Comics industry caught a reprieve from finally (finally) catching on that they might be able to make a buck or two off people reading comics on their PCs and tablets. It only took several years of people scanning and pirating comics for it to sink in :lol

The ps4 footage didn't count?

If you already have a good PC, next gen looks like much ado about nothing with a heaping side of anti-consumerism. There better be some killer console exclusive games on these systems.

Yes but out of the 150 million people that bought a PS3 / 360 I don't think more then 5% have a pc in that range.

Steam has what, 15 million users? Most of those are crappy laptops.

I think Valve publishes what their users have even and it's not OMG NEXT GEN  hardware.

No point of making GDC thread,this one will do fine

So far not a word from MS about Rango.If nothing comes out in next week or two then I think it's very likely that Rango reveal will be very close to E3,just like 360.Swargs won't be pleased :D

Now,something more real

http://allthingsd.com/20130325/a-look-ahead-at-gdc-its-mobile-vs-consoles-in-fight-for-game-developers-attention/

Quote
If you only read one gaming statistic this week, let it be this one: In a pre-conference survey, GDC 2013′s organizers found that 58 percent of gaming professionals attending either last year’s conference or this one plan to release their next game on smartphones or tablets.

No need to be gloomy

UE4 demo teaser




Are you perhaps interested in Surface Pro?
Quote
Generations beyond ARM performance

Prepare for a tablet experience that's far faster and much smoother than anything you've worked with before. Probably the most impressive thing about Surface Pro is that, couched purely in terms of component performance, we're looking at a device that boasts a 10x jump in performance in many areas over the best of the ARM offerings. CPU, graphics core, RAM and storage are way beyond the capabilities of a conventional tablet and it shows.

It looks like Rango will be following 360 reveal path(without MTV of course).

About 5.3 minutes for 50MB/s drive(rumored to be in Rango).Assuming ideal conditions and no decompression.
Enough time for few next gen sandwiches.


Rango(rumors) vs PS4

Rango
Full installs(like PC).

PS4
Mark Cerny interview mentioned using BD and Hard drive combo to battle load times.That sounds like PS3 situation(partial installs + blu-ray).

MS proved with Windows 8 that they're willing to throw their longtime existing customers under the bus in search of new and greater profit. The next Xbox will probably follow that philosophy, esp. considering that both the PC desktop and console market are shrinking.

Oh, I didn't even look at the topic title. I do believe that the Durango will have some kind of stripped down version of W8 as the OS. That's the reason they need 3 GB of memory for the OS. I suppose you could swipe with a Kinect instead of a touchscreen.

Quote
Sony, he said, approached AMD based on the company's track record with the Xbox 360, Wii and other consoles, effectively skipping over Nvidia, which provided the chips for the PS3.

"[Sony's] approach - and they've said this publicly over the last couple of days here at GDC - was, 'We looked at some of the ways that we approached hardware in the past, and we wanted to improve.' And they looked at us as being able as being able to provide that."

AMD could provide an integrated solution through its APU that Nvidia couldn't, he continued, by optimizing information flows, generating greater performance, better power and heat efficiency, and by providing tools and dev relationships to provide the PS4 a strong launch.

Quote
In a recent interview with TechRadar, Nvidia's Tony Tamasi sized up the PS4's specs to "a low-end CPU, and a low- to mid-range GPU" when compared to gaming PCs. The console's innards, Tamasi said, are outdated even now, months before the PS4 launches during the 2013 holiday season.

"Well, of course they're going to do that," Robison said with a laugh when told of the comparison. "They're a little bitter."

I meant for multi platform even if the game in consolised.  I buy a system if there are good exclusives on it.  And i have been holding off on the wii, will only buy one if i can get a couple of good games on it, for when the kids of relatives come over.  I dont like them looking bored when they come over.
