Makes sense... Or, people are more interested because of the big number.

of course it will be bigger

bottenfield ummmmm... neither because consoles are a waste and are slowing down the gaming industry. We on pc will have specs that are almost twice as fast even when either of these are released, sorry to say and at a much cheaper price tag :p

A good gaming PC costs WAY more then an Xbox with 2 controllers and live for a year with the newest game you can get.

WELL SAID !!!!!!!!!
Let's see here (note, these are all regular prices):

Xbox 360 (250GB version, cause let's face it, the 4GB one sucks)- $300
Live -$60
2 Controllers - $100
New game- $60
_____________
Total: $520

Now, for 520 dollars, you can build a pretty decent gaming PC for yourself. But let's extend this further. There are deals on Steam all the time, for sometimes half-off or more than what you would get on consoles. You save tons of money, especially if you buy a decent amount of games in the lifespan of your console/PC. In addition, it's not fair to only count 1 year of Live. In an average 5 year console generation, you'd be spending $300 of Live. Not to mention that when the new consoles come out, they'll be about $400. So here is a revised list of what the costs will be like next gen over the course of 5 years (not including games):

Xbox 720- $400
Live- $300
Extra controller- $60
______________________
Total= $760

IDK about you, but for around the same price, I can get a decent gaming PC for about 760, including upgrades over about 4 years (2 years per upgrade), for the same price. Not to count all the deals there are with Steam. Basically, consoles, in the long term, do not have a price advantage over PC's, and PC's can come out cheaper over time. That's why next gen, I'm going to be a PC gamer.

That's what everyone seems to think and yet, when PS4 and 720's come out, the average price is probably going to be around $400-$500.. You do realize you can build a pretty good gaming pc for the price right? Hell, r00t tell's me it's possible with only $300.

Wouldn't***

Wouldnd't be surprised by this at all.

Patchy I'm moving to PC once those consoles come out. That simple.

I Agree next gen consoles are coming out too early.

TOO EARLY? Do you have some sort of mental deficiency? Games that come out nowadays are pushing consoles to the brink of their capacity, the Xbox 360 came out 7 YEARS AGO, and it's too early? How much longer should they wait, then? I swear man, some people on these forums just piss me off...

Agreed.

i also agree with -SpecOps-

and i think the same as google

people are really fricken dumb if they are saying its to early...but i wont decide until i see the new xbox for myself cause who knows what they have in store for us
