    • "There is a ZERO chance that the console manufacturers will MANDATE that used games cannot be played. "

      I stopped reading when I saw that.

      • anyway lets stop this useless debate and look at this! there making a Video game movie! looks fucking awesome.

        + YouTube Video

          Is that really your outstanding proof? An article with a bunch of industry analyst who say that it's unlikely the used gaming market is going anywhere, and some game developer who thinks it would be a good idea, but doesn't actually know whether MS or Sony are going that route?

          That's not really compelling. Even in the face of both MS and Sony saying that it's not true.
          Now you'd never call Erwin a "Wussy"
          Nor label his working day "cushy"
          But you might have to question
          His endless obsession
          With superpositional pussy.

              No, they didn't. It's been a rumor for a while, but it's never been denied.

                • So the absence of confirmation makes it denial? No, pretty sure that is playing the cards close to the chest, figuratively speaking.

                  • ^^ Yes. Unless you are sending things to Ethan Van Sciver. Then absence of confirmation means yes.

                        Storage
                        Internal flash memory (amount unknown)
                        Expandable memory via SD memory card or external USB hard drive

                        CPU
                        IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor

                        IBM has also revealed it to be a 45nm chip, with embedded DRAM. Additionally, the CPU is based on the same chip that is used in the Watson supercomputer, implying it is a Power7 model. (Source: Kotaku)
                        Previously rumored to be roughly 50% more powerful than PS3. (Source: IGN) Recent reports of actual hardware however suggest it to be much greater, putting it around 20% less powerful than the next gen Xbox (which is rumored to be at least 6 times more powerful than current gen consoles). Again, all rumors however.

                        GPU
                        AMD Radeon-based High Definition GPU

                        Reports from 2011 suggest it is based on the RV770 architecture, unlike previous reports which merely pointed to the general R700 series and supports DirectX 10.1
                        This chip is used in ATi's Radeon HD 4800 series cards
                        "Eyefinity-like multi-display tech for up to four SD video streams"
                        According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console uses an AMD Radeon HD 6770 and supports DirectX 11
                        Note that none of this is official from Nintendo
                        Sources: Engadget, GameWatch[1]
                        RAM
                        According rumors about details leaked by a Ubisoft employee just before E3 2012, the console will have 2 GB of RAM, with 560 MB of RAM dedicated to the main OS.

                        Wii U Daily Rumors
                        In early December, Wii U Daily reported hardware information supposedly received from a Japanese developer. They consisted of:

                        Quad-core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45 nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip.
                        768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
                        Unknown, 40 nm ATi-based GPU
                        While Wii U Daily suggested that this would put the Wii U on par with the XBox 360 in terms of performance[2], PCMag.com clarified, that not only were some of the details inevitably misreported, but that just the processor specs would, " ' In terms of raw power, ... put the Wii U way ahead of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.' "

                        INPUT/OUTPUT

                        So Which is it? A few days ago you said Nintendo posted the Wii U spec. Now you have one saying that it leaked. If Nintendo posted your first post then how is what you just posted now "leaked"
                        I LOVE conspiracy theorists. They are like human versions of the cymbal clapping, dancing monkeys. No one takes them all that seriously and they get bored with them after about 10 minutes.

                              how the hell do you think i found out about dead space 3's story a year early?

                              heck just because things always say rumor dosent always mean it is what the title says

                              ive learned from last year to know anything deemed a rumor is the complete opposite because it usually turns out legit

                              another example the day 1 dlc for mass effect 3. the developers denied it after ea themselves spoiled it 1 year ago

                              also the current rumor for batman arkham city developers rocksteady is said to be working on a tmnt game

                              so far no 3rd arkham game has been announced at all so im suspecting that tmnt rumor may in fact be true
                              All that is stupid though.

                              Thats like me saying I heard a rumour Activision are working on a new COD, its rumoured to be out 2013, Activision have yet to confirm if its true.

                              Rocksteady are rumoured to be working on batman arkham 3, its confirmed the game will get released sometime in the future.

                              Capcom rumours abound, they plan to release DLC for the upcoming RE6 game.

                              You see its so easy to make up shit vaguely that IS going happen, Razor and the rest should just start a gaming blog and write any batshit insane rumour and have you go rip the article and post it here as truth.

                                I stopped reading when I saw that.
                                I'll say this: if that EVER can to be, Id never buy another product from whichever company pulled it off.........
