Just from a SW perspective how great would it be if true. That would be the most epic day in system wars history. I pray it isn't true just for the mods sake.

This is completely made up by mistermix guy. The XBO is an awesome capable machine, its not as powerful as the PS4, let it rest. This isnt true.

If MS really had these "tricks" stacked in their favor they would be going out of their way to make it known.  You wouldnt be reading rumors about it, you'd be reading official statements.

Some MS fans are starting to sound like early era PS3 shills.  Hidden powahs and all that nonsense.

"According to Eurogamer, Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison will be there to present an Xbox One presentation at 12pm BST on Thursday September 26. The session will also be streamed online on the Eurogamer YouTube channel."

I find this interesting as the NDA will be lifted the 25th.... That's when AMD announces their line.poster on their forums

Any significance?

The fallout from cows committing suicide will be glorious. There are other discussions that this is why BF4 was still shown on PC at pax prime. Because EA still has to sell games on the PS4 and to reveal now how far ahead the X1 is, would hurt them. I just love my tin foil hat.

It's interesting nonetheless. This would be even more good news for the XBox One. We'll wait and see if this rumor is true or not at the end of the month.

It would be nice if everyone started spilling the beans about their hidden secrets, lots about these systems is still pretty unexposed. I'd like to see some gaming journalists to get some extensive hands on and compare performances of the various titles.

In this case Microsoft wouldn't be able to release the information until AMD actually announced the product to their shareholders and the public. That's not happening until the end of Sept.

Agreed.  These are just some last ditch rumors.  People really shouldn't care anyways, brute hardware superiority has never been the defining factor of a consoles enjoyment and its not like these consoles are worlds apart anyways.

I also see pop in and tearing on the PS4 version of Watchdogs. I haven't seen X1 footage yet but it may prove to be another BF4 scenario where the X1 is going to run away with it.

This news actually goes back to the Project Durango days and the preliminary specs listed two GPU'S .

First I'm hearing of it. Also it wasn't a "discrete CPU". It we as a "Discrete GPU Core Stacked Inside the APU".

As I said in a previous thread. Your trying to tell me that not only does Microsoft's APU feature 8 Jaguar Cores, 15 special processors, an AMD GPU, 32MB or ESRAM but also a stacked Volcanic Islands GPU with 2GB of GDDR5 RAM? yeah, okay. Not only would that be really damn impressive but also expensive as ****.

Btw- whose to say the PS4 doesn't have more hardware in it that we know about? We really don't know anything yet about the actual hardware configurations inside either of those consoles. Just comparisons to PC hardware and some speculations.

They also expect to make a small profit off of every unit. I doubt they'll reach that target with that kinda of specs + a Kinect bundled in.

Sony very well could have. It's a rat race to lock down the final hardware and not be stuck behind your competitor. Maybe this is why MS took so long on the release date, because they wanted to know for sure they were ahead.

Don't forget the free FIFA/Forza they're giving away too in Europe. They won't make much, if any profit at launch.

Agreed, and I probably will upgrade my PC here soon.  I'm excited for these next consoles, but I'll give it some time.  I've been burned too many times as an early adopter.

Haha, thanks.  I may talk fanboy shit sometimes, but I try to distance myself from the herd.

But they have no idea what Sony has except a 1.84 TFLOP console. And we don't even know if that's true or not. It may be higher. Sony may have boosted its hardware specs too for all we know. Remember, you haven't seen any actual PS4 units in the wild yet. Just raw chipsets under glass. Only AMD knows for sure since they built both APUs.

Everyone thinks Kinect is expensive. It's 2.0. Maybe it's carried over tech that we think should cost a lot.

[QUOTE="Netherscourge"][QUOTE="FoxbatAlpha"][QUOTE="Netherscourge"]Btw- whose to say the PS4 doesn't have more hardware in it that we know about? We really don't know anything yet about the actual hardware configurations inside either of those consoles. Just comparisons to PC hardware and some speculations.

Sony very well could have. It's a rat race to lock down the final hardware and not be stuck behind your competitor. Maybe this is why MS took so long on the release date, because they wanted to know for sure they were ahead.

Yes! This is truly an arms race. It is exciting to see it all unfold! But they have no idea what Sony has except a 1.84 TFLOP console. And we don't even know if that's true or not. It may be higher. Sony may have boosted its hardware specs too for all we know. Remember, you haven't seen any actual PS4 units in the wild yet. Just raw chipsets under glass. Only AMD knows for sure since they built both APUs.

[QUOTE="Netherscourge"][QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"][QUOTE="FoxbatAlpha"] Hey they did say you get a lot for $500. Just saying.

They also expect to make a small profit off of every unit. I doubt they'll reach that target with that kinda of specs + a Kinect bundled in.

Don't forget the free FIFA/Forza they're giving away too in Europe. They won't make much, if any profit at launch.

well the exchange rate makes it over $650 in EU, that's more revenues per console than in North America, they can afford a game or two, they have to pay EA for FIFA obviously but Forza is developed/published by MS, it'd cost them nothing to throw in
