Part of me believes MS will up the specs to match or exceed PS4 and the other part remembers Kinect and if they bundle it with the system, plus match/up PS4 specs, how can reasonably price this beast?
Can they really do that at this point? I mean, it's supposed to launch this holiday if the rumours are correct. Can you really do big changes to the GPU like that like 6 -7months before you start to mass produce the units?

NeoSFJF - BELIEVE.
If you really want one you'll camp on Amazon the day it is announced.
He also said both consoles are a wash. He knew all of this Orbis info prior.
You can't have a wash with one console having a gulf in performance.

Dude...fought before people even know what they are fighting for.
That's great and all. However, the subject of this thread is SuperDAE saying the specs have changed.

I hope this is the case since I'm (obviously) still undecided on which console to get, but he could at least post some specs rather than making a vague tweet for attention.

I hope 720 and PS4 drop the same day for fanboy bloodbaths in gamestop lines and maximum carnage.

But you brought up the "Accurate" guy. Not the other poster...confused
Or did I read that wrong and the other person was meaning SuperDAE said that?
So what specs are we reading then?

Actually yeah, he was acting like a child.

So SuperDaE was the guy who did pretend his outdated information about the first PS4 devkit was actually information about the latest devkit?
Edit: I even think he could have just made this up, there is nothing in this article which shows that he knows anything. The article describes an ordinary PC.
The info that SuperDaE has shared all seems to regard old dev kits. It's really weird.
lherre commented in the Durango GPU thread that the specs haven't changed.
The GPU specs.

I wanna believe that it's more comparable, but even then there's still some hardware drawbacks like the entire OS draining all that RAM.

well I mean....someone is trying to cop a feel of Yoshi. That would mess with me too man.
That's the fun of it all, fighting for things that don't even exist yet!

I swear both companies, at least Microsoft for sure, are leaking intentional misinformation.

Surely if something drastic was off from the current info someone more reliable would have said otherwise and it would have been said when the info first leaked.
Things can and will change but I dont expect any huge moves from ether side right now.
My guess is MS just ups the GPU clock speed.

The plot thickens.
The current specs going by Ilherre's post doesn't even line up with what he said.
And he already knew Orbis current specs beforehand...

Did lherre get a chance to comment on the latest Orbis specs?

When someone replied with this image:
If anyone posts this on GAF seriously, as part of a console war argument, I think I'll start with a perm instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt. This is embarrassing.

Really ram? I know clocks could be, depending on yield, but I wasn't sure if ram could be. Late I mean.
I don't mean like a year ago or so where there were already legit changes.
I really doubt anyone would be that stupid to post nonsense like that.

Not so sure about that. With such highly integrated chips, there are limits regarding thermal design. And I guess to change the RAM type they would need a new memory controller.
Yeah. It's not even E3 yet and people are going nuts. That kind of garbage should stay on Twitter.
Not this late. Clock speed changes will be minor since the TDP for the console will most likely be tapped out at this point. 8Gb of DDR3 and 32Mb of eSRAM also don't leave room for change because of their size and memory controllers. The rumors of Sony upping the RAM on Orbis also seem wrong to me for the same reason. The specs we've seen are what devs are being told are the targets. We don't have the whole picture and things can change but they're going to be close.

RAM bandwidth speed will not change if MS sticks with DDR3, and that is their biggest disadvantage from what I gather from the spec threads.
Stump is just making sure aka "You never know, people are stupid enough".
I haven't got the specifications to hand but am I right in thinking that the current alleged Orbis specifications are 'current', following revisions later in 2012 — whilst the current alleged Durango specifications are dated as of Q1 2012?
If this is the case, isn't it likely that the Durango's specifications were modified just as Orbis' were?

You quoted it. Self ban.
Make sure you come back by the 19th though. =P
Anyway, this is the same guy that leaked some of the documents IIRC... and this guy boasted the Durango specs from the start, and then when Orbis rumors come (...you know.. the ones he leaked) out he cries wolf.

lol why is there so much damage control for the Durango. I swear every week there is a new thing that comes up to defend the honour of the unreleased console. Whether it be secret sauce or outdated devkits and so on. Everyone just needs to relax. All will become clear soon. All will have their moment in the spotlight. All will have their own threads with funny and extremely disturbing gifs. All will have pros in some ways and all will come up with some cons. This isn't directed to anyone really in particular but there just seems to be all these lines being drawn by various entities whether they be insiders or on twitter or websites where if one for some reason doesn't like or agree what the other has said, they'll contradict it with nothing but more vague statements that may or may not be true, or may not be as significant as the implication they carry.
