too late? what?

I wonder why nobody take time to go to source of examiner?
Cause if we check them we see many things:
1- Source of Examiner is Xbox Uncut
2- The same Xbox Uncut link two sources Beyond 3D and Engadget.
3- For those two sources, one is outdated for Engadget (21 may 2013) and since there was Xbox reveal and E3 and confirmed 8 Go DDR3 RAM and other is a non reliable source on Beyond 3D.
Why nobody care?

Source IS B3D? lol

Good news if true. Console parity means people won't have to worry about being stuck with a lesser version of multiplatform games; we can all just flock to our console of choice based on OS features, price, etc.
Today we are cancelling the console wars.

He clearly states that website is the source of the rumors, not the source of his information.
"As I have said in the past, these rumors come and go and it's hard to justify reporting on every one. But when I approached a trusted source of mine regarding them... I was surprised by the answer, to say the least."
"Click here for the original source of rumors." - links to that website from B3D

As of now, two imaginary upgrades.
DRM backtracking to match PS4 policies requiring day one patch
over clocking last secound to match PS4 and still under
Increasing RAM already due to lack of it on Day 1 already was beg by a dev also to Match PS4
Sounds like MS was really prepared for this great launch and no last minute panicking

Btw his "source" says that this upgrade is only available for first parties and that third parties know nothing about it, so the source is Microsoft exactly like Leadbetter's bullshit article about the non-existant dual bus ESRAM. It looks like Microsoft is actively spreading bullshit left and right to muddy the waters about the power difference, a fucking pathetic tactic to say the least.

So you believe this rumor?
You know...we here at Gaf take our first-post privilege pretty damn seriously...Bring your "A" game next time or else.

MS have never gone into detail over the specs so its not out of the question.
Cant wait for the tear downs judging from what we still have with the wiiu thread

And that might just be "good enough", at least in the beginning of the generation. Hell, Japan and non-UK EU was the only place the PS3 got any kind of traction in 2006/2007.
Microsoft's biggest error was price. What they were thinking having one $500 SKU, when Sony made the exact same mistake with the PS3, I can't imagine. I'd guess the price of the Xbone is most likely going to "hard" drop by next summer, with "soft" drops (free controller, free games, etc.) happening before then.
We need the list of all Rumors of XB1 spec increase since PS4 info release.
Dual GPU's
Extra RAM
Upclocking
New GPU
Secret Sauces of more CPU
Etc
I want to believe all of them

Ok, but doesn't change the fact that nobody investigate on sources of examiner and sources of Xbox uncut.
All these believe was no more if everybody had to do this.
Plus i would had that at 5 month from launch, made this change irrelevant or delay launch of Xbox One.
At this point it's not hope but despair.
Cause i prefer now than to see wave of suicide at launch

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
All while spreading "disinformation" to those self-same third parties (in the form of what, purposely fucked dev-kits?) to keep the bombastic truth from getting out!
Hot rumours brah!
Good, hopefully they can throw in some secret sauce with this upclocking of the GPU. Changing things just before assembly starts should definitely help with ensuring this console lasts the years that consumers will have it.
This rumor is bullshit, it's too late for improvements to be made for either of the consoles. Downgrades would be possible depending on yields of chips.

Oh god. The author of the article is who? Exactly. Anyone can write for Examiner. Sorry, ekim, his "sources" is probably B3D and whatever else he's heard on the net. Why are people still doing this to themselves? MS had 3 whole months to figure out if they wanted to upgraded their specs since Sony's reveal in february. If they had something planned they would of announced their full specs in may.

Well if you were the source of terrible Examiner stories that says more about you than the Examiner writers
It's true though, I don't take Examiner stories very seriously in general

I don't want to sound like I'm looking for the negative... But is this type of last minutes change partially responsible for the early 360 hardware failures? Meaning, increased clock rate produces excess heat that wasn't accounted for in the original design?

They wouldn't need either if Xbone was the Always Online Infinite Cloud Supercomputer that you guys killed.

there's no last minute changes, this is all FUD.
WTF - I'm totally fine with the PS4 being more powerful than X1 and I'm totally fine with the specs of the X1. Reporting on those rumors doesn't mean, I'm delusional like those guys over at B3D or MistXMedia and make shit up. And as you might have noticed on the last post on page 3, I voted for closing this thread as the rumor was debunked by GopherD and Matt.

It would be a smart move.
I asked the author for his source's track record and this was his response:
http://www.examiner.com/article/rumor-ubisoft-revealing-new-racing-ip-called-the-crew-at-e3-2013
http://www.examiner.com/article/first-screenshot-of-assassin-s-creed-black-flag-surfaces
I checked both articles and yep: he was the first confirming the name for AC:BF and the first screenshot came from him if I didn't mix things up:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=512183
And his confirmation on "The Crew" was also right:

Hmm, still though. Developers here have already debunked it.
Yeah I know - I don't doubt Matt or GopherD but wanted to be fair and share his answer.

Developers obviously know nothing because Microsoft lied to them according to the article.
Don't you see? It all makes sense! Microsoft risks its relationship with developers to hide a minor upclock even though Sony can't upgrade the PS4 specs anyway at this time. So then the source that is obviously Microsoft since noone else knows about it, leaks it anyway!
Dear lord...some people really, really don't want to come to terms with the hardware situation between the Xbone and PS4. Then again, given the assumptions that were made running up to the consle reveals (MS wouldn't release weaker hardware than Sony, Sony can't afford to compete with MS hardware-wise, etc...), I'll be shocked, too, if MS actually released weaker hardware and Sony stronger hardware. Thankfully I never paid much mind to those assumptions.
