 called, it wants your opinion back.

Yet despite that it still managed to have more lifetime sales then the former #1 brand in gaming for the past 2 generations.....

People prefer faulty hardware to a functional PS3.....that in itself says something.

Or maybe people having to buy more than one 360 inflated sales? I've never met someone who bought a pre-slim 360 and didn't have to replace it. I know people on their 3rd, 4th and even in one case 6th 360 because they broke. It gets to a point where you have a collection of 20 or so games for the 360 so making a switch doesn't make sense.

I call everything listed as baloney. It is clear now that Sony is going to launch PS4 fall 2013. As we all know, all the big guns games are coming before E3. There is nothing so far announced for release past June.

and why the Sony chip would have to wait until MS figures out there chip problems? None Sense.


They wouldn't if the problem is inherent to just MS chips , but with the rumors saying that AMD is the source for both companies chips  it could conceivably be even if it's slim that the problems are  attributable to both sets .
