It probably could if the disc drive accepted them. I don't think a full size disc could even fit in that thing.

The answer is yes, there was a device that even did this called the Panasonic Q.

The GameCube had the most advanced CPU that generation, Nintendo's problem was that they dragged it through 2 more generations.
 
Back in the gamecube fays when it was released, i compared for the same james bond game the screens on the back of the gamebox. And notice the differents xbox > gamecube >>> ps2

So xhat is the reason that sony is comming with a stronger console? Nx or Vr?
 
Xbox had the most powerful CPU and GPU that gen, Zombie.

Sony hyped the PS2 so much, that even today there are still people that think the PS2 had the most powerful hardware.

Indeed, I even read a gaming history book that said the GameCube was the least powerful console that gen. I then instantly regretted buying that book.

That's what >155 million units (PS2) next to two consoles that did ~24 million (Xbox) and <22 million (GameCube), as well as Sega's early exit (~9 million??) did that gen.

NX has nothing to do with it at all. VR's a good bit, but the biggest parts are that Sony knows their hardware is aging a hell of a lot faster than it had in the past, and the incremental updates are starting to look more viable than strict 5-8 year plans.
 
It is? In my book multiple times greater in RAM amount and GPU power is a lot better.

GPU power was a pretty even matchup as far as I'm aware due to the significant downclocking. The extra RAM and the edram help push it ahead, albeit the former was low bandwidth. It's hard to call either situation a lot better. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm sure there is someone with more knowledge on the WiiU GPU.

I mean ignoring specs, I don't think there's been any indication from any release on the WiiU that there is a particularly meaningful power difference between it and the 360/PS3.
 
I do know some had low expectation. I didn't think that many would be lowballing a console that might have to perform. I also meant that in relation to devs not necessarily posters or consumers.

It's my understanding that game developers outside of Asia are rarely happy with any console in the history of the console market. The abortion known as the 3DO was created due to Trip Hawkins' displeasure in the consoles of the time manifesting into a terrible mistake.
 
Anyone fussing about the weaker horsepower of the current generation consoles must have completely forgotten about the horrific failure rates of the previous gen's HD twins, largely due to chipset overheating. How many PS4s and Xbox Ones have you had to buy or send in to replace the broken ones...?
 
What we know is NX has a noticeably more powerful CPU than XBO which has about a 10% performance boost over PS4. Its still a low end CPU as far as performance goes but that's the console cpu fate

I really cannot see Sony putting a 3+tflop GPU
in the PS4K as it would completely outclass the PS4 to a stupid degree and developers would want to abandon the PS4 immediately. If anything it would be more logical for them to go froma 7850 style part to something along the lines of a 7950 performance wise. Would still be a healthy boost but nothing to create such a massive audience divide as doubling GPU power


But the 7950 is a 3+ tflops GPU though.
 
Are we talking about NX here or PS4k?
That was in regard to the PS4k. Some people are hyping themselves up for a PS5 like machine and there is no way Sony is going to create a machine to that degree that would leave the PS4 so far in the dust no developer would work on it

What I meant to ask was why is a topic dedicated to NX suddenly shift focus onto its rival console's upgraded specs? It doesn't make much sense.

Just the flow when people start discussing how CPU reportedly stacks up etc and the constant Nintendo is doomed because "PS4K will be so overpowered compared to it"

antonz, any guesses on what Nintendo might go with? I don't know if you extrapolate that from LCGeek's >>>> post.Assuming it's x86 architecture.

Can't speak to any firsthand knowledge. Went Indie and haven't looked back industry wise. At this point I am just speculating on what is feasible and realistic.

Just woke up. What's the latest guys?
nothing new. reddit jokers are asleep and all is quiet

Thanks.

The PS4K and X1.5 will make the NX inadequate and 3rd parties will refuse to work with it for being "too weak" as they will focus exclusively on the new half-step consoles, completely abandoning everyone that bought a PS4 and X1 already. Apparently everyone is going to be okay with this.

Do you have any idea about the handheld specs? If they want a shared platform the handheld cant be that weak either.
 
2.87. Would offer roughly a 50% performance boost which would be far more realistic in an attempt to not completely render PS4 useless compared to going like 4tflops like many seem to expect



Most of the models sold ran at 925mhz.
Plus, the PS4K rumours talk about higher than PS4 clocks for GPU. Even at 800mhz it's still a 2.8tflops card, which is quite close to 3tflops.

This is where I quip "Haven't you heard? Nintendo is always doomed no matter what they do! Even at the height of the Wii era there were people who just wanted them to die, etc."...well, you catch my drift.

Going back to the ARM vs. x86 vs. POWER architecture chips, I recall Iwata mentioning he wanted the the new hardware to "adequately absorb/run Wii U architecture". What would prevent x86 from doing so, compared to, say, ARMs chips? Isn't the harder part to emulate about the hardware always that "eccentric" RAM?

The only thing I can think off is some presentation AMD made about a chip that has both an x86 and ARM instruction set on it.

Xbox one is x86 based and it's achieving backwards compatibility the 360 which is power based. I can be done.

LOL. Sounds about right :p
 
0Only a complete madman CEO would say "for our next outing, let's take on the love triangle of PS4, XBO and STEAM. Not enough competition there".

If I spend 20-30m making a game for current platforms, I'd personally be very happy to spend a few million on a port to be able to sell it on another platform, particularly if it can cross pollinate with the likes of Mario.

If these rumours about NX's power are true, then it says to me that Nintendo is serious about avoiding the setbacks of the past two generations.

We're in an era of very slim first party pickings, so Nintendo clearly sees an opportunity to compete and stand out there. If NX can manage it without developmental headaches, there are more economic reasons for third party participation on Nintendo than purported, fictional 'bad relations' saying otherwise.
 
Yeah I think so. But with smash nx rumour I'm thinking Wii u backwards compatibility is off the table.

A single port (which we don't actually know is a straight port) does not indicate a lack of BC. With the Smash series how it is, it wouldn't surprise me if we're really getting essentially a highly iterative Smash 5 so they can get it out of the way.

The xbox had the highest clocked CPU that gen but the gamecube's was more powerful I believe
 
Thanks. They guy isn't backing down though is he. I'm starting to believe it's real.

I think he's just that invested in his fake leak that he can't let it go.
That stuff about the domain in the email he provided as proof and his poor explanation of the companies firewall editing the domain sets off red flags all over the place
