XBOX 720 vs Playstation 4 vs Wii2

with all this talk about the next generation consoles and what point will tey release, i think SW should blindly speculate what they will be and whivh one will turn out the best. i see many people on these boards thinking that MS and sony are going to pull a Wii and make a casual underpowered console. i don't see that happening. i think the Wii2 will be comporable in power to 360/PS3 or maybe a little faster, with a heavily updated motion sensing control, voice activation, and head tracking. As for the Next Xbox and Playstation i see MS using an Intel cpu and an ATI gpu, and i think Sony is working on a heavily upgraded Cell2. i figure MS to go with an Octo-core @5.5ghz, and i will assume sony to use 3 cell chips each with 8 spe's @6.0ghz. MS will most likekly go with a quad crossfire gpu design(thinks 4 top line gpu's together), and i expext the same for sony. all three consoles will have blu-ray drives, some form of voice activation, and touchscreen on controller.

who cares , by the time they start coming out, or releasing good games it'll be 2012 and we wil all die a terrible horid death. can't wait :-)Microsoft1234

And that terrible, horrible death is Palin starting a nuclear war. :]

She thought that the U.S. uses its nuclear arsenal for moose hunting actually. Poor woman, she just wants to dine on moose flesh!

this is ridiculous. Do you know how much More money MS and Sony will lose if they go with those set ups?

They're too smart to use SLI/crossfire technology. Scalability is horrible and its much smarter to go with a high end dual core gpu similar to how the 4870x2 is configured.

Still, the specs wont be shabby at all. I expect a high end processor, just because of the high level programming next gen games will entail. Also, if speculation that MS will have eye motion sensory were to be true, and its very probable, a high end processor will definately be on the table. I think a high speed quad core is the best solution for this. Cost effective.

Finally, someone who actually knows what the term "next-gen" really means. People saying 2012: LOL. No way in hell MS is waiting 7 years between 360 and 720. 2010-2011 is more realistic. We honestly have no idea what will happen. Things are very uncertain in the industry these days. We don't even know how this gen is gonna end, much less how the next one will begin.V_Isle

wii in 1st

360 in a strong second

ps3 trailing behind with lackluster sales in 3rd

i wouldn't worry that much. we go through this every gen saying things like how can graphics get better, or there is no innovation and the consoles always end up fine. just think of this

N64 - 64 bit processor, cartrige media, analog controller

Dreamcast - 128 bit processor, CD media, memery cards 12mb

Xbox - 128 bit processor, 733mhz cpu, Nvidia gpu, DVD media

Xbox 360 - triple core cpu 3.2ghz duel thread, ATI 500 mhz Gpu 48 unified pipelines, 120g hard drive, 720p, 1080p

PS3 - Cell cpu 3.2 ghz, 550 mhz RSX w/24 pipelines, Blu ray media, 80gig,

its not as expensive as you think to produce a Octo cre cpu, remember consoles always get chips at lower than customer retail sale, because they have good relation with MS, sony, and Ninty and they know they can pay back IBM, Intel etc. other ways. they also like consoles to be the show piece for their new chips. i wonder if MS will do the CPGPU integrated with AMD and ATI parts.

yeh, im thinking that these next gen consoles will have insane gpu rendering and processing power. Probably a gpu 5x faster than the 280x. Just think about how far we've come from a 7800 gtx and ~5x performance increase of gpus in 3 years.

I think MS will release a giant RROD as their new console in 2012. They'll do it for the lulz.

I could see Nintendo following the path they took with the Wii, although it should atleast have 360/PS3 graphics.

Sony will likely take a different path from this gen because things didn't go to well for them this gen.

MS will tell everyone that the new box is RROD proof but I think it will be 50/50 on if they tell the truth.

She thought she could sell the nukes on eBay. :[

I want a PS4 by next year already, its time for change and move on.

Nintendo- 720p, friend codes now 26 digits long

M$- launches a year too early, again, this gen RROD now a hologram projected onto your forehead

Sony- to ship console without a laser nine opticable, fanboys become enraged.
