Playstation III and Xbox Next
Neither of the titles on either of the systems is official yet, but lets discuss anyway. They're both being released, or atleast showcased, pretty soon.
Playstation III- As any gamer should know, PS3 will utilize the cell processor, which they, Toshiba, and IMB have been jointly working on for a couple years now. The Cell processor has been rumored to excess 16 teraflops, which doesn't just mean trouble Microsoft on X2, but also trouble for Intel in the server field. The prototype model was clocked at 4Ghz, already excessing most of todays cutting edge processors- include the fact that each core on the processor was designed to tackle different jobs, this is the god of multitasking. With all of that said, it seemed kindof obvious that they wouldn't be needing a seperate graphics processor, but Sony didn't think so- they've been working with nvidia on PS3's GPU which will consist of a beefed up version of their future hardware. It's rumored that it won't act entirely as the main provider of graphics goodness to PS3, but work together with the cell to tackle actions the PS3 takes in the field of graphics. Lastly, it will utilize BluRay discs, which have a huge amount of space(many times more than a DVD), and BD drives utilize a blue ray, hence the name. Xbox- Nothing really unexpected here, just picking up from the slack they're laying behind from PS3 by using enough RAM to get things done, something Sony seems to forgotten to do(especially with all of those ram decreases, shame on you Sony). I never got around to memorizing the specs, probably because they don't seem as special as the PS3's, but then again, where PS3's extreme pwnage in one area dominates, X2 is countering with common sense. |
Haven't been here in a while, but I have a bit of info on the next XBox. I got this tidbit from the latest GameInformer =p
The next XBox is making all of their games XBL enabled for either online multiplayer, or extra content. Extra content will be made available by the developers, whether it be extra maps, extra characters, etc. It'll be fairly cheap to buy (think nickels and dimes). That's all I can remember off the top of my head. |
What about the Revolution?

The Xenon will be a console to reckon with just like the Xbox was. So it will be PS3 vs Xenon, aka Xbox2, aka XboxNext, aka Xbox360, aka TheOtherRumoredNames, in the next-gen war. And then there's the Nintendo Revolution. |
Xenon was a rumored name for the Xbox 360. The official name is Xbox 360.

All of those names sound terrible. The X has got to go. It's pathetic sounding.

I wonder why someone left Nintendo's new system out of this topic...
And both *rumored* names are horrible. Getting tired of Playstation [instert number] and X-Box 360 is just...contradictory... Once again, not much to be said on this topic besides wishes until E3 when more info is released... |
XBox 360 is the lamest name I heard, but it makes sense. 360>3 and 360 is a full revolution o.o; I still think it's stupid for them making the HD optional, but I guess it'll cut down costs...

Does anyone recommend which one to get.
And yeah i don't like xbox 360 how about xbox 2 or xbox revoulution. |
well, the ps3 and revolution won't come out till summer 06, so u have a wait, while xbox360 (what i heard it was officially called, but who knows, microsoft probably can't decide theiraselves) will come out about christmas 05. at least thats wat i heard. and i also heard that the revolution will top them all (it is supposed to have the latest techniology, but its just speculation).

And to cmatz0, I think PSIII will be released before or soon after X2, they're both showcasing their products at e3, and most of their specs are getting near finalization, so even if they'll be shorthanded on PSIIIs at Christmas time, I expect that they'll start shipping them out anyway, as they did with PSP. |

But really, where's Nintendo at the moment? They kinda just creeped away when their competitors are getting ready to shine. Last I saw, Nintendo Revolution's specs were just watered down X2 specs, so I guess they're following the pattern of DS, giving other gaming options to try to 'revolutionize' the gaming industy... I really don't know what the heck Sony is thinking right now though, all of the game producing companies are afraid of learning how to make games around the new system, and Sony basically says 'it'll be easy', and then run off. e3 is just around the corner, are the consumers going to learn more about PSIII than game creators will? C'mon Sony, atleast throw a little ReadMe at them =P |
no, i asked a guy at eb, and he said the xbox360 was comin out this christmas, but ps3 and revolution were due out next summer. don't no how much he no's, thou.

Next-gen Xbox Console
Xenon Picture One
Xenon Picture Two Xenon Picture Three These are pictures of the Xenon. I would believe the first one is fake since it's different from the other two. More shiny. The other two are plausible to be the pictures of the next-gen Xbox. The last one (and maybe the second one, but I'm not sure) appeared at Ourcolony.net, a site that is believed to be a promotion ARG for the next-gen Xbox like ilovebees.com was to Halo 2. It's interesting because niether of the pictures show any controller ports, but instead you see one of those recievers you see on your TVs, DVD players, etc. So, the nest-gen Xbox might be the first console to come with wireless controllers. Looks like a nice design to me. I'm thinking these pictures are of the hard-drive-included version. Also, here's a(partial) picture of the next controller. Also, from Ourcolony.net. Of course, we won't know for sure until May 12, 2005 for MTV's showing of the Xenon. |

The first one isn't a picture. It is a sketch. Are you blind, you can't see that? Plus I already saw all of those pictures on another website and the first pic you showed wasn't an actual picture, but a sketch.
|
Also, it was speculated that one of the pictures that Kip posted could be an older version of the Xbox 360. So they could've redesigned it, and made some changes.
|
Well I saw that pic saying that it was a sketch on the sony website, so who knows?

When I say sketch, I don't mean like a drawing with pencil, I mean like a sketch done on a computer.

Anyways, what do you think the power button will also be used for? According to Team Xbox, it does more than tell you your power status. |
