Who will have the most powerful console next gen?

[kedawa]

It's sad that people are still lying to themselves by saying that graphics can't get any better, or that they're the only thing that more computational power can bring to a console.
Modern games are full of superfluous detail. The vast majority of what you see is non-interactive eye-candy that isn't even modelled in the physics of the game. It's all just smoke and mirrors. There is infinite room for improvement.

well sony pulled it off this time and I'm guessing they want to either hold off and let the ps3 continue a bit longer (which could give them more time to be more powerful) idk but I vote sega just for kicks haha

I've heard that the ps3 and 360 will use the same graphics in which case I'm not sure why they'd bother other than exclusives which will become far more important than ever before

Really I thought sony would go for having a weaker system and have better 3rd party support this time , and try to get their older ps2 style of doing busines having the most affordable console and biggest library of games.

Sweet I voted in the majority. Sony will definitely be more powerful, but i'd put money on it being the most expensive too

Yes, if Sega had not been an option I would not have voted.

I thought sega sold the dreamcast 2 plans to Microsoft aka xbox 1.

The problem is, if Sega released a new console, the energy consumption would be too great for most homes to handle. This is due to the amount of awesomness the new unit would contain.

I put in a vote for Sony.


Realistically speaking, I'm pretty sure Microsoft is more interested in having a more advanced Kinect with their next system, than having an amazing GPU. Which is unfortunate. They are likely to cheap out a bit on the CPU and GPU. The crazy thing about Sony, is if you consider all the money they have lost. The PS3 experience has really been a disaster for them. They went from No.1 marketshare to No.3 (in North America) in one console cycle. They had been dominating the world of Video Games since for a solid 10 years, and then things just went south. Most would say that Kutaragi's ambitions where just a bit out of control, and the $599 price was the kiss of death. It's funny, cause when you really think about it, Sony SHOULD be the least likely company to have the most powerful system next gen. I mean... it didn't work for them the last time. The least powerful system came in 1st, and the 2nd most powerful system came in 2nd. They had the Ferrari, and yet they still came in last. (again talking North America).


Sony can't help themselves. It's not in their blood. They will try to squeeze the most power into the machine as they can. Ultimately, I think they end up with a slightly more powerful system.
