That is the price of having all of those first party studios. You have to pay for their upkeep. WHy do you think that Capcom is outsourcing their projects? Even Inafune stated that they might only be able to work on 2 titles in house but outsourcing, they can have five or six projects at the same time. Layoffs suck tho regardless of who.
I don't know why you got so many disagrees B1663r. The X360s has the cpu and gpu on one die and I believe that it is the valhalla.
X360 has 3.2 ghz Triple Core IBM PowerPC cpu with Dual Thread.

Everyone says that X360 owners have nothing to play yet it is the ps3 fans that aren't playing anything and busy trolling articles here on n4g. I am just finishing up on It work and hence why I am here. kz3 sells one million now. Wow, most X350 and PC AAA games do that within their first 3 days. So who buys games? That's right, PC and X360 gamers.

Yet X360 has over 9 mil lead. From a "supposed" 300k. Then that would mean that the US is the biggest piece of the pie and that the US is IMPORTANT in game sales.

The mistake they made last gen was that they used over the counter pc parts. By doing that, they shot themselves in the foot, (albeit they are not a hardware company) because nVidia owned the rights to the video card and it was too costly for them to make those outdated cards. Now with the X360, MS OWNS the chipsets in the system, namely the Xenos video card so that their next system will be 100 percent backwards compat. They won't have to pay licensing fees and they can get whoever to...
There is a bunch of difference between the two games. You have a dialogue system with rpg elements while the other is a story. It's like comparing apples and oranges, I am sure that X360 could build a game like Uncharted but that's not usually the types of games that X360 make. They are more into open world with you making your own story instead of a closed and linear game that tells you a story. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule, like Gears and such but for majori...
and the ps2 era. FFx-2 cutscenes looked great but poor little jaagied yuna. I wouldn't talk too much of prerendered scenes. sony uses this tactic a lot, ahem uc and kz series.
You do? Facts are facts and throw in 10 MB eDRAM as well.
I'm ready. Bring on the next gen so pc gamers can have better graphical PC games. Tired of consoles slowing us down. Cmon Xbox, release the 720 so my pc can actually have games that run the way it is suppose to.
Xbox 720
12-Core with multi-threading
16 mb cache
4 gb ddr4 ram
ATI 8 series video card with 1 gb ddr6 VRAM
20 mb eDRAM
20 gb SSD
1 tb hdd
keep the controller, fix the d-pad
usb 3....
That I did not know. Thank you. I will take a look into it!
First of all, bluray is not the future. It is sony still holding on to disc tech that came out in the 80's and is dying. Why buy blu-ray when I can stream 1080p? Then you have usb thumbdrives that can for consumers go up to 256 gigabytes and with usb3.0 has much more transfer rates with absolutely NO skip? Besides who wants all of that stuff forced down their throats in the first place. It is your opinion what you classify as a true gamer. I could say the same about true gamers.
Let's see how much those exclusives keep coming when they have a budget of 70 million dollars and only sell 400k copies. It is only a matter of time before that business model comes up dry. So if you like having your exclusives, better be buying a lot of games, instead of just talking about it. For most of the public, in these economic downtimes and most of the Nintendo kids grew up and have families and jobs, you just don't go running out to buy a lot of "not so important&quo...
My single video card has more flop performance than your whole system, lol...
First of all Guitar Hero for PC sucked as it wasn't optimized for pc and runs like crap. If you want to play a game like that, play Frets on Fire. Much better and better song support. I personally like the X360 pad and further like a standard as more and more games are supporting it. It is better to have gamepad support than nothing at all, eh?
Oh a correction, the rsx in the ps3 only has 256 mb vram. So a 7800 gtx 256mb is the ticket.

You have to wait a year if you've already done the license transfer. Not that hard at all to recover XBL arcade games. Did that recently when I made the jump to a slim 250. I've probably spent over 3 g's in Microsoft points. Sigh...I know I'm not helping out matters but games like Hydro Thunder, Hyrophobia and a slew of other masterpieces make them worht purchasing. I do hope they announce either a new console or a slew of exclusives during e3. Although this dry spell ma...
What a company needs to do is have a monster cpu right out the gate. Then add in capablities for memory upgrades and video card upgrades. That would be the closest to a future proof system for consoles.
