I hope these systems are premium, and come across as premium products for adults. I think there's enough anticipation that they can legitimately get away with a $500 console, at least for the first 12 months.

I know what you mean, exactly. I feel like, in this stage in the game, most games should look as good as Halo 4 or Uncharted 3. They don't. I think putting an emphasis on graphical fidelity, especially to the point where you can outright tell "woah, this looks amazing" will give Activision a kick in the ass because it…

It already is. People are bored with this generation of games and new hardware always generates more interest in the medium. Game sales are down, revenue across the industry is down - it's time to let those who can make use of the extra horsepower (every major studio) actually let loose.

8Gb of RAM + a GPU on par with, say, a 7950 would be something I'd absolutely throw $400-$500 at. I hate the idea that these damn things need to be $300 at launch. That gets you software that can't use the HDD for loading textures and facilitating bigger games.

Creating things that people want to consume that generates revenue is a skill. He was doing that. Econ 101.

If I had won Powerball, this would be at the top of my shopping list. I saw Argo a couple weeks back and there were people literally hollering and clapping in one of the getaway scenes.

There's no NTSC version of Akira on blu-ray still in print. This upsets me.

My iPhone does not look that bad. I bought apple care and, instead of buying a good $50 case, I'll simply smash my iPhone 5 right before the 6 comes out in probably 2014. I'll sell the replacement in excellent condition or give it away.

But it would still be part of a PC.

Maybe worldwide, but the 360 still has a higher attach rate which means more money for publishers.

We're actually inspired by our Japanese brethren.

Hi! Satoru Iwata here, I know - the face of Nintendo *tee hee*. Listen, here's some stuff reminiscent of what you've played before - except that it's this year you get to do it. Innovation, right? Yeah, we get it at Nintendo.

I need Kidney surgery, but first I'm off Hungary!

No. A half decent PC + Dolphin renders it totally useless.

DaddyDoNotHit because I've always known it's bad for daddies to hit.

I thought there was already a Japanese live action version?

If it's true that we'll something with 8GB of RAM, a mlti-threaded four-core CPU and a GPU on par with, say, a GTX 580 of 660 it will be a while before that is fully tapped. Another long console cycle for sure, but I think seeing things rendered at 1080p and mandatory HDD installs or at least HDD access will provide…

Slow CPU and RAM + a better GPU and more RAM compared to current gen consoles... This thing is dated. Has anyone mentioned the longer texture load in games like Batman anywhere? I remember there was a comparison screenshot floating around somewhere.

Yeah, it's a great deal and I use both services.

I'm really liking the game. No blue shell, actual skill, imaginative and dynamic maps. It's a definite step up from anything Nintendo has done lately. I've also been plowing through on Hard the entire time. Maybe I'm just that good.
