"Any N5 specs around?"

Because the proposed specs for the Xbox successor look mighty fine.

*Considers a Nintendo betrayal*

Hmmm.

What's to say the N5 won't have 3.. or 4? :D

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. :)

But 3 64 bit processors - WOW

But ain't IBM producing the processor chip for N5, X-Box2, and PS3?

:)

Specs mean nothing. They are lied about to generate interes**t. I'm not saying the Xbox isn't the mos**t technically powerful console but it certainly doesn't do what Microsoft said it would. They said Dead or Alive 3 had over 100 million polygons per character (Xbox.com) yet it was close to 15 million when it was released. It remains one of the mos**t graphically spectacular games even so long after release but that doesn't s**top the bull about what the game could do being blown out of the water when it was tes**ted. Its like running your graphics card on a FPS tes**t yet when the game is running with all the environmental variables and what not its a lot lower.

Its how good the game looks and plays, not a load of sh*t spread by Microsoft saying what they wished it could do.

Even if what I believe will happen doesn't happen. I tell you something.

The Xbox2 and N5 will have very similar processing powers and graphics, its all come about because Microsoft jumped company to IBM, and IBM are still very cosy in bed with Nintendo. This is another reason my rumour could be very warm on the oven as well. The two companies will have nearly a console that is internally the same.

However, rumours are fast mounting that the XBox2 will be backwards compatible, this could cause complications and actually reduce the potential of Microsoft's next console, as the console internal specifications will have to stay around a certain range for the games to play - unless of cause they are emulated which Microsoft (I hear) are looking into.

Don't expect any of the next consoles to be much different, unless of cause Sony manage to get their 'world domination chip' working with any sort of graphics and motherboard, something they cannot do at the moment. A chip as powerful as the one they are talking about is quite frankly - scary.

Lol, Er-no, still convinced about that daft rumour? You've been going on about that for about a year now!

And Cookie, if you're thinking of jumping ship just because the Xbox2 might have better specs than the N5, why not jump ship now? No one denies the Xbox is technically the better console (despite of course being far inferior in the quality of exclusive software).

I just hope you were joking when you blasphemed against dear ol' Ninty..

The same as the XBox2 specs.

They'll be the same console.

:P

You're thinking of jumping ship because X-box specs are looking good?

*respect gone*

Can't afford both, jumping ship from nintendo revolves around two things. Launch titles and whether or not the village gets broadband. My MP is having a surgery this friday so i may ask Robin Cook if he can influence BT in any way.
