Their not gonna bump up the specs because then they'll have to bump up the price and then it will look even more horrible on a shelf next to the PS4.

One correction... it WON'T look horrible on the shelf next to the PS4 because there won't BE any PS4s on the shelf!

Bada bing!

You do realise they were not pc's as you think? They were alpha development kits. That means they are not the final dev kits that will be used for the rest of the consoles life. Microsoft always does this with their consoles. Their first dev kit is in a PC tower.

Such a moronic comment. Know the facts before you blabber.

I don't think so. Too many factors. If they bump up the ram they will need to bump up the price or take away kinect. Clock-speed could be likely, but given the die size...

I think they will just go through the launch with current specs, but if MS proves me wrong, then major kudos to them.

Or they could have had multiple prototypes, and just decided to go with the higher spec one, with the price already having reflected the highest end unit ......and if they decided to go with a lower spec, a surprise price drop, as the high price tag is not need. Probably not, but wishful thinking..

Way too hypothetical.

They already have a set price and months before launch.

RROD all over again, I feel sorry for Xbox fanboys.

YNWA962795d ago

Dumb ass, not about fanboys, which you just made clear you are a Sony fanboy, but I like games.... Some games I cannot get elsewhere... Only on Xbox... And vice versa and so on....if you claim to be a 'gamer' you will play them no matter where they are....if you are only interested in hardware.... Stay the fvck away from me... Do not want others to think I am a loser too... Bottom line is I like to play games... So I have owned nearly all that has been available.... Never had handhelds though... When I am out, I am having a life... Living, that kind of stuff.... Pub.... Errrr pub..... Lots of nice people in those places....

That don't make him a Sony fanboy. He could be a Nintendo fanboy, are you a Microsoft fanboy? Cause don't forget that they had the biggest failure rate. I went threw 4 of them before I switched to the darkside, yes there's a few games I would like to play that Sony doesn't have, but just cause ima gamer don't mean ima have a 5th box fail on me just to have a game. This gen of games hasnt been the best at all. No need to go off on someone just cause he spoke the possible truth.

Pillsbury12795d ago

@ ghost420

Thank you, gman is obviously not accepting the truth about the failure rate and the 180 in Microsofts return policy because of it. I will admit I don't like Microsoft only because they want to ripoff their consumers with their monopoly strategy and fees on top of fees.

@ Gman0174

I agree with every word. Keep on gaming bro.

@ XxGHOSTxX-420

Pillsbury1 may not be a Sony fanboy but is definitely anti MS.

YNWA962795d ago

I went through 3 Xbox 360, 2 ps3, but I do not feel sorry for me or anyone, I know the deal, I take the chance.... Call me what you want, I like games. Pillsbury was a mindless comment. I understand your point xghost, and you were constructive. Pillsbury was just personal. Heisenberg, your very welcome, thank you. Now back to minecraft.... Cannot stop playing this game!

Hozi2795d ago

Don't worry Gman. When Xbox fades away into history like Dreamcast......we'll be getting all the best games on PS. :)

Nah.... By then there will be a google console... Using the cloud and you search for games....

Soldierone2795d ago

It'd be pretty bad if MS isn't already producing parts for the console, and to go change it now? It'll either be delayed or full of bugs again like 360....

Plus doing that kinda shows "hey we don't have too much faith in the cloud." I thought their "lower" specs were justified by games using the cloud?

AWESOME!!!

I am EXTREMELY curious to see the hardware problems this system may face given the Xbox 360's failure problems.

mcstorm2795d ago

Wow people on here are so one track minded. The original Xbox was a solid console and it was only the original 360 that had the issue.

I don't see Ms changing the specs on the one and I don't think they need to. Power is not everything on a console its about games and from what we have seen so far the one has plenty of games to get people to buy there console.

Also no one will know how well the one or ps4 will sell until after the 1st 12 months od being on the market but I think a lot of people on here are going to be eating there words as I don't see the one or ps4 hitting the ground running as the ps3 and 360 still have the big name games in cod, bf, gt6 and gt5.

I think it will be 12 to 18 months before we see who has the edge in the next gen console but for me I could not care less as I will own all 3 consoles as they all have games I want to play on them.

gaffyh2795d ago

It wasn't just the original 360, it was every model until the S models that came out so many years later. Also for a whole year they denied there was even a problem! When the UPS guy collected my 360, he actually said, "Is it a 360?", and I replied saying "Yes, are you getting a lot of them", and he replied saying they were getting two or three a day, and that's just in my area!

RedHawkX2795d ago

over 9000! problems on day one lol

badkolo2795d ago

they bumped up the ram last gen before release becuase epic told them they need it after showing them gow with 256 versus 512. so to think they cant bump the ram now is foolish, they can if they want to and most likely will

Mkai282795d ago (Edited 2795d ago )

Yeah I think it was 3 to 4 months before release wasn't it?

brother_zero2795d ago

Microsoft has now become the embarrassingly desperate ex-girlfriend of gamers everywhere. Trying so hard to make it right but they just keep looking worse and worse.

Agree 4 Disagree 1

brother_zero2795d ago

I wouldn't even bet 500 $ on Xbox even lasting through the next gen. Remember Zune? When M$ gets burned they may just pull the plug.

Mkai282795d ago

Epic is at it again..

johnsonbat2795d ago

Doubt it.

AtomicGerbil2795d ago

Surely it's getting too late to be changing specs?

threefootwang2795d ago

But but, da power of da cloud will win!

Weren't they bragging how with the cloud they don't need to rely on hardware anymore?

Lol, seriously M$ you guys are beyond help.
