Never thought I'd say this, but hyped for NextBox :0

What is Microsoft thinking? I'm highly disappointed, as an investor AND gamer. First off, I don't need something too high specced to play Halo and Call of Duty for the entire generation. Most importantly, having this high specced console is going to kill their profit margins.CallOfDutyRulez

Lol. How come everything you say is just... awful?

i dont give a crap which console has the better RAM or GPU, just show us the games you are offering.sts106mat

lol fail thread. Why in the world you do with need 12GB of ram? does next box console use up that much ram for pizza hut apps? lololol I dont see games on PS4 using over 6GB of ram. as for the two GPU's... why would you have 2 weaker GPUS's split? when its just better to have 1 stronger GPU.

Anyway... them specs are just dumb, and if true then expect it to cost more than PS4 since it has to come with Kinect as well. High launch price, high subscription price/pay for online seperate.... lol just pathetic.

I'd take 8GB of DDR5 rather than 12 of DDR4

8GB are more than enough for current and next 5 years of game development and having DDR5 can actually boost the performance significantly.

fun side note about huma hearing, Tigers communicate through long distances using a frequency that is just under human hearing. They have done experiments with this tone and it gives people an uneasy feeling when played. So in theory Sound Engineers could implant this tone into horror movies to help give you the heebbee geebbees

I'll never understand how people get hyped/dehyped(?) over rumors.

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"]Not me. Well, I'm only interested in the WiiU atm. Suppaman100

lol

and what musical group does being interested in the ps4 equate to?

oh and do the vita also..this should be good.

you wont be as soon as you see the softwarecrapbox720

Fake, and if real, that's probably a specific SKU.faizan_faizan

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"]But will it have any games?Nohtnym

Very interesting if true.  I'll probably end up waiting till 6 months after both consoles launch to make my final decision.  I'm leery of buying launch consoles after the RROD and YLOD fiascos that happened this gen.  I also need confirmation of the 720's OS RAM footprint.  If it's as huge as people have been saying......

Anyone know how GDDR5 and DDR4 compare speedwise?

[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] you said it man, with the pizaa hut app.  we are not far away from my xbox knowing when my fridge is getting empty and connecting to the internet to order my next groceries.     i'd really like it if the 720 and PS4 could wipe my ass too, you know.

Boddicker

Well speed wise DDR5 is definitely faster than DDR4. However, its not SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER as everyone "claims" it really is. If you're comparing 8GB of DDR5 to 8GB of DDR4, yes DDR5 wins outright and hands down. Given the apparent 12GB of DDR4 that is "going into" the next xbox, that would make it slightly better than the 8GB of the DDR5 going into the PS4. Also the PS4 is using "shared" ram for their system and graphics so that also plays into account when looking at which ram is better and what not. Obviously no one knows what/if the next xbox is gonna have shared ram as well, but if they do and the 12GB of DDR4 stands correct, then that will definitely win outright, regardless of the speed jump from 4-5. correct me if I am wrong, but didnt the 360 have independant for both the system and graphics and ps3 had shared? (i really cannot remember). if it is independant again this time around, and the rumours stand to be true, speed wise there is no comparison, the new xbox wins hands down.

honestly if these specs are true I would be insanely impressed and happy, the 64k is bumped up from 32, the ram bumped up, this would make cows cry, i see shengi is already backstepping, he predicted failureeeeeeeeeez for the 720, dont worry I hold him to it and will remind him when it doesnt fail.

As long as the games crap all over PS3 and Xbox 360, I am all for either PS4 or Next Xbox or BOTH.

12gb of ram could also mean that they expect this thing to be around for a long long time, and want to future proof. At the moment ram is one of the biggest limiting factors on consoles. If they solve that problem, they could exxtend this next gen for ages and ages, meaning a huge install base, and huge game sales and live subs.

Either way, my pc is better.

okay, so what the fvck is the point of 12gb of ram on day one or in five years? will the newbox run three versions of windows or wtf?silversix_

[QUOTE="silversix_"]okay, so what the fvck is the point of 12gb of ram on day one or in five years? will the newbox run three versions of windows or wtf?blackace

Actually no Windows 8 uses less RAM than Windows 7.  It's one of the leaner versions of Windows.

I saw this on another forum and didn't see it posted here.  Wow, RIP PS4 if this happens.  No "but teh GDDR5" here..

Microsoft better have a decent business model if they plan on releasing the next xbox with these specs. $199 up-front with 2 year contract @ $50/month and $60/year LIVE fee should be a good profit margin.CallOfDutyRulez

Go play some CoD and leave the discussion to the grownups.
