Found a little round up of rumours for the two new consoles, thought i'd share

Next Gen PlayStation

• Teams have started to call the final name as Omni.
• Omni will reflect their new hardware and content delivery philosophy.
• Omni will be “very capable” of doing modern day graphics compared to a Direct X 11 level of technology like Unreal Engine 4 and Frostbite 2.
• Compared to Wii U, it is better, but not the biggest leap in the world according to developer friends of mine.
• The new controllers whether it’s the Duo-Moves or the Classic DuoShock will have pulse sensors in the grips for biofeedback gameplay.
• Plans are a Basic Unit with 160 gigs and just the system with controller at $350-$399 and one with the Omniviewer and a pack-in game for $450-$499.
• Aims are for a September 2013 launch.
• Omni is also part of their philosophy with the new OmniCloud, the new version of Gaikai.
• This service will not only cloud stream PS1, PS2 and select PS3 games to Playstation Certified devices but will also allow every digital and retail purchase to have access to a copy on the cloud.
• Basically, you buy one game, you can use it on any Plyastation device.
• Direct hardware Backwards Compatibility will be available by a $70 – $99 dongle that is plugged into the Omni that contains a PS3 on a chip with Cell to run games.

Next Gen Xbox

• Microsoft is slated to be the most powerful out of all the next gen consoles about 4 to 6 times more powerful than Wii U and 2 to 3 times more powerful than Playstation Omni.
• The project has gone through many name iterations and will not be decided on until shortly before it’s E3 unveiling.
• Microsoft is also running into manufacturing issues and developers not having games done on time so instead of delaying the launch to Summer 2014, they are thinking of “soft launching” it Holiday November 2013 and then have a full blow out in the summer.
• All units will come with Kinect 2 built in which can track up to four people, all objects in the living room, clothing, face structure and fingers.
• In 2014, Microsoft will introduce the “LiveWall”, a omni-projection unit that will allow game environments to be projected nearly 360 degrees around the user.
• Using Kinect 2, they have two demos of one that is a battlefield RTS and one that is a kung fu game with guys attacking all around.
• The LiveWall can also project different images on the wall, so people can play different games on different walls.
• Microsoft is prepared to champion this unit as a cheaper and more effective alternative to wearing a “goofy stupid VR headset” to combat Sony’s Omniviewer while Sony is going to point out the low resolution quality and the lack of privacy.
• The system is going to be very expensive in the $499 range so Microsoft is planning on using a remolded X-Box Live (Possibly renamed X-Box Life) to offer a Pro (Gold) subscription two or three-year contract to sell the unit at $300 – $399.
• The final goal with the tech is to shrink the system on a chip down enough so it can be put into tablets, PCs and Smart TVs so that all devices are X-Box ready.

Don't know how reliable the sources for these specific bits of information are but thought it interesting none the less

 

Problem is no one cares about the Ouya. Well apart from LightyKD.

 

I like the "get a physical/digital copy of a game and get access to the Cloud version on all certified devices" idea, but I'm not buying the "360 degrees environment projector" one at all - this ain't no Star Wars. That, and the horsepower sounds way off - I believe that the Nextgen's are going to be more powerful than the WiiU, but the numbers seem to be way off. I guess we'll see - so far this is just some more speculation.

 

OP you forgot about the no used games and always online DRM.

 

Lost all credibility in this rumour.

 

It's baseless specs-ulation; these rumors had no credibility to begin with.

 

That's the biggest pile of shit I've read this year.



This doesn't even deserve the "rumour" label, just classify it as "bullshit".

 

a physical AND a streaming copy? I think they're gonna have problems with people reselling their physical copies.

Also, I just read someone comment on a rumor somewhere else in the forum that Microsoft's new console was just gonna be clocked at 1.63ghz which still WOULD be an improvement since the 360's proc was so inefficient for what it can do with it's clock cycles.

More rumors.

 

No, just no. Wii u stop? That's becoming so over used.

Throwing a dart at all these rumors , some of those things have to be true.

Play advocate,

The 720 does have to carry kinect, play multiple games at once and a bunch of other stuff
if this is somehow true.

Maybe they will lock the copies to the system. Which would be mess up.
