If M$ and $ony want a more powerful console with update tech then $500 is the magic number for the 720 and PS4 and that price is with both companies taken a loss.
It cost about $500 to build a PC that can run Crysis at 40 FPS.

I think you nailed it.
The unreal Engine is the work horse of this generation of gaming and has provided and still providing some AAA games.
I hear people bitch about how bad and old the unreal engine is but then they turn around and praise games like Batman AA and Mass Effect with out knowing what engine is running those games.
If next gen games are anything like the Samaritan tech demo then I can see where Epic and the Unreal engine will pl...
I disagree that you two agree but agree because I dont like to disagree.
Agreed!!!!
Gear 1 one left me with my jaw on the ground.
Gears 2 was ok but did not have the Gears 1 effect on me.
Gears 3 on the other hand is looking to do what Gears 1 did to me.
My favorite beast is the Berserker and I will be using her as much as I used the shot gun in previous games.
I guess the 2 people who disagreed with me have never played Crysis on max setting or driving a Ferrari.
Console gaming is ok but the technology in the 360 and PS3 is holding back developers and making games less than what they can be.
Fail attempt at trolling.
Thats like saying a Ferrari vs a Civic.
How is it lame?
Go play Crisis 1 and The Witchier 2 in max settings then go play Gear 2 and Uncharted 2 on your consoles and let me know which game looks better and runs smoother.
Go drive a Ferrari and then go drive a civic and let me know which is faster and handles better at top speed.
My guess is that MS will either go with the holographic disk which stores 20 times more than blu ray or they will take the Wii U route and develop a hybrid HD DVD disk them self.
MS R&D is always working on secret stuff that we dont here about so dont be surprised if they announse some new tech before the relealse of the 720.
I am not saying that it not easier to just adapt the Blu Ray tech but knowing MS they will try to keep the 720 away from Blu Ray b...
The only way I see the Xbox 720 having Blu Ray is if Sony drops the royalty rate.
Royalty Rate
Blu-Ray Drive : $30
Blu-Ray Player and Console : $60~70
HD-DVD Drive : $7 net royalty($5 DVD royalty is included in $12 combined royalty)
The good news is that Sony does not own the Blu Ray tech. Sony owns the logo, but, like CD and SACD, it was developed with Philips.
Contributing to the development of the format were/are Ma...
Have you been living under a rock?
MS owns Yahoo.
Edit: I cant remember all the details but it goes something like this.
MS was trying to purchase yahoo for many years back before the economy mess began and yahoo wanted way more than what they were worth. Finally the rescission started and MS ended up buying yahoo for dirt cheap.
Unearthed: Salims Majic Lamp
I think both companies are waiting to see if this 2010 Mayan thingy happens.
Whats the point on working on new console when the world will go boom soon.
I feel like I am playing an old school Resident Evil game.
Broken Stone Emblem.
@Zootang - For a business it all about the money. Yes developers like making quality games but at the end of the day they have a families to feed abd bills to pay.
Every business is started to earn profits as it is essential for the survival and growth of business enterprises. Profit earning should be regarded as the main objective of business unit. The need of profit in business is left to cover the cost of production and also create a surplus for undertaking expansion an...
For the person who disagreed with me let me put it in simple terms.
Game developer - makes games
Game developer - needs money to make game and pay employees.
Final game product - needs to sell well in order to for the company to stay open.
Its not about pleasing every one but about trying to survive and make money on your game.

Please let 95% of the game be in space and diffrent planets.
I dont want to be shooting other people or things in a giant space vessel - Looking at you Dead Space
I dont want to be stuck inside of a cock pit - Looking at you Star Fox.
I dont want liner planets as I want to explore a new planet from head to toe. - Looking at you Mass Effect

Not sure why they choose birds - could have done something like Star Fox but with open world.
