I think there is a good foundation that can be built upon here. I like the new cleaner look.

Here are some ideas:

Makes the posts take up the whole width of the page. Make posts only show the most recent quote. Move the board selection and top poster area somewhere else or delete them entirely. Repeat the "reply to this topic" and "watch this topic" buttons on the bottom of the page. Add a go to page button. Generally make the forums more like Neogaf but with a GameSpot look.

2013 or the consoles are dead on arrival. I think Sony and MS realize this so both will come out 2013.

It'll be close to a 7970M, or a 7850. A lot of people in the know have been saying these specs sound about right.

There was actually another rumor on gaf that Sony replaced the steamroller cores with Jaguar cores. That would give a pretty weak CPU. It will be interesting to see if Sony goes from strong CPU + weak GPU --> to strong GPU + weak CPU.

Calendar year wise the 360 sold the most in 2011. Fiscal Year '11 PS3 sold more.:twisted:

Really? I thought Nikkei said 30K Yen aka $300 to $350? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=476797&highlight=nikkei

Lol Ipad 3 is not close to 360's power. From speculation I've read it might on be on par with, or slightlybetter than Vita. But Ipad 3 will actually have worse graphics because it has much higher resolution and not as close access to the hardware.

Bottom line:

Vita will have better graphics.

Wii U
Wii U uses the tablet
Launchesmid-late 2012
Wii U launch cost $350
Weakest, but better multiplat support

PS4
Sony combines the Dual Shock 3 and Move into one controller
Launches late 2013
Costs $400
Strongest, but no BC

Xbox 3
MS uses Kinect, and a standard controller
Xbox 3 late 2013
Costs $350
Middle power, good but expensive online, few exclusives

Based on this I project at the end of the generation:

Wii U 80 million
PS4 60 million
Xbox3 45 million
