    No Matter how high the hardware specs are its the devs that have to put the machine to its potential. theres no point having a 10 GHZ 100 core proccesor if the game is coded to only use 4 and it runs seamlessly reaching 10% of its power.... Actual figures are just made up. Im just trying to make a point

    This contradicts what I heard about Intel doing an all in one chip for the CPU and GPU for the PS4

    fgnonline.webs.com is a fake website.

    It publishes nothing but press releases mixed with 100% fake stories in a sad attempt to trick people.

    Its author wrote many fake Sega news stories years ago, then disappeared. Now this new site has been up & down over the past few months with nothing more than Sega press releases, then fake articles about a new Sega console. Now there's a new fake story saying the new Sega console is scrapped. Just look through his archives.

    Now he's onto making up fake Sony news.

    microsoft and sony are just hitting the profitable spot (finally)

    They won't be upending the cart anything soon.

    Expect to hear rumbles in 2012 and delivery in 2013 xmas or 2014.

    You mean the Larabbee? Has been in works way before ps3...And apparently is still in a high research only.

    Except, that report is from Feb 2009.

    Also, the licensing deal NVidia struck with Sony is nothing like the one for Microsoft. Sony fab their own GPUs because they bought the rights to the RSX.

    I think next gen will come for Xmax 2012. Xmas 2012 means acually we still have to wait for THREE years. The ps3 will be 6 years old, and the Xbox 360 will be 7 years old, so I think it should be around Xmas 2012.

    That's nothing, lol. More even for a system that hasn't evolved as for example PSX or PS2 did.

    I believe the ps3 is just in the starting blocks, SCE just started making profits with it and its development cost so much that they are not read to release a new console just yet, they need to make up for the losses of the playstation 3 first.

    The playstation 3 console is capable of great game rendering and is yet to be outdated, what will make the difference and make the ps3 stand against high ends pc, are the exclusives. I just hope they will have enough.
