Microsoft is the Limbo champion.

Here's some more.

PC.

SO GOOD, EVEN MICROSOFT RUNS IT!

Also, >Win 7

even Microsoft knows Windows 8 is [parasitic bomb].

[Protoman Blues]

There's always lower! 

[Police Girl]

They're already the Limbo champion though.

Unless they play the special brand of limbo where you go through the floor or something.

You're still going to be saying that even if Microsoft dispatches employees to burn down Sony headquarters.

I wouldn't be surprised if they go so low that they tear a hole through the space-time continuum.

So it can run Windows? [tornado fang] that. If I want a PC (preferably Windows XP or 7) that I can actually upgrade and play games without DRM (legal or otherwise), I'd get a friggin' PC, not a cheap piece of hardware with horseshit DRM.

Mr. Xbones wild ride...

I see what you did there

[ViperAcidZX]

I'd rather go through the entire hellish CarnEvil than ride on Mr. Xbones Wild Ride...

-EDIT-
I'm surprised the thread hasn't been renamed to something more fitting to describe how [parasitic bomb] Xboned is.

[Quickman]

From what I gathered from the images, the console showcased was merely a box with LEDs, while the actual system running the demos was a hidden computer.

Smooth move, X-Lax.

[Flame]

Well thats what most devs do. At E3, it's almost all gaming PC's running the gamesbecause they don't have the consoles ready. (especially Microsoft who's currently degrading their console due to those issues they were having. ) So they wow people with impressive PC quality graphics and framerate, because it's a PC, and the console version usually won't be nearly as good.

Though from what i hear, Nintendo tends to be the exception, always running ACTUAL consoles, even if they are prototype "in development" versions.

[Quickman]

If this is pretty much common knowledge, why hide it?  Seems underhanded to me.

[VixyNyan]

There's just some specs they don't want to show "just yet", so that people will still think it's the "most powerful console" of all time.

Snapping some comments from a friend that details his discoveries and personal knowledge.

[Sakura Leic]

Can you pull up the rest of the current gen console specs for a comparison?

[Mirby]

really how much worse can this get

[Quickman]

There's ALWAYS... worse.

[Fxeni]

Tends to be GTX 670s in those things.

[Police Girl]

There's ALWAYS... worse.

Though at this point we've yet to see what they're going to do next that makes it go even lower.

Though, what's the tally for the stupid [parasitic bomb] Microsoft has done now? I'm sure one exists.

Let me try and think of the series of events:

-Xbox One, stupid name that's confusing.
-Kinect Required to play.
-TV SPORTS TV SPORTS
-Internet Connection every 24 hours required to play. (Every hour if on a console that isn't yours.)
-Forced Install onto harddrive for physical games, thus eliminating the purpose of physical games.
-Used Games and Rentals are dead, Used games only allowed if the Publisher says its okay, still might have to pay a fee.
-Don Mattrick calls Backwards Compatibilty and people who care about it 'really backwards'
-$500
-Don Mattrick tells people that if people don't have a reliable internet connection that they should stick with the 360.
-Japan isn't on the launch list
-Day One Edition Preorder with Achievement and DLC
-Doritos/Mountain Dew Promotion

If this is pretty much common knowledge, why hide it?  Seems underhanded to me.

Probably because Microsoft is trying to pass it off as an actual console under the cabinet, when it's all smoke and mirrors. ESPECIALLY during presentations. They are trying to sell it as WOW LOOK AT ALL THIS [parasitic bomb] I'M DOING IN REAL TIME

When it's really not, and isn't even running on Xbox comparable hardware. No, it's just plain and simple a PC build. A high end Gaming PC.

Also, the fact that the PC's they are running at E3, don't even use "comparable specs". That PC, as pointed out by some astute /v/ users, (conformed by other PC folk as well) is running a Nvidia GTX 700 series or something GPU, when the actual Xboned uses a modified AMD GPU. there's also a water cooled CPU. And they are also using Windows 7, as opposed to the Windows 8 that the actual system uses.



Sony meanwhile, apparently is running on actual PS4 stuff. A Knack demo crashed at E3, and the interface was all Sony's PS4 OS, no PC stuff to be seen there.





And did we already discuss how Microsoft had folks going to the Wii-U event asking people why they were in line for a Wii_U when they could go around the corner to the Xboned stand and preorder it?

Apparently, the Wii-U turnout was bigger than Best Buy expected.

On that note, very interesting article
