It's funny that people now act like the difference is insignificant. It's not. The Xbox has an obvious advantage with third parties this generation. If it loses that, it loses part of its appeal.

True, but i'm pretty sure the games will end up looking similar.

As we said before, the PS4 specs were bang on except for the extra RAM added late into dev. If the durango specs are even remotely correct it is a piece of crap, even if you doubled it's RAM it would be inferior to the PS4. Every single component in the leak is inferior and everything we know of MS and their practices as the generation has progressed has made me cautious in believing they would give us a machine that can compete with the ps4 rather than the wii u.

I thought the only real difference from the latest vgleaks was the gpu (1.6/8 TF vs 1.2TF)? and maybe ram type?

GPU, RAM, OS reserves 30% of cpu / RAM as it runs windows 8 / DVR functionality. It could all be wrong, but the most regular rumours peg it as being weaker on paper by quite a large margin considering all the components are of the same generation. I mean even if you took it as JUST being the gpu, it's the equivalent of a geforce GTX 560 vs a 580 which would leave the ps4 running games at about twice the framerate at the same settings.

Interesting to see how it all turns out? I'm predicting nothing less than a full riot at several of these gaming sites/forums that took the MOST extreme positions on this console. Even I intend to stick it to a few of these sites and their moderators who have been at the center of every explosion that's taken place these past few months.

Since the event is going be held on the Xbox campus, the presentation is probably going to be quite similar to the Surface reveal. So expect a quieter more intimate setting than what we saw from Sony in February. And if it's anything like the Surface reveal then expect them to talk alot about the console's specs, features and capabilities. Most importantly we're actually going to SEE the final product. And finally put the most ridiculous rumors to bed.

LOL. It's just a funny gif I saw on gaf. Nonetheless, I fully expect for the games that are put on display to showcase that there's no reason to be worried about the console's power.

Good so all the rumors can stop. 60 min about the vision of xbox. I think they will show the box itself. I wonder what the reaction will be after the event.

Interesting look back at the Xbox 360, and the early promises made about it, and if they came true...

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/04/microsoft-xb...

This one always ticked me off...

“On the [Xbox Live] Marketplace… she might never pick up a controller, never take a run in the halfpipe but she’ll be able to design and sell stickers, shirts, boards, soundtracks and even design her own skate park for those hardcore gamers.” — J Allard, 2005 Microsoft E3 Press Briefing.

The “she” in this particular statement was the infamous “Velocity Girl,” the online screen name of a hypothetical young female non-gamer who would use her Xbox 360 as a place to create and sell her own designs and products.

Microsoft promised an online modding community where users could sell their digital wares for cash on the Xbox 360 marketplace, but the company never really even tried. Throughout the system’s lifespan Microsoft never implemented any large-scale programs that would have brought about the non-gaming hipster-design revolution that it prophesized.

We’ve seen a couple small attempts over the years, though. The Forza Motorsport storefront, for instance, allows players to create car designs and other goods to sell for in-game credits — but not real cash.

Players creating items and selling them at a profit has actually has become a reality — but it’s Valve doing it on the Steam service, not Microsoft.

I remember all that, live became a closed platform the longer along the lifecycle. It was meant to be this great open thing but they wouldnt allow mods, then they started screwing with size limitations, then it was MMO's finding it difficult to get on. Now it's indies and patch limitations. I mean when theyre charging per patch to the dev, actively stifling improvement, then you know theres something rotten.

This is why I think people will be cautious going into MS' conference, we've heard it ALL before and we KNOW that they haven't met their own claims.

Well last I checked it didn't have developers up in arms over fees. But that could be from the fact that the most popular games get published by Sony itself.

Phil Fish isn't a developer we should listen to when he's "up in arms," and the original "$40,000" figure was thrown out by Tim Schafer and it wasn't a platform specific complaint. It was just "consoles."
