It is a fact that the leaks are a year old, possibly even older. This has been stated over and over again on GAF as well. #12.1

Nyeah... I don't give a r@ts @ss to be honest. It'll come out when it comes out, and I'll 100% buy it. I'm not one who invests much into all the wild speculation or hype given to the next gen consoles. That being said, I still take an interest so I read a lot of articles, but at the same time I don't get all hyped up or bummed out with every piece of info.

And the gaming market is much different then when the Saturn was around, so that is a moot point. Eve... #4.3.3

Not weighing in on whether the strategy is positive or negative, I was just saying that I have a feeling that they might announce that it will be available right away. They did it with the 360 slim, and Balmer has said that MS has taken a new company policy to release products as soon as they announced... So if they are revealing it at E3, it would make sense for them to release it shorty after and not to wait until November. #4.3.1

They both want to take advantage of the holiday season. #1.2

I'm suspecting MS to announce that the Nextbox will be available "now" at E3. Just a gut feeling. #4

From what I have read, as it stands now... The Ps4 is quite a bit ahead of the rumoured specs of the Nextbox in terms of RAM and the GPU, the rest is pretty much a wash.. #28.1

To anybody who knows... If switching to DDR5 this late in the development cycle is to difficult, what's stopping MS from increasing the amount of DDR3 RAM to even out the playing field? And I'm not saying doubling the amount as was suggested earlier, I mean like increasing it to 10GB or 12GB... You get my drift. Would the cost be to high? Would the amount of RAM sockets on the MB take to much room? Please educate me. :) #29

Link? #6.1

I'm guessing it's because apart from a very few people who frequent N4G, the majority of us have no clue what this and the other "leak" articles are talking about. #7.1.2

"Research" shows that the information provided in this "leak" is old. So while this info may have been true at one point, the CPU has most probably been tweaked/modified.

FYI- All this is on Neogaf. #9.1

This article is a dup and has been reported as such.

Why is this article so inactive? #7.1

I wish both camps would keep their traps shut and let the consoles/games do the talking. All this posturing seems desperate and weak.

That being said, if that was a 6 then MS a) knows they have a real winner in the Nextbox or b) are blowing a lot of smoke up every bodies @sses. #4

* scratches head* WTF did I just read...? #7

I hate for this to be true, but where there is more there is fire. Way to many articles that state this to be true from the Nextbox... I really hope this is one rumour that is false. #1

@bicfitness

So would bumping the amount of DDR3 RAM be a better/more realistic option at this point for MS? Would it even be worth the trouble to increase the amount of RAM or is DDR5 that much faster then DDR3 that any increase would be considered a waste of time? I'm curious of what you think as you seem to know what you are talking about. #1.16

Because on N4G if it's not Sony doing it, it's crap. #11.1

@dcbronco

you sir a breath of fresh air on this site. Bub+ for you #1.1.11

Exactly, the whole "team" working on the Nextbox is very small to begin with. On top of what you just stated, MS has made a very strong attempt to keep everything under wraps until they are ready to unveil the console. To think that the whole company or a large number of individuals working for MS are aware of all the details related to the console is pretty ridiculous. #3.3.1

That statement is true for the PS4 (and 720) in general. For all we know all the specs can change, everything said should be taken with a grain of salt until the console actually is shipped. #1.2
