XBOX 720 0R PS4?

  yeah, neither sony or microsoft have released any details what so ever about their next consoles as far as specs or looks, any pics online are just made by fans. the same way that if you look online you can find all these people who have made designs for the iphone 5 or even 6 with crazy stuff like holographic displays, they're cool to look at but not even remotely official
  
  as for the console's not needing to be updated i can understand how it seems that way but believe it or not it's not the case mate, think of it this way they're both about 7 yrs old or so, which means obviously the hardware inside is 7 years old, now think of a pc and how out of date a 7yr old pc is, it would be nearly impossible to game on one that old now with any decent results.
  
  i'm not saying for a second that games on either the ps3 or 360 look bad, however it takes a lot of trickery and knowing how to exploit the hardware when we're writing code to get the hardware to be able to produce those results, when the new consoles come out, whenever that might be, it will open the floodgates as it were to get truly great performance without having to kind of trick the hardware.
  
  you can see the difference that the hardware makes if you look at a current top spec pc running a game and the same game on a console.
  
  but as previously mentioned sony themselves have said they have no plans for a new ps for quite a long time, microsoft also haven't said they will be announcing one either but there's strong rumours about it so it's more likely than a new ps

  Yeah some of the designs are good in fairness, but some are ridiculous, good to look at though. .
  
  I`m curious what the next consoles will be capable of graphics wise, since some games now already look like films, should be very interesting, i`m not expecting the next consoles from Sony Or Microsoft to blow away their earlier consoles though graphic wise, at least not on the first games of each console, it always takes developers a while to get used to new hardware.

  that's exactly right, look at condemned criminal origins, which was one of the first games on the 360 and it looks almost identical graphics wise to one of the last games out on the first xbox but if you compare it to a current 360 title it looks shockingly bad.
  
  the main thing new hardware will allow is for truly high fps rates, better definition, more detail throughout the whole picture not just fore and middle ground etc... the other difference is that it will be easier when codding as we won't have to trick the hardware into doing things, it'll just be able to do it etc...
  
  the thing a lot of people don't realise as well is the fact that the current gen of consoles is one of the longest running gens we've ever had! which i think has helped to add credence to the idea of microsoft possibly unveiling something this E3 or next.

  I`ve never seen the condemned games to judge those, but i konw if you look at say the first Uncharted compared to 2 and 3, you can tell that the developers clearly had a better understanding of the hardware when they developed the later ones.

  well anything for the ps3 is a special case, as that thing was a nightmare to code for at the start untill we worked things out.

  Well, it's really too early to tell with the details at hand. I was sure I would be a ps3 man when the announcements were made. I saw the constant redesigns, the increasingly similar controllers, the constantly shrinking list of exclusives, the growing list of PR fuck ups and my decision got made for me. So no early judgements yet.

  fucking hell those consoles looking insane, have to say the xbox one looks much sexier, but i have been a play station fanatic my whole life and i will indeed buy the ps4 but will still try the xbox of course

  you might as well just ignore those pictures, they're not from microsoft or sony, so the chances of either of the new consoles looking anything like them is pretty close to 0.
  
  also i don't know how people can say they will be getting one or the other considering no one knows anything about either yet, i mean i've been a xbox man since the first one came out but i still won't say i'll definitely get the xbox instead of the new playstation whenever they're released as the xbox might be crap and the playstation great or equally it could be the other way around

  lol the xbox looks like a really expensive foreman grill and the PS looks like a radio

  will always be xbox for me ' i dont think the xbox in that picture will be the final look for it and the not official pics anyway and xbox or sony havent released any official info and you know what console makers are like the always swaping and changeing ' for me xbox has been way ahead of sony console wise for a while in my opinion ' and dont see that changing
