Well, it seems that it gets to where we can say that we won't see major differences in terms of power between PS4 and NextBox:

That moment when you're sure that Next PlayStation will be slightly more powerful than Next Xbox (or vice versa). True, vindictive ecstasy!

So MS, keep them damn specs coming! :)

Now it just needs to be announced.

Hmm, interesting. But, who's ryan payton?

Exactly. But it seems MS is not going to hurry - I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't surprised by PS4 specs so they seem to be quite comfortable by now. 

no clue if nextbox will have better specs as we expect or not but if it will also have better ram we should just have listened to d-joe who said that for months now because of his chinese source

moores law should not allow to make one console more powerful than another as long as they are released at the same time.
it just depends on wether kinect2 is integrated or not as MS has to reduce the costs for gaming hardware because of kinect.this may have an impact and wether windows8 is integrated(this may reduce the optimasation of the console hardware)

1. Of course there can be differences but Sony and MS also aim for the same target-group so yes they won't be very big differences. But look how underpowered the Wii was in comparison to PS360. But this was intentionally :)

2. Kinect is something that will hit price but not performance. But please don't say Windows 8 (or whatever MS will use) will affect performance of NextBox. MS builds compilers, operating systems and dev-tools since "ever" and I think almost noone out there knows as good as they do how to build software, especially for games (DirectX, DirectCompute (TressFX, for example). Thinking this would be a disadvantage for MS is rediculous, sorry :) It wasn't the case with first Xbox, it wasn't with 360 (remember the less memory footprint they had in comparison to PS3's?) and it will not be with NextBox.

Two machines can't be same because they will be manufactured by totally different companies even though these companies are using similar type of parts with little bit of different specs.
Still we are not sure about either of them and what will be the outcome but I' am really inclined towards ps4 because it is nearly impossible to have better specs than ps4, price will blow up the roof.

You are talking about prices while we don't know how much the PS4-hardware costs when unassembled, nor do we know the price it will hit our living-rooms. But you are already implying it can't get better for MS because the price would "blow up the roof"? Do prices go up exponentially? But I will keep it as he said: they have almost equal performance, while one could be *slightly* better than the other one.
