CES '05

Design study? Prototype? Final hardware? Halo3? ;)

I think there really is an possibility for a Winter 2005 release of Xenon. Look at the release schedule, no 1st or 2nd party titles are planned for a release during the 2nd half of 2005, and almost no third party titles as well (3 to 5 titles). Of course, it's still a year away, and I expect titles such as Rayman 4, Half-Life 2,... to be released at the end of 2005, but the lack of 1st/2nd party titles...

I'm getting a hint that Billy boy may be doing a little more than talking about Xenon...

What i'd really like to know is if the X-Box 2 can be used as a MCE 2005 extender WITH hdtv support. Besides all the juicy info about the actual hardware of course.

Actually they confirmed HL2 to XBOX in a gamespot special.
 
Along the lines of what Dave hinted..they are probably going to repeat the same show they did with the first xbox iteration. We are going to see a xenon based demo soon..maybe it will run on something very similar to the final hardware this time.
This is a good thing ...Sony need some pressure..I want to know more about PS3...ehehe :)
It will be also interesting to know if the leaked xenon specs are someway close to the real xenon specs.

ciao,

Yes.

Hopefully the "leaked" document had a GPU diagram based off of the 420 not the 520. I'll admit that I'm greedy for powerful systems.

I know nothing is never powerful enough for us :)twisted:), but I think that xenon, as far as we know it from leaked specs, it is very powerful! I wouldn't be surprised if xenon will end being more powerful than ps3 in a lot of areas.

I wouldnt be surprise too considering the relative closeness of launch systems, and ATI at the helm. The constant belief of PS3 blowing away Xenon or Xenon is DC2 because of MS early entry plans, its something i never buy. We are speaking of MS, and at most 4-6 months lapse without considering specs lock down too. Next year E3 will be interesting.
 
I have to agree too. Even though Xenon will be released before PS3, in some ways it will be more powerful than PS3. I predict PS3 will have problems getting efficiency up to scratch.
 
I predict it will be tough to harness PS3 too, but this is a CES05 thread, about Xbox2.

(Just my way to avoid this from becoming the 5th weekly PS3 vs Xbox2 thread)
 
Not blaming anyone, let's just get back into track and that's it.


(at least he has the knowledge to make intelligent comments about console programming, i must say)

I know, that's why I said/meant those are the only probable third party titles for Xbox. ;)
