Recommended Posts

that's not OXM.....that's some shitty Xbox magazine..OXM is much better.

 

 

OPM and OXM both are published by Future publishing...

 

I know, I have long time running subscription of both mags ;)

 

Xbox World is also published by Future, fyi. And PSM isn't official PS mag.

Sony officially debunks PS4 E3 rumours

 

Sony Computer Entertainment chairman Kazuo Hirai has flatly denied whispers of an imminent PlayStation 4 reveal.

 

Speaking to press at CES in Las Vegas, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, Hirai backed up recent comments from SCE Europe boss Andrew House.

“Andy (House) is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3,” he said.

 

“I’ve always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that.”

No PS4 at E3 2012- Kaz Hirai (AKA partypooper)

 

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-01-11-kaz-hirai-denies-ps4-announcement-at-e3-2012

 

Sony will not announce PlayStation 4 this summer at E3 2012.

 

Denial comes from the top: Kaz Hirai - overseer of the consumer half of Sony's business (including PlayStation).

 

"Andy [House - PlayStation boss] is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3," Hirai told the Wall Street Journal

Yesterday Sony shot down persistent rumors that the PlayStation 4 will be debuting at E3 later this year. Now a representative of cloud gaming company Gaikai is saying that the truth about the next generation of gaming consoles could be even more shocking.

 

Industry Gamers reports that Gaikai chief product officer Nanea Reeves commented on the future of gaming consoles during CES: "Not all of the current console makers will have one more generation. That will be the big news at E3."

 

Reeves provided no further clarification on these statements as far as Industry Gamers notes.

 

While this statement might seem surprising, it's worth keeping in mind that as a company focused on cloud gaming -- allowing consumers to play graphically high-end games on low-power computers by streaming them across the Internet -- Gaikai has a very strong interest in making people believe that the very near future of gaming lies somewhere other than a more powerful set of consoles that are still largely disc-based. As such, I'm going to take this prediction with a suitable grain of salt.

 

Gaikai has been working on cloud gaming technology since 2008 and is most known for the involvement of Shiny founder David Perry. If either Microsoft or Sony truly bow out of the console race, it will be the first time a major manufacturer has disappeared from gaming hardware since Sega discontinued the Dreamcast in 2001.

XBox Next/Xbox 720 chips in production

 

If you crave more info about the upcoming XBox 720/Next, there is finally some concrete info. The one nice thing about this job is that proud parents like to talk, and that is exactly where this story begins.

 

If you recall, when we last mentioned the XBox next GPU/GPU/APU chip called Oban, it had just taped out. That was 6 weeks ago or so, and one thing we said in the article was that the devs we queried before that was written all said, “No clue, haven’t heard anything from Microsoft about it yet”. Fair enough, and given the number of them saying the same thing, we rapidly came to the conclusion that there was no info floating. Microsoft had not done any external briefings yet.

 

So the article went up, and sure enough, in the days between the calls, emails, and door knockings, and when the article went up, MS briefed people. Luckily, Murphy never met Darwin…. Now everyone who should be briefed has been, but no one is talking about it. Darn. That said, they briefed devs almost to the day that the chip taped out, conveniently NDAing them at the same time. Coincidence?

 

Now for the new stuff. The XBox Next/720 Oban chip is in initial production. Sources at a foundry with a blue logo, confirm that Oban wafers started running in the final days of 2011. Sources on the other side of the continent in Redmond when questioned, said, “Who the f*&$ told you that? I am going to f#*&ing rip someone’s head off”. We at SemiAccurate take this as confirmation that the initial sources were in the right ballpark.
