....XboxIf these rumours are true. The mag has a good history of being right and also says the system uses "Four cores each divided into four logical cores" and 8GB of ram. However keep in mind dev kits often have more ram on board than final kitshttp://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/11/ ... lled-xbox/

So how the hell are we suppose to refer to the first Xbox then? Xbox 1? May as well call this one Xbox 3 then to make conversation and search queries easier on the web.

For Microsofts sake that Coke analogy hopefully won't be true for them since new Coke was crap compared to Classic Coke.

I can never find out from people if it was really bad or just different. I'm inclined to believe it was just different. Like more sugar and more Pepsi like.

Innit. I always wanted to try New Coke out of curiosity. How long did it run for exactly?

Well it started in 1985 and received tons of negative feedback and it was renamed Coke II then was halted in 1992.
Its considered Coca-Colas biggest blunder ever.

Coke in Mexico tastes different then up here I notice.
The name sounds funny, but I've only ever heard one thing even from people I used to work with. everyone says it'll be a massive technical monster. while I don't agree with the approach thats the one they seem to want to take, 8GB sounds rather high maybe like 4-6 range.

I have had Mexican coke yeah, its because they use real sugar cane rather than sugar beet which is used in the US. My dad go some for me not too long ago when he was in Cali.

I wouldn't say biggest blunder ever. More like "Coca-Cola's mistake". It's their only memorable one.
And lol@Coke II. Sounds like Santa Claus: The Movie... "We'll call it Christmas... TWO!"

Personal early opinion. Wii U will still be the casual system of choice. Power wise be the PS2. Xbox be the most powerful and PS4 be like Gamecube. PS4 also be in 3rd place.
I will try and get all 3 eventually

I dunno, if recent years have taught us anything, it's that you can't judge one generation based on the previous. Nintendo might fail big time. Microsoft could do too. Hell, this new mini console that got funded on Kickstarter could become a global phenomenon. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but you never know...

Ouya has a hard time selling itself. basically Android mobile games in a small box. Not exactly going to set the world on fire. Histoy has show these weird side consoles never do well at all.

Is Ouya still going? That kinda dropped off the map after the whole kickstarter thing.
