More speculation has sprouted up with a spanish xbox site claiming that the Xbox 360's price will be revealed in two weeks at a game conference located in Leipzig, Germany. We'll also assume this is the same conference that the QWERTY keypad came from.

A Boy And his Xbox 360
 
So basically, a boy posted some images of himself playing an Xbox 360 on the net through connections his step father has working at a new job at Microsoft. How lovely of him to do so... There are three images he posted, two that include the system itself and one aimed at the t.v. he was playing off.

It’s pretty common for kids to go trolling on game forums and make obnoxious claims such as having a go on the Xbox 360 in their own home. Well, this thread on Gamespot started that way, except the kid actually backed up his claims with these photos:

Nintendo Reveloution Relese Dates
.
Last week, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata publicly stated that the Revolution may be the last next-gen console to market - after the PS3 and Xbox 360. Gamespot are reporting Nintendo has said only that the Revolution will be released in 2006 in North America, without specifying any date. Iwata's comments indicate that the console could appear after the launch of Sony's PlayStation 3, which is currently slated for a spring 2006 launch in the US. Microsoft's Xbox 360 will arrive on store shelves during the 2005 holiday season worldwide.



Ps3s price will kill sony
A report from Merrill Lynch Japan is claiming Sony is expected to suffer a loss of more than $1 billion during the first year of the PlayStation 3's release. The company believes it will cost approx $500 to make each unit and is estimating Sony will sell the console for $399. Ken Kutaragi doesn't think the price point will be a problem because consumers will want the new system - and he's rather hoping they'll buy lots of games...

Toyo Keizai magazine interviewed SCE president Ken Kutaragi, who said "Whether consumers think a product is expensive or cheap all depends on the balance between its appeal and price," he said. "Our ideal [price for the PS3] is for consumers to think to themselves, 'OK, I'll work more hours and buy it.' We want people to feel that they want it, no matter what."

He continued...

"When Nintendo was selling its 16-bit machine at around 12,500 yen ($114), we sold the first PlayStation at 39,800 yen ($364)," continued Kutaragi. "The press was saying that it was expensive, but it was a huge hit. It's the same thing with the PlayStation Portable from last year. The Game Boy Advance is a same handheld gaming machine, and it costs less than 10 thousand yen ($91). On the other hand, our PSP had cost 25,000 yen ($229). But people lined up overnight to buy it, and it sold out on the day of its launch. It all depends on whether people want it. Of course, I'm confident that the PS3 is a product that people will definitely want."
10 MILLION 360S SOLD IN FIRST YEAR' - PETER MOORE

Microsoft exec reckons he can shift huge amounts of Xbox 360s in first year of launch
Microsoft is aiming to shift 10 million Xbox 360s worldwide in its first year on sale, according to a top executive.

Speaking at the ELSPA International Games Summit today in London, Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing, said that his target was to sell 10 million 360s around the world in the "first 12 to 16 months of launch."

The Xbox 360 is expected to launch across the globe this November, although Microsoft is yet to announce an official date.

To put Moore's figure into context, it took three years for Microsoft to sell 20 million Xboxes worldwide. Moving 10 million in a single year would be a stunning feat for the company and would truly signal Microsoft's arrival as a true competitor to Sony`s dominance.

News About The Lanch Date For The New Consels
 
Ubisoft estimates U.S. Playstation 3 in late 2006


In a 2004 - 2005 annual report today, third-party video game publisher Ubisoft estimated the U.S. Playstation 3 to launch in Q3 of 2006. Sony previously said at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo that the Playstation 3 would be released in spring 2006.

Video game publishers like Ubisoft are among the first to know specifics related to hardware production schedules in order to coordinate development time for upcoming games. However, Ubisoft's estimation will have the Playstation 3 launching close to one year after Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Microsoft is scheduled to release the Xbox 360 in November 2005.

A launch one year after the Xbox 360 would cement multi-million units sold for Microsoft before the Playstation 3 even reaches store shelves. Such a gamble is unlikely for Sony, which is determined to continue next-generation console domination.

Industry_News_2005_31.jpg

Sony's Playstation 2 has sold 90 million units to date, far past Xbox's estimated 21 million and Nintendo's GameCube.

Microsoft blamed less accumulated units sold on the launch date of the Xbox, which debuted one year after the PS2. The company was determined to start the next-generation ahead of Sony and will have Xbox 360 on stores shelves in the U.S. and Japan for the holidays.

The annual report also estimated a Q4 2006 U.S. launch for Nintendo's next-generation console. Nintendo has said that Revolution would see a 2006 release, but did not give further launch specifics.
 
 
ATI on Xbox 360 "Easily As Fast as PS3"
 
360's graphical core speed can (said by Ati) easily counter PS3's good graphics Card
 
 the public loves them. Bigger equals better. It's one of the reasons Xbox 360 is called Xbox 360 rather than Xbox 2. Stack an Xbox 2 next to a PS3 on a shop shelf, and which is you average punter going to think is better? And this is similarly the case with Xbox 360 and PS3 graphical core speeds, reckons ATi - but we shouldn't allow ourselves to be blinded by what's written down on paper.
Xbox 360's Xenos graphical core runs at 500Mhz. PS3's nVidia-developed RSX graphical core runs at 550Mhz. However, Ati says that the Xbox 360's unique graphical architecture quite capably makes up for the apparent shortfall between the two core speeds

Dipping further into technical details, Ati says that "Rather than separate pixel and vertex pipelines, we've created a single unified pipeline that can do both. Providing developers throw instructions at our architecture in the right way, Xenos can run at 100% efficiency all the time, rather than having some pipeline instructions waiting for others."

He highlights high-end PC power in comparison, saying that high-end PC chips typically run at between 50% and 60% efficiency.

Bit-tech.net has also questioned Ati on how the two next-gen consoles' CPU architecture will affect general brute grunt and graphical power. His response is that, while PS3 with seven Cell cores appears to have considerable CPU power, the real bottleneck lies in the graphical side of things. 

Ati talks about the current trend in the CPU world of going "multi-threaded and multi-core" (think CPU's processing things very, very fast; Xbox 360 has three PowerPC cores, incidentally), saying that while "writing multi-threaded apps for two or three cores is difficult... Doing it for seven separate cores, when the main core has a slightly different feature-set from the other six, is very, very difficult."

Or in other words, PS3 presents developers with a far more difficult challenge than Xbox 360.

Ati also reckons that because PS3's RSX graphical core isn't unified - i.e. it doesn't feature unified vertex and pixel pipelines - "PS3 will almost certainly be slower and less powerful."
