Comment on Xbox 720 Specs Leaked – “Due 2013 for $299 with Kinect 2″ by Anonymous:

You’re not really familiar with what’s actually inside the XBox 360, are you? It’s actually a pretty gimped machine that was behind desktop technology at its launch and devs have had to do all kinds of tricks to even get it playing at the level it appears to be. It’s doing a lot of line doubling to even hit HD resolutions on a lot of high profile titles, and many games are also running at 540p just to hit decent frame rates.

As for the leaked specs, nothing looks particularly unreasonable. If they use an AMD CPU this time around, there are already off the shelf 8 core desktop processors. I would assume it would end up being a custom model of a current chipset with the memory baked in since they wouldn’t have to fit a standard socket, but hey, this is Microsoft, it could be a literal PC inside a plastic shell instead of a custom layout. After all, that’s what they sent around as dev kits for the 360.

  Then tell me why gaming quality is in decline! With guys like you it’s always more, more more. What is this “more” contributing to the experience? FF13/FF13-2, the Mass Effects, TES games to name such a few. All of those are constantly improved on on a graphical level but they BLEED out on the gaming part. With each new iteration they get dumbed down, with each new title they lose more of their soul. Sorry but no. I have old DOS games that are a million times more of a gaming experience than …
