Funny how people argue one rumor by stating another rumor. " The next Xbox won't have GDDR5, the other rumor said DDR3". Although I could personally care less whether it has GDDR5 or DDR3 RAM. 

Ah, 'calm down bro'. The wet fart of internet discussion. 

I'm bringing up the guy's posting history and speculating on it, which is what one does when one is presented with people claiming to have insider knowledge on places such as Neogaf. 

You can of course do whatever you want but, again, especially for you, taking a post from user "Kazuya" is useless because of his posting history.

But either way, of course the post was wrong and everyone can see in seconds that almost nobody cared for this post.

The problem is that it doesn't matter if it is true or not because most of the people and the general media wil think that Sony did it first.

The people who will learn about the next xbox through the general media won't read/hear "MSoft's console has 8GB of GDDR5 memory", they will read/hear "...like the PS4, MSoft's console will also have 8GB of GDDR5" or "..the new Xbox also has 8GB of GDDR5, matching what Sony has done with the PS4" and things like that.

We, who are in a forum and talk and discuss about it will know the true, but what most of the illiterate consumers will get is that Sony did it first and MSoft did it later.

That's what happens when you are so secretive, your oponents may announce something before you and catch you on your pants. If this is rumor is true, then that is what happened. They had the advantage but because they didn't want to reveal anything, Sony did it first and "won" the idea that they did it first.

But as I said it won't matter because for the vast majority of consumers it won't affect the decision of purchasing the console or not.

Lol, I think you misunderstood why I linked that post. 

His 'tag' is the link under his name given by a moderator, not Takuya or whoever made the post.

There are multiple posts correcting him on it supposedly being DDR3 instead of GDDR5, from what we've heard from Edge rumours and so forth for a long while now.

The 'tag' could link to any one of those posts, it doesn't matter who wrote it, they are all saying the same thing. The mod just decided to link that post, probably because it was snappier. Nothing to do with taking Takuya's word over anyone else's.

well, i think that wouldn't change anything for the end consumer. reading "microsoft uses the same tech like sony" won't sell less consoles as "sony uses the same tech as microsoft". if both consoles release almost at the same time, the consumer will think both companies were first with the tech.

i don't even think that a reveal in february or only may will change anything. the only reason why i think companies should reveal the console before e3 is to have enough time at e3 to show more of everything. if they would first reveal the console at e3, the conference would take 3 hours which would be probably too long.

important are the weeks before release like the ad campaigns and the release itself and what the console has to offer.

i edited my last post which you probably didn't see. i already said there that only the final product really matters and not the dev kit stuff.

Thats what they all say

Remember when they tried to say the same thing about MS when Sony bought Gaiki? lol

we had that other rumor that said MS were matching what Sony announced so i expect them to have added the Gddr5.

True story lol

Good. Everyone wins except fan boys/girls.

cerny said the eye was develop in tandem with the the ds4.  hence the color bar on the front of them.  and tbh knowing kinect would come with every next gen xbox sony have to ante up.   it will be funny to watch the sony side talk about how great move is with the ps4 during e3 while bashing kinect 2.0 ... yes it will happen
