Next Gen Console Specs- It Begins

[kpxgq]

The next iPhone will probably surpass the graphics capabilities of the current console generation.

Unless Microsoft and Sony move to a 12-18mo release cycle they are going to get spanked by cell phones. They must realize this at some level. This 5yr+ lifecycle can not survive.

In which case, perhaps moving to x86 does make sense, because developers won't have time to learn code on a new platform every 18 months.

hell, phone technology is already surpassing desktop PC tech in many respects (ie look at the retina display and the HD AMOLED displays compared to desktop monitors which are mostly still low ppi TN panels).. i think my smartphone is actually my 2nd most powerful "computer" after my dedicated gaming rig lol:

- gaming rig: 3ghz dual core, 8gb ram, radeon 6870, 1920x1080 ips display
- phone: 1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, powerVR SGX540, 720p OLED display
- HTPC: 1ghz dual core, 2gb ram, hooked up to a 1080p plasma
- server: 1.6ghz dual core, 2gb ram
