We'll just call it BS4 for now

I'm hearing the same thing about the PS4/Orbis... too bad, if this is true, I'll be dedicating myself to Nintendo and PC gaming (though I will continue to expand my ps1, ps2, ps3, and psp collection). I also hear that console wont have backwards compatibility... IDK what sony is thinking, but I wont support this.

 

Ha, I just remembered. I'm guilty of spreading around PS4 rumours like butter.
Took my PSX on public transit. I suppose you guys can figure out what people thought.
The looks on their faces were priceless.

 

Don't see how this is remotely surprising, as the current PS3 models do not have BC either. Would be odd if Sony did another back flip and returned to BC again. This is the way of the future :'(

 

Lets wait a month and see how much of this stuff I pulled out of my ass will be reported as fact.

I can't wait to read about Holographic DICKS on Kotaku.

 

More Rumor Bullshit, This time about the Wii U

I dont' believe a word of it unless Nintendo Gimped early development kits or code that puts them at a disadvantage for 3rd Party developers

 

I believe that stuff about the Wii U though

 

Bullshit. They showed realtime demos at E3 that looked as good or better than a 360/PS3 game. They've also officially announced Wii U versions of 360/PS3 games.

 

The Wii U is going to be powerful. The rumours are absolute shit. A Power7 processor? That's some engine right there, just on the CPU. It just doesn't make sense that the Wii U can't beat the RSX. Wasn't it based off a 7800gt?
Once again, I've got high hopes. Nintendo hasn't really had a huge failure, really. The Wii was the only current gen system that didn't crash and *burn*. Yeah, it was low power, but it was low power for a reason. The Wiimote had it's issues, but then again it was a whole new concept for a remote.

 

Nintendo Innovated gameplay possibilities with the Wii. Not with graphics and raw horse power but that's perfectly fine.

And the RSX was based on the "NV47" apparently which is similar to the 7800/7900. But the RSX itself has been widely known as the PS3's weakpoint, a bottleneck pretty much(And if the WiiU sports anything newer than a 7800 there is no way it's weaker than the PS3/360. Especially when the PS3/360 can barely render things at 30FPS@720p60). Things that would normally be done on the GPU would have to be offloaded on to the SPU's of the CPU.

From what i've understood from interviews and various papers from developers
PS3 CPU>360 CPU (to an extent)
360 GPU>PS3 GPU
Also:

So there is just no way this is true.

 

Wow. Had no idea the RSX was below the level of the 360 GPU (whatever it's called). Go figure.
When the PS3 was in development, the 7800GT was a new card, but so was the 7800GTX. Would've been nice for the GTX, for a slight increase in power, but I can see why they didn't-IIRC even with the "Five hundred and ninety nine US dollahs" price tag they still lost money. The hardware was very nice, but the CELL processor and RSX chip being so physically huge and expensive (especially the CELL) that it wouldn't make sense to put in anything higher, or Sony would be digging a grave. Or, a deeper grave, for that matter.
Let's hope that the PS4, as per my friend (well trusted source), doesn't use a 7670, but something a little better. I am happy that they are looking to using the die shrink for the GPU. That way they'll avoid any heat issues.
