I feel like this is an oversight. I don't care a whole lot about the resolution itself - more what it implies. Microsoft talked up balance and whatnot, but the resolution and framerate differences make it very clear the hardware is significantly different. The resolution maybe the only...

Everyone who thinks MS should give away their OS for free is missing the point. Apple sells hardware with software meant to sell it, Microsoft sells the software themselves. It's like asking Apple to give away macs for free.

I like it. The slimmer one up top (which is the newer shot) looks much better than the chunkier one at the bottom of this article, looks like they slimed down the hand grips or something, it just looks better. Maybe it's just the angle. I still prefer the 360s joystick placement, but I guess we...

Jeepers. I was half tempted until I read 399. It's 7 year old hardware, get real Microsoft. The new consoles should be out in a year or two anyways, they won't want to be that late after the Wii U launches. Not worth it at all at that price.

Calling an initial epic fail if that's true. I didn't think even Sony or Microsoft would go that high out the gate this time around after the hard time they had before, and Nintendo has not demonstrated that the Wii U is significantly more capable than the PS3 or 360 being sold for half that...

They said they would target both the casual and hardcore gaming markets with the Wii U, but all they showed in the latter department were old ports of current gen games. I want to know what's inside the thing and how much more capable than the current consoles it is first. Yeah yeah, graphics...

turboflameWhere did this 6770 rumor come from exactly? The next Xbox is rumored to use a 6670 (Turks) based GPU and apparently this can handle UE4 while Wii U's superior GPU cannot? Last I heard the Wii U was going to use an older 4000 series GPU... That's what I thought, unless there was a...

"The GPU reportedly mounted in the Nintendo console is an AMD Radeon HD 6770." Where did that come from? All the rumours were pointing to an R700 part, aka the 4000 series. I would not be surprised if the U only matched or slightly surpassed this generation, just like the Wii did (that was...

kawininjazxThis is why consoles are more popular: Buy a $400 XBox, plays all the games perfect for seven years or so. Buy $1200 PC, upgrades every 3 years, and there is no guarantee the game will run after you install it. Way I see it, most people will already have a modern PC in their...

There's a Sony Trinitron from the 1980's that still lives in my parents garage. CRTs were tanks. Our Sony LCD HDTV from 2006 is still doing all right though, and they said we should have expected a bulb replacement but ours hasn't blown yet. Though if the bulb goes, to be honest I would...

I like WP7, but come on, this is taking advantage of his words. What he said was WP7 was the most beutiful, but the iPhone is still his proffered daily driver. He uses gadgets from all companies and was commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of each. He even commented on the site originating...

Not happening. So un-Apple like. Their current size is a bit small, I agree, but they'd still do something easy to hold and use with one hand, I'm thinking 4" at most like the Nexus S.

70% bigger battery, same rated battery life. I kind of wish they had a model with the new battery with the old specs, then we'd be into tablet batteries that last multiple days of heavy use.

I don't really care that its not quad core, I'm more curious about the RAM. I think 1GB is pretty certain, but I'll wait for some teardowns. obsama1I the CPU is 2x faster, and there's 4x pixels, that's 1/2 the performance of the iPad 2. GPU performance, CPU is the same.
