These rumors are too similar for them to not be true. There is a high chance that these leaks are actually real.


They could also be strategic, downplaying expectations or misleading so that when they do announce the actual console you will be surprised.  I wouldnt believe anything until the consoles are actually announced

http://oxcgn.com/2013/01/20/ps4-and-xbox-720-unveiled-dev-spills-the-beans-on-reddit/  PS4 the console for gamers nextgen, best versions of multiplatform games, best exclusives. very disappointed in microsoft, its looking like a ps2 to xbox difference.

Considering how much the PS2 outsold the original Xbox, I'll take that "difference" any day of the week!  Especially considering that the most powerful console of a particular generation has never been the sales leader, with the exception of the SNES if you exclude the Neo Geo and the 32-bit consoles released during its lifespan prior to the Saturn and PS1.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

It's just that simple.

If true, the likely analogy would be: Orbis:Xbox, Durango:PS2, Wii U:Dreamcast


Dont you mean Wii U: GameCube lol?

 

Those Mobile PCs or whatever they are called: Nvidia Shield , etc will be: Dreamcast.

No, GameCube was second-most powerful out of the three in that generation.  PS2 was last, Xbox was first.  So Wii U: Dreamcast is actually pretty spot-on if this turns out to be true.  GameCube doesn't get an equivalent in this because this time there will be two near the bottom level of performance and one way out in front... as opposed to two consoles being fairly close and one being noticeably worse.  If that makes sense.  This is kinda confusing, honestly lol.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

No.....Just no.

We have confirmation from Ubisoft and multiple developers the two consoles are almost exactly the same in power with both having slight advantages in different areas


its just hard to believe really, they can be close but one has to be more powerful, it seems ubi just doesnt wanna choose sides.


How is it hard to believe?  The 360 and PS3 are virtually identical in performance

But the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2, so if we shoved that in there, PS4 would be GameCube, and Wii U would be PS2.

Is anyone confused yet? :p


Oh I see and yes I am confused now :( (or confused myself earlier XD).

No, I think Wii U would be Dreamcast (as in like, not even close to the others), Durango would be PS2 (a noticeable gap but not too drastic), and PS4 would be Xbox (the clear, decisive leader in horsepower).  GameCube was near enough to Xbox in performance that it doesn't get an equivalent in this analogy.

PS2 outsold XBox because it was cheaper and had many more exclusives. Next-gen both consoles should be about the same price with very few exclusives save for the 1st party games.

I actually wasted a minute reading the link.
It says absolutely nothing about power/performance differences
(It actaully says nothing at all.. what a silly, content-free article)

There are way too many contradicting rumors. Tomorrow there will probably be another rumor that says that the Nextbox will be much more powerful than the PS4. We will know the difference in power when they come out.

To be perfectly honest, I don't really care which is more powerful.

Multi-platform games are going to be made for the lowest common denominator, anyway. Sure, one might have a few first-party exclusives "that you can't play on the other consoles" but who really cares? Naughty Dog games are going to look great regardless. 343i games are going to look great regardless. And PC, of course, will trump them both.

Maybe it's just me, because there are many other elements about games that interest me far more than "graphix", but I don't think it will make much real-world difference.

Moreover, "my console is more powerful than your console" fights have always seemed hellaciously childish.


what you talking about dude ps3 and 360 are equal in power yet some MP games are so bad on ps3, they can be considerd almost exclusive, hell yes specs matter.

That wasn't because of a difference in power, that was because of a difference in architecture.  Even then, most of the worst examples, such as Bayonetta, were because of developer incompetence.


not really, i read that it was a issue with the hardware where 360 had a nice advantage, for the first 3-4 years 360 games were a vastly better multiplatform experiance.


The only hardware advantage the 360 had was a slightly better gpu. They had the same amount of ram and the ps3 had a much more powerful cpu.  Overall, the ps3 was a more powerful system, and you can see that in there first party games.  Only reason ports were worse on the ps3 is because the architecture with the cell processor was hard to program for.  


there is also a memory issue http://kotaku.com/5885358/why-skyrim-didnt-play-nice-with-the-ps3 where 360 had a advantage. i can't really say the ps3 is more powerful, when 80% of the mulitplatform games look better, and the excusives are pretty close graphically, when gears of war 2 came out everybody at neopgaf said it looked as good or better then uncharted 2, and with halo 4 and foriza horizone and the excusives are pretty close, sony still has a small edge but they are pretty close.
