I felt the same James. FPS games do suck on Xbox if u are a PC Gamer, but the rest is so mucg better. No worrying about if your rig can run a game. If you buy an Xbox title, you KNOW it will run. I gotr so tired of upgrading this then that just so that I can play a new title. Plus the Xbox Kinect is awesome.
And then you end up having to play games where the framerate drops to less than 25fps(i.e. Assassin's Creed III). No thanks, I've had enough of consoles this generation. I'm switching back to PC.
I'll still get the console exclusives, but that's it.
But it HAS to be an insane upgrade considering how old the current generation of consoles are...This is a lot of heresay, but so far the rumours that match is the MS and Sony next console will have atleast 8GB RAM. But the specs are decent as if they would like to to release the console by 2014 we either looking at an upgraded ver of the HD 8000 or as one user said the next gen card. Since it is in development still, we cant do anything but speculate.
Also from my point of view as current console game these specs are pretty much insane upgrade from the current systems.
