New consoles always have a tinge of excitement for me, but honestly... none of this stuff matters since its all about the games.. and honestly seeing if they can gain some form of 3rd party support.

Retail cost between $350-400
- Manufacturing to begin this Oct.-Nov. with Winter as the earliest release, but likely to wait until 2012 to build up stock
- Based on revamped version of AMD's R700
- custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, clocked higher than that of 360
- potential for stereoscopic 3D
- In terms of the design of the console itself, the overall size will be comparable to that of the original Xbox 360 and the system is likely to resemble a modernized version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
- given the power of the system, could feasibly provide a virtualized console for each individual unit
- "Stream" is being considered as a final name

The more, I hear abotu it. The more I worry.

Seems like they are kind of doing away with motion as well.
