The only reason the xbox one is more expensive is that it has kinect in it. Both consoles have nearly identicle hardware with only minor differences compared to last gen. 

I expect 4GB of GDDR5...

Also,just to remind you,Hermits,our DDR3 RAM sticks may be cheap,but that doesn't apply to consoles,so please,no "but RAM is very cheap" arguments...

Current consoles use Rambus XDR(PS3) and GDDR3(360),both of them are faster than most DDR3 RAM sticks we use in our PCs today,and obviously,more expensive...

PC architecture doesn't need too fast RAM to work properly,so things like PC3-12800 DDR3(1600Mhz) works perectly fine for us,but due to nature of the console architecture,RAM faster than that is required for optimal results,and is significally more expensive that most "regular" DDR3 sticks we use in our PC...

The difference between PC ram and 360 ram, is that the 360 combines RAM and VRAM. All gaming PC's have a deticated graphics card(or video random access memory), and deticated RAM. The xbox has a small ammount of vram that is used for everything. The ps3 uses deticated vram like a pc, and has the basic equivilent of ddr2 ram along with GDDR4 for video processes.

Yes the console architecture is desiged to be effective with less RAM. Windows is a RAM hog, but hopefuly future windows will take up less processing power and RAM (not talking about windows 8, we don't talk aout that crap here). I prefer the ps3 design myself with the deticated video RAM, but microsoft already knows what they want. Haven't heard any specs on it tho so anything is possible.

What matters to a game: gameplay or graphics? Answer that.

Unless you are attatched to a specific console exclusive IP then I would say PC gaming has a greater varaity of gameplay and graphics. I would say that consoles have the edge in motion controls (though the razer hydra is pretty sweet) I'm not really a big fan of them. There are a huge ammount of great indie games that are really cheap and fun on PC, also steam is amazing. Soon there is gonna be the steam summer sale, and man that is a fun time to be a PC gamer. Last year I bought like 8 games for $25 which would have probably cost me $100 at full price.

PC is a great platform, and so are consoles. Remember, it's always great to have both.

I would have to say my favorite dev is valve. I do love blizard, but people at valve just seem nicer and more like actual gamers. What do you think?

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"]because it's getting Max Payne 3 and MP3 is testing the waters for GTAVForzaGearsFace

A delayed max payne 3, we get to play it first

lol what a joke PC is, are they really getting the delayed version of MAX PAYNE 3? hahaha

Delayed version, that sounds familiar. Oh yea, The Witcher 2. And the argument consolites use for the Witcher 2 are the exact same the hermits use. "Superior controls, superior graphics, superior port". I admit, for about a year or two the graphics of the new consoles and PC will look pretty close, but as past experience has show, that quickly ends. About 6 months after the 360 hit store shelves, an updated superior version of the GPU was released. I see no difference with this generation.

Also, you say the PC community was wining so they got Dark Souls. I think this statement is a little unfair. What's wrong with wanting a good game? We like games, we may not like a console that it is on, but the games only differ slightly.

Also I think it's very funny that many games on PC that are free are more enjoyable and even look better than $60 games on console.

I don't think you could have possibly picked a worse game for kinect. Okay, mario would have been worse. But seriously? Mortal Combat? Fighting games comprise of hitting a few buttons constantly until the other guy is dead. Using a 3d interface for a 2d experience is just wrong.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"] Microsoft is profitable with significant "cash at bank".groverslanding

But for total worth, sony a a cmpany is worth more than microsoft.

Sony total assets(all economic resources of a company)US$ 155.94billion. Microsoft total assetsUS$ 108.7billion. Even though sony has lost several billion dollars in the last year, they still are worth more.

[QUOTE="Flavorysoup"]

Sony is loosing money on the ps3, but that's pretty much it. It was a neccesary sacrifice, they pushed Blu_Ray over HD-DVD and won the format wars. But they sacrificed the profitability of the ps3 for it. Once the new consoles come out they should recover.

PS, numbers alone, sony has about $167 billionin total assets, and micosoft has about $112 billion
