First problem was... "Kotaku has learned from an unnamed source that Microsoft's next console will feature... "
I don't know how much trust you guys put into Kotaku, But personally, i'd rather bet on a rabbit in a horse race. They write little of there own materail, and when it is them, Its not a personal favorite.
Second was ....
"The news follows Tuesday's report that the Xbox 720 will contain an "Oban" SoC featuring a PowerPC-based 32-nm processor core(s) and an ATI "Southern Islands" GPU core. Later reports clarified that the GPU aspect would be of the 6000 series -- something skin to the Radeon HD 6670 -- which supports DirectX 11, multi-display output, 3D and 1080p HD output. Raw graphics processing power is expected to be 6 times that of the current console, and yield 20-percent greater performance than the upcoming Nintendo Wii U
If were already getting the Specs on the new console, and with such a larger ammount of power in it.. Wouldn't you rather buy a new PC over this?
You should already know that Microsoft is probably going to overprice any product, and all thats just the graphics. I'd rather not spend 800$+ on a new console.
Anywhat, If the rumor is true, than i'd doubt im going to be rushing to a electronics store on the release date, But, yeah, I think this is JUST a rumor.
