I thought it went without saying we were talking about the rumour, I hardly claim that Microsoft actually unveiled anything yet.


You stated your opinion as fact. Are you someone who knowngly states a rumour as a fact? That is called a troll and that is what you're doing.

Ubisoft's statement should be music to anyone's ears, of course it's not an absolute claim in performance but more power in a new gaming console can only be a good thing for people who like gaming.

It sounds like you just want it to fail?

What you think it sounds like isn't what I'm doing you dumbfuck. Let's get real, everyone here knows the rumour, and everyone knows it's still just rumour.

According to VGKing (I think it was him...) NOBODY wants the NextBox to fail :)

Excuse me while I spit out my tea in shock and try to take that comment seriously ;) hehe


I think he meant they just don't want NextBox to not succeed :) But as this gen already showed, forum-trends, forum-majorities and forum-facts seem to belong to a world which shares close to nothing to the real world out there ;)

lmao, I'm with you lol. Although these simple 2 lines sound insane...there's a definite sense of truth in them! I think of it as when we're all young and have a little weak friend who we keep by our side to poke fun at, we're friends as long as he doesn't become as popular as ourselves. Then it's time to declare way...(Xbox1/PS2 - PS3/Xbox 360 says hello)

Oh, one negation too much ;) but you got it. And yes, the anology is quite true, especially when many of them we are talking about are definitely still young :D

It's what ppl seem to do: They buy a product and if this does not succeed/dominate they feel they made a bad decision which is nonsense to me. Especially this is dangerous if you want to discredit others to feel better because your favorite product isn't dominating. This is mainly why we have console-wars... (and others like Intel/AMD, Apple/World, redheads/blondes ;))...



So basically the 720 is the nearly the same thing as the PS4 except with a more accurate and advanced Kinect and the immersive thing he's referring to is probably the illumiroom which looks great. Overall, the 720 looks more impressive to me provided those rumors are correct.

Not sure if serious.

HD-twin repeat generation confirmed. BORING!



Isn't it quite funny how quick people are to derail this thread and troll?

Lucky we're not living 500 years ago, you'd have been cast into a river like a witch for being so sensible! lol.

It's pretty obvious when all's said and done that the 720/PS4 are going to be fairly close in performance, much like this generation. I'm sure Sony 1st party studios will be pulling out some tricks that won't be matched on the 720, much like with the Xbox 360/PS3, but I'd say that's more a testiment to their talent and Sony's ability to invest the time needed than anything else.

Having said that, it's all x86 based now, so who knows.

People seem to be forgetting that the actual confirmed specs of the PS4 although close to the rumours certainly weren't spot on and much less is known about the 720. We basically have a load of rumours peddled by morons who sound like they don't even know how to turn a computer on.

Take that latest one about the 720 having 12 processing cores for the GPU and the PS4 having 18...theose bits sound believeable, until one reads the rest of what this supposed insider has to say...Then he/she just sounds like a twatty 14 year old fanboy who doesn't even know what a graphics card is. Sorry I can't find the actual article on N4G to quote and can't be bothered looking, but we've all read it. :)

With that standard of rumour - which is all we've really had, nothing is set in stone at this point except the PS4 is going to be a damn fine machine for coding on, the 720 is going to be in a similar area of performance and that we should be expecting some good visual upgrades for next gen.

So... does 50% less GPU performance equal being aligned?


Probably, it'll have the same amount of ram and a similar cpu, the gpu will be weaker, Durango is said to have 12 CUs while PS4 has 18 unified CUs. Durango has 2 CUs less than HD7790, PS4 has 2 CUs less than HD7870.


Pretty sure that latest rumour you've based your post on is a load of rubbish, purely because the other information in the rumour is clearly written by an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about and is Sony slanted in it's writing style. People who unveil technical rumours in that way aren't to be trusted from past experience.


Durango rumours come from the same source PS4 rumours came so they're most likely true, atleast the ram and cpu part.

Yeah, the illumiroom thing looks great, at least to me. 

Yeah it will be boring, but at least both will be more competitive which means lower prices and more exclusives etc. And both will sell more than the WiiU.

What if Microsoft just "leaked" some fake information just to throw us off. Then when they announce it they'll say no mandatory kinect. And then Pitbull comes out and dances.

Yeah, we can't rely on rumors. 

And the thing that will determine the success of both machines will be their price. If both are too expensive, then both will not sell many units.
