I keep reading article about it being released in 2013 and then it not being released in 2013. Each time I read an article I keep swapping my mind.

Either way, I guess there is one coming at some time in the future. This is my prediction!

jaosobno4522d ago

It's 2013, im 99% sure.

I'm so psyched about next gen! :)))

Arksine4522d ago

I hope the rumors aren't true about it being a Trinity core. Right now Intel is absolutely smoking AMD in x86 performance. Its not exactly a good idea to use x86 in a console, but if you're going to do so don't use AMD.

Also, Global Foundries is having some major issues with their 28nm process forcing AMD to cancel their next generation APUs with them. AMD has to redesign those processors for TSMC's gate-last process.

AMD(ATI) GPU's are great, and there is nothing wrong with MS going that route. But please stay away from their processors until they get their stuff together.

cyguration4516d ago

Completely agree.

I adore Nvidia's muscle-car type approach to GPUs, but they would be dire in a console...I can already imagine lots of hardware overheating and issues.

ATI's Xfire setups are a lot more reliable and remind of Japanese production cars tuned for sports racing. Fast, small, sleek and long lasting.

I also completely agree about the AMD CPU setup...the better combination would be a ATI Xfire GPU setup with an Intel Hex-Core CPU setup.

This website is 10x more likely to be right than some of the misinformation that has been posted recently about this topic. This isnt some delusional guy yapping about ARM cpus in the next xbox or some other nonsense like that. These are people that understand the industry, and the technology behind it.

take a look through their forums. Nerds and geeks, but they know their stuff. And this guy broke several stories early about all kinds of hardware.

But they're only semiaccurate....com

MaxMurdoch4521d ago (Edited 4521d ago )

They are "only semiaccurate" because they post info from their inside sources. These "rumors" dont always turn out to be right, but a lot of times they are right on the money.

Sometimes known tech sites like anand, LR, etc, have inside info like this too, but they are afraid to post it because it could damage their credibility if it came up wrong. Bottom line is, you cant get info like this anywhere else, and while there is no guarantee that any of the info is correct, most of what they posted probably will be.

Jdrm034522d ago

the only thing i don't like about the article is their launch prediction....there is no way that Microsoft will launch in the spring/summer. Production will either be moved up to meet a Nov 2012 launch or it will launch in Nov 2013.

IronFistChinMi4522d ago (Edited 4522d ago )

The article states Spring/Summer 2013 at the earliest, not that it will launch in that exact window. Reasonable to me.

gamingdroid4522d ago

It also depends on if MS is doing a worldwide release.

MS wanted to do worldwide release for the Xbox 360, but they couldn't produce enough consoles. If this is true, then it will give them plenty of time to mass produce the necessary components.

MasterCornholio4522d ago

I love the articles on next gen systems. I wonder re what Sony will do with the PS4? I have a feeling that next gen the PS4 and 720 will be similar in power while the WiiU will be a lot weaker. But it won't be as big of a difference as the Wii when compared to the PS3 or 360.

hellvaguy4522d ago

I would think the flooding in Thailand (disrupting alot of the hard drive supply, aka the prices) coupled with MS stating that Halo 4 is a xbox 360 release, all but insures us there wont be a 2012 release of a new 360 system. Crosses fingers for 2013.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7217h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
