Fixed that for you.
Most people don't read gaming forums or check video game blogs.
Doesn't make them "dudebros".

thuway, but the claim was about a more powerful GPU in the alpha kits than in retail.
Normal PS2 bros who were into Final Fantasy, MGS, Gran Turismo, Madden and all the others did not follow all the negative news about Sony in 2006 either, and look how it turned out, half of them did not even buy a PS3.
The absolute worst thing you can do in this industry is to assume the past will repeat itself, it did not for Nintendo (N64), it did not for Sony (PS3), it did not for Nintendo again (Wii U).
Every generation has the giant red RESET button pressed, and everyone starts from scratch.

What are you talking about? There's no "768kB shared" anything anywhere in the system and the eDRAM is in fact on-die.
its ability to actually play games will be a big one at E3

No need to worry. With all the platforms now using the same general architecture they can use the PC as the main development platform and just make lower settings for the PS4 and XboxOne versions.
We've never had consoles and PCs all using the same architecture like this before and porting games will be easier than it ever has been.
At the expense of scale ?
It's not just IQ that will suffer with XO as the baseline, 3rd parties will be limited in their ambitions due to the weaker hardware.

Holy shit. This is going to get messy.
I've always said that 60fps = gameplay whores. So hopefully this means third parties can double up the performance of XB1 and 60fps becomes standard on PS4 ports. I realize Durante has kind of debunked this dream, but dreams don't have to be rooted in reality. Hence why they're called dreams.

Despite being an MS hater, this is not good at all. Who's stopping devs from making multiplats optimized for the XBone and porting them to the PS4 without any optimization? If they don't make use of that extra power, what's the point?

Well it'll have lots of great games.
Just expect them to have anti-consumer policies and shit hardware to play them on.
If its at all true, its a waste of money unless its beyond just not being shown/demoed on the show floor and extends to some type of real exclusivity window post release IMO.

So you think the Xbone will be the next ps2?

WiiU plays still in a different league.
But I'm looking forward to Digital Foundrys analysis of Battlefield 4 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One this November. Will be interesing to see of you will notice a difference between PS4 and Xbox One launch games.
CoD is huge, but it's not the "next big thing". This happens every generation. Previous huge franchises stay huge( for a time ), but they aren't the driver of hardware sales they once were. Whichever platform grabs the "next big thing" in gaming will be the one who succeeds first.

It does make sense that Microsoft was initially aiming for a 2014 launch. We know Microsoft doesn't support their older consoles into the next generation, so why reveal a new Fable remake for the 360, have a big surprise for E3, and plan to sell another ~25 million consoles?
A 'tar baby' is an interesting metaphor.
In one tale, Br'er Fox constructs a doll out of a lump of tar and dresses it with some clothes. When Br'er Rabbit comes along he addresses the tar "baby" amiably, but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as the Tar-Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and in doing so becomes stuck. The more Br'er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar "baby" out of rage, the worse he gets stuck.

All hail GDDR5?
I am not so sure about this. At least, PS4 and XBone seem to be on par with regards to CPU power and size of memory (although PS4 has more memory dedicated to games, but XBone still has plenty). XBone might get inferior drawing distances but world size and AI should suffer that much.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So is the XBone gonna be like two Wii Us duct taped together?

That must be the purest hate of all kinds
Damn, im so proud to be part of this community.

If the Xbox One is much cheaper than the PS4 perhaps this will happen.
Better framerate, better resolution, better Image quality.
All above are very important but with 1TF i don't see many games pulling something amazing like Deep Down fire...
So let me get this straight: Xbox fans are now going with Microsoft has a good chance at dominating the gen with comparisons to the PS2 era. Excuse me while I poop my pants.
Microsoft is in NO situation whatsoever, not in any fucking reality atm, that would make this true. Right now they are looking to the world like a confused, large juggernaut losing touch with its home base. If you think all the sudden that Jak and Daxters and shit is gonna start popping out of the box to sell millions and we are suddenly going back to the economy of 2000 where people were MUCH less informed about everything then you are fucking crazy.
Shit ain't happening. Halo is in decline. So is Gears. And Forza don't have shit over GT6. Troubled times are ahead for this company in gaming unless they show a LOT of games that are interesting. I still haven't counted them out but it's damn close. That machine looks shittier by the day.

Low yields means higher productions costs per inch of wafer at the fab. Which potentially means they'll be selling the boxes at even higher losses to consumers. And if supply is constricted at launch 3rd parties will lose money on Xbone games.
I don't think Microsoft are in a good position to lose as much money this gen, not with the poor sales of both Windows 8 and PC's in general.
No. That didn't matter, it was the fact that Sony were ready to reveal early and go hard for 2013.
probably the whole PS Meeting part

With these production issues and kinect 2.0, I don't see that happening unless MS wants to take a nice loss.

Not with bad yields it won't be cheaper.
