Let me get this straight we can't even get a leak 8 days before the reveal but three or more sources already know all the specs for the new Xbox? Right....

That seems totally possible.

Hey guys, I'm a huge Xbox fan, but could we stop entirely disregarding these rumors? They're bound to be at least mostly correct, some of the sources are really credible and were proven right with PS4.
 
I'm curious to see how small the box is.

I know that may sound completely trivial to most people, but if this thing is a media center that wants to compete with Apple TV's and Roku's, then it has to be smaller than a 360. Doesn't have to be the size of an Apple TV, but somewhere in between.

Speaking of that, I think that MS is going to be ahead of the curve on how you control the box compared to Apple. I don't know how many of you have seen the Apple 'rings,' but they basically exist (or existed if they were can) because they're a more intelligent way to navigate the UI of an Apple TV. Now what's the problem with that? People don't want to wear dumb rings if all they do is control the TV. I think wearable tech is the future, but not like that.

Now, the reason I bring this up is that Kinect 2.0 may possibly be a huge breakthrough in this field. Microsoft basically did a nation-wide field test with the original Kinect, but now that they're going to have better tech (who knows how detailed the scanning/reading will be) and people who better understand (remote)controller-less navigation than they did when the Kinect came out. Not to mention all of this is built from the ground up with Kinect 2.0 in mind, where as they did their best to change and mold things about the 360 that were already in place.

It truly is a great time to love technology.

Ya I will, you can't dispute what I said, everything is rumour until MS actually confirm. I've seen enough 'strong' internet rumours turn out to be completely false. And I really don't care if they turn out to be true regardless, clearly don't have an agenda unlike yourself.

Ya I can. Seeing as vgleaks and edge were pretty much spot on with the specs of the ps4 minus the increase in ram that nobody saw coming because of the cost.

And I don't have an agenda. I have had a 360 since the day it launched and also purchased an elite and an s model. Hell, I am typing this from a surface rt if that tells you the kind of Microsoft fan I am.

I simply don't just jump on the hype train.

I think the spec rumors will be mostly proven right however the certainty in which some posters communicate them is a bit annoying.

On the other hand it's two different companies and the sources might be different.

No need for murder. More than enough has been said to know that Ruffian's working on it now.

Cannot fucking wait to see what those guys can do with more development time.

Wait...are you fucking serious?!

I've seen nothing. Please point out. I'll shit a chicken if Crackdown 3 happens.

If you are cautious or just dont care for the hype train, which is understandable, why are you attempting so hard to be a debbie downer for the people who are hyped in this "Hype" thread?

EDIT: Didn't VGLeaks source a pastebin or something ridiculous semi-recently? Might not have been that exactly, but I know they were mocked by a lot of people because the quality of the rumor was so poor.

Yep. It was from the original TALES FROM MY ASS THREAD:

No, but we don't care, it is not a Sony vs Microsoft thread.



Today nobody knows the strength of each one. and again, it is not a PS4 vs Xbox 3 thread.

I'm not talking about the specs. I'm talking about actual arm wrestling. Some of you need to take a break.


RayMaker said:
how does it work then?

superior console specs = more muscle power?

What? You were just talking about real life arm wrestling. lol

Is that the one where it talks about the 360 SoC being included in Durango? I mean, people want to cherry pick and use VGleaks as a source of "confirming" old specs but then ignore that VGleaks felt compelled to report on this?
