You´re totally right. I mean I love to play games on my consoles, although sometimes as stated before some problems can be seen from streching (upscaling) the image, and the end result is not eye pleasing (sub 720p upscaled to 1080p), or the lag. The main problem comes from manufacturers who should put native modes for certain resolutions.

As I've said earlier, according to the leaked Durango dev kit pics, even the weaker of the two possible GPUs (HD6870) is perfectly capable of running BF3 at 1080p 60fps on Ultra settings - so I think it is reasonable to assume they'll be just as many 1080p games next gen as they were 720p this gen, though developers might trade 60fps refresh for prettier pixels at 30 or go the Alan Wake route and render at 720p.
I will be happy with games like BF3@1080p/60 and better graphics@1080p/30 and then, 720p/60. 720p/30 for the most demanding games
Nothing new, but we had only rumours. If it is not fake then we can confirm some rumours.
Well, there was that picture in leaked MS roadmap that showed nextgen kinect that had two camera packages mounted on both sides of a TV. Who knows how expensive this setup will be.
Could be Kinect 2 hardware is in limited numbers, so you have to argue your case for needing it. If not doing anything specially with Kinect, use of conventional hardware (microphone, existing Kinect) could be enough to integrate and test Kinect API calls.

I don't think devs should force themselves to hit 1080p if it means sacrificing pixel quality. In fact, I really hope most devs target 720p and try to push the pixel quality a lot. If a dev make a game that run at 1080p60, I'll be thinking how much beautiful it would look in 720p60 (or even 30 for slow non twitch games like rpg). If they can really improve on the pixel quality, they can use the extra power at 720p for better AA. If the game is really simplistic in visual that it can run in 1080p with good AA (no/little pixel crawling and too much blurring) then it's fine.
Basically what I'm looking for are (somewhat in order) :
1.min 720p
2.stable and good enough frame rate (I can tolerate dips, especially for jrpg).
3.pixel quality (including good AA)
If they can achieve all of that and still have power to spare (which I assume can't be used to improve pixel quality) then they can start to up the resolution as long as point 2 and 3 don't change.

I assume they mean total memory as the console is likely going to be unified.
I guess no 12gb for console, 12gb is for dev kit, 8GB console + 4GB dev tools (for debugging).
Well it says
They probably mean 6(system) + 2(GPU) and 4(debug).
And why would anyone write "12GB de RAM". Sounds like certain person from Spain sent them info

it wasn't me
No you didn't, I know. Someone probably copied what BG posted month ago on forum and just ran with it. Its copy word for word.it wasn't me
Thats what spec sheet said.

Then... Fake?
I guess the person who posted it (or someone who sent it to him) was closely looking at forums and articles from more reliable sites and ran with it. Its pretty much well known fact that Durango is 8GB and 8 core CPU. There may be surprises, but everything points in that direction. Than there is BG's quote too...
Either he copied BGs post and other things from b3d, or someone with dev kit gave him the same info. Latter is less likely, although it could be since he specifically mentioned "Kinect 2 negotiating". Don't know the reason why anyone would make up stuff like that.
What about vgleaks.com? Are they "legit"? They must take care of what to post, verifying their sources.
I really don't know. I know they had Wii U dev kit shots first, and Durango dev kit but I'm not sure if they have their sourcse. They may get some info anonymously and than post it, so it is hard to track down. You can't just email big gaming site and say specs, you need to be "verified" source, but VGleaks probably don't ask who you are.
There was interesting bit on GAF today. One member mentioned having friend working on Durango.
