[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]It sounds like the next Nintendo will be a half step at best towards the next generation. That means it will limit itself to limited 3rd party support over the life of the console. It will get Xbox 360/PS3 ports then will get few next Xbox/PS4 ports (if any). KC_Hokie

asking thequestion on the assumptions its right, not saying its right.

[QUOTE="7suarez7"] Winning a gen is usually about making the most profit. *facepalm* The Wii was always going to win because it offered something different to what the HD twins do, which is why they are still eating away at each others fanbase. Also, a lot of PS3's sales have come from the fact that it has a blue-ray player. Had Xbox 360 had one PS3 would cease to exist. The same thing happened last gen, which is why the GCN didn't sell as well as it should have. It was a beast console, but it didn't have a DVD player. Sad really.tormentos

The cube was no match for the xbox and the xbox had the best looking games on console period.Rude_Bwoii

sure it was. the gamecube had more advanced hareware than the xbox, it's just that the xbox had more ram, (but less advanced) and higher clockspeeds on the cpu (again, less advanced than the gecko cpu in the gamecube). the gpu's were very comparable however, and the xbox gpu had a higher clockspeed, and the gamecube's flipper gpu had higher bandwidth.and only one game comes to mind that was more impressive than anything on the gamecube, and that's conker live and reloaded. which, doesn't tell us much because RARE has always got the most out of consoles. if they stuck with developing for the gamecube I'm sure we'd have gotten something equally impressive.for graphics capabilities, gamecube = xbox > ps2.theuncharted34

If real than the system won't be that expensive. Folks are saying it would be expensive, but the tech listed in those specs is old hat. Its old tech, especially in terms of the GPU. And a non-expensive system would be very much Nintendo. Problem is, those specs are totally fake. And the newer faked spec sheet was created to fix the problems with the older one such as the watermark and the SDHC overshoot. The oldone was proven absolutely fake "1. The CPU is weak. It isnt able to play Wii Games. That will never happen 2. The RAM is pretty slow. Even 3DS is double so fast and got almost the same storage. So this is never gonna happen 3. Nintendo always uses Flash not HDD. So this is never gonna happen. 4. This is Final Spec Sheet of Nintendo and they dont know the name of the console and use a Microsoft Watermark? Come on 5. SD-HC cards does not have a maximum capacity of 64 GB, it's 32 GB"

Oh boy, I've been facepalming at all your idiotic posts. But let me explain it to you. If Project Cafe uses an R700 based GPU, that is the AMD 4000 series or GPU family, which is outdated at this point.

There has already been a 5000 series (Evergreen GPU family), a 6000 series (Northern Islands GPU family), and a 7000 series (Southern Islands GPU family) which is releasing this year. Next year (2012), there will be a 8000 series.
