The thing is both of these are pretty sad GPUs. WiiU will not be blown out of water spec wise if this turns out to be true. |
i have no knowedge of tech but how important is a GPU

sure they must have been at least a bit accurate before but I bet you anything there would be another source that posted those info before them. Again tell me...how in the world do you think IGN would know the sensitive data that was leaked during this incident? lol I mean seriously Even the older rumor stuff were posted AFTER other soruces started to talk about it. IGN is not the place to go if you want to know what the latest rumors are |
I'm not stating that they would have access to the sensitive data that is in the court filings. I am speculating that "maybe" their source is someone in the upper echelons of NVIDIA which is why they decided to post the rumour along with the lawsuit. News Corp is their parent company so maybe they hacked it,lol.

IGN was accurate enough when the Wii U and 3DS specs were released. So why wouldn't they be accurate now? :/

Listen to yourself man..you are almost hoping the older rumors are true or something. Trust me...usually IGN is full of shit. If you want the latest rumors leaks etc go to the forums like gaf and b3d etc. They will do a much better job at it.

Sony's only ambition now, is making profits anywhere they can. Those specs seem to be in line with that. |
As far as i know the console industry is still using the same business model. Release desirable consoles that cost a premium to make, sell it at a loss then get profits from the software. This has not changed.
Why on earth would they build a console that's pretty much an old, low end PC which nobody would even recommend for gaming? Turkish was right...laptops are more powerful than this. This will be the most extreme thing sony would do, and they would need some crazy gimmick (akin to the wiimote) to spur on sales. They would be almost entirely relying on the casual market.
By releasing a significantly underpowered console...sony will be at odds with the major developers who have more ambitious plans, they will also alienate their core market and audience who are expecting atleast a modest increase in power and the expectations in games that come with it.
Unless theres more to the story here it wouldnt make sense to release consoles on par with the wiiU (which most people do not distinguish from current gen even though it is more powerful). Nintendo is okay with this though as they have invested heavily in there tablet like experience...using the same strat they used with the wii or atleast trying to do so.
Now dont get me wrong, im not saying sony will put a HD8970 in there console (thats impossible) but they wont go the other extreme either and put something low end like this in there.
But then again we also dont know the specs of the APU...but if its an A-8 theres only so much room for GCN cores...which again is why this rumour doesnt make sense.

Well its either that or the game is a linear QTE fest. |
How linear would you say? Uncharted Linear?
You can take out 60fps cos I probably won't even notice the difference. But 1080p is a big deal for me, especially for the 65" Tv I'll intend to buy in summer 2014 (yes, I'm saving up already!!)

No, the industry knows that this will be a shorter console generation. Maybe only 4 years, so they need a profit early.

Carmack predicted next gen consoles will only be able to do 30fps, so maybe he was right.

| Shinobi-san said: With a 7670 and a 6670(even worse!) you looking at a slight step up from current gen...think along the lines of WiiU. WiiU is definitely stronger than current gen, and i believe we will see the difference in a year or two maybe less. But its not going to be a massive difference....and its certainly gonna be at 720p. Given sonys recent ambitions they made public...the specs do not aline. |
Perhaps I'm merely misunderstanding you, but serious question: what in Sony's history makes you trust their word on the performance of their not-yet-unveiled consoles?
