That Twitter post is definitely not from me.
the 360 came out in 2005, it's 2013, technology changes
PS3 launched with 100% PS2 BC, how did that turnout for them?
the average consumer isn't buying nex gen consoles to play games for system they already own
Are they really going with a 1.2 Tflops GPU in ~2014? I find this really hard to believe.
How would you know this as fact unless you actually worked for MS?You are not required to be connected to the internet in order to play Durango games and MS were NEVER considering doing such a thing.
Head-mounted display.
Who wrote this, a Microsoft fanboy?
Yes, same for me. If the 100% BC is true, it's an immediate buy for me.
Well if I were someone who wanted to leak things, I'd contact someone at Kotaku who could verify my identity, corroborate, and then report those things.

So the rumor is that the Durango is going to have an Occulus Rift type accessory?

If the Xbox Mini is $99 I will buy one only to make it my XBLA games machine.

GPU power should be the least of people's worries.
but clearly the doubtful thing in that post is AAs! Really, no out-of-box rechargable controller in 2013? That better not be.
Being gaf but calling the rest of gaf dumb and fanboys definitely is a bit of a flag.Is a gaf member
but calls the rest of gaf dumb for believing the always online rumor
doesn't want to reveal who he/she is because they might lose there job too
lmao

But why wouldn't you want dongles? They look so awesome: -I use bluetooth for my mouse and keyboard and don't really feel any benefit. All that did for PS3 was require dongles for every third party wireless device.
Why can't these leaks ever talk about the secret games coming out? Hardware talk is so le boring.
How does this clarify anything? All it does is come across as "I'm tired of the fanboys talking about online only so here's what's REALLY going on." Not a shred of evidence corroborating anything the person said when we have heard several times from different places about the always-online rumor. Sorry but I'm with Cheesemeister on this one. I'll believe it when I see it.
I feel like a broken record here, but their FY13 Q3 Earnings Conference Call is on April 18th (Thursday). They might address a few concerns there. Maybe comment on the always online debacle and talk a bit about their IEB plans for the fall. Also, it would make sense for them to announce the supposed Xbox event for May 21st.Why would this be common knowledge in a few days?
Surely Microsoft wouldn't reveal any of these details ahead of their conference. Makes me doubt the validity of the info.
Actually I hope this is true. Join the Eneloop team
This is true, but a lot of people depend on apps and games they've downloaded from XBLM. It adds enormous value to the console if it launches day one with every single app and XBLA game from Xbox 360. Meanwhile Sony is left scrambling to rewrite all of it's apps for PS4.
Plus they would need to develop the SoC anyway for the AppleTV type device. It makes sense to include the chip in the Xbox if they actually created it.
Nice, a 360 SoC! Wow, I wish Sony could do that with PS3
You guys can debate the SOC, but clearly the doubtful thing in that post is AAs! Really, no out-of-box rechargable controller in 2013? That better not be.
I hope most of that is true thoug, as the bulk of it would be positive.
How much does 8GB of DDR5 add to the cost?The only thing a SOC for BC did for the WiiU and PS3 is push the price up to a level where most went "I'll wait for a price drop."
But if this extra power was leveraged in Durango games and not just used for 360 BC, why would they want to remove it?JohnnySasaki86 said:MS wouldnt be able remove the 360 parts down the line if Durango games were using this extra power.
What if the leaker is Adam Orth? *inception*

Makes sense. They can use the 360 SOC for those HMD (Fortaleza) glasses or Kinect or the OS without compromising the Durango performance. And have full BC as an added bonus. It moves the overall performance to around 1.75 Teraflops, so close to PS4. I guess it's also the main reason why they have the Display planes, allowing to merge whatever both APUs do into one resulting image (plus an additional plane for Fortaleza).
Everything else seems very believable and in line with what I have heard elsewhere.
Yes. In fact I did.Can't anybody make an anonymous account on said website and post whatever bullshit he/she wants?
In that pastebin post I said I wouldn't be saying anything else, but that was before a few things changed. So yeah.... #dealwithit.
