If 720 is $350-$400, Wii U is going to have some serious trouble moving units. That's a sexy price.

That probably also means it will not be as powerful as many have predicted (especially if they bundle kinect functionality), and the Wii U will most likely have a price cut by then and be in the $250-$300 range with a lot of good games.

Depends how big of a loss MS is willing to take on the console. Wii U is selling at a small loss because of the tablet controller. Didn't we get estimates that the tablet alone was $75-$100 of the cost? Plenty of wiggle room there for MS to take a small loss especially if XBL is still subscription-based to recoup initial loss on units.

It will definitely be more powerful than the U, but I've seen some pretty ridiculous rumors about the power, I mean rumors of specs that would cost $1000-$1500+ to build as a PC.

PC needs to do much more than a video game console, apples to oranges.

Sounds quite awesome, but wouldn't that cause a few problems? Like, wouldn't be quite a confusing way to work?
Also, a $350-$400 price is great, but I don't think it will be nearly as powerful as the rumors suggest at that price.

I have a feeling that M$ and Sony are each going to do something odd, one of which is going to fail miserably, but I have no idea which one

I would love for all the next gen consoles to succeed, but I really can't see it happening unfortunately, one is going to die

Due to the lack of communication inside developer studios. Each employee accidentally worked on a different game.

Introducing! PaTChWoRK GenRE Gaem!!! Where every 5 minutes you experience a completely new genre, with completely new characters, in completely unrelated story lines, with completely different art styles,. One minute you will be playing an action adventure game as a maniac hyperactive monkey and the next you'll be playing an RPG designed by a maniac hyperactive monkey! The changing possibilities are endless as no one knows what was going on during the making of this game. Enjoy breathtaking half sentences and boss fights with sudden surprise endings before the final blow. You'll never have to pay attention to progression again!



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

The thread title just gave me a nightmarish vision of Steve Ballmer with "bitch tits".

I honestly don't know what to think.

I understand that by acting like that the leaks are less probable and even if there is a leak it won't have much info about the whole project, but it also seems to be a very inefficient way to use their resources.

Wouldn't it be a better way if the chosen ones went to another floor/building where only they had access and worked there all together until their job is done?

I agree, which is why I think some of the crazy spec rumors are false.
