True consoles that really can offer 1080p instead of the "720p" or "upscaled to 1080p" as we have nowadays. More powerful hardware would of course require time to think about the thermal design. Why?bahumat42 said:But the thing is it hasn't been small leaps, there are multiple generations of each of those peices of hardware, not to mention that tiny things like say upping the ram (pathetic on consoles) wouldn't even cost a lot.masticina said:That was its big problem it was a ..

All I know is that it's..Some microsoft..thingy.
But yeah .. what the hell must be done to make a next-gen console. More processing power.. yeah obviously but that alone won't work. Better graphics card.. DUH. More Memory? Yeah.. obvious..
But that only makes an Xbox 360 -version 2 ... or a PS3 version 2 .. it doesn't feels like omg this is so powerful. It will feel like "Yeah its faster.. yeah it has more memory yeah.. yeah.. "
A standardised dx 11 machine would probably run better than mist of pc's because the devs would be coding for the exact set up.

Game design is a process, and the process can be slow.

I love how they omit the "will only play new games and used games have to be rebought" detail. It shows that Sony's development team isn't retarded.Scrumpmonkey said:I loved the cutaway to Sony, "Orbis? What?" and a Dreamcast XD. Also the Microsoft Zune Shredder is actually a 360 attachment now.
