So what do you suggest "we" as "gamers" do about this? Boycott and buy Wii U's?

You are forgetting the advantages of the new and improved feature packed Kinnect 2.0 which will be the key marketing force behind the X1.

Playing in favor of Publishers who fear piracy and used games may work in MS's favor big time. They already have the advantage (given to them by Sony's big blunder with the PS3) of a massive loyal audience of COD, BF, Halo, Madden, Activision, and EA sports fans who will have no idea going into...

5GB for games has been confirmed Digital Foundry's Xbox One Spec analysis http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-spec-analysis-xbox-one

The market ms is targeting theoretically should net them more "ca$h" than catering to a niche core market. This target audience won't know or care about the issues raised here. I believe MS It's under the belief that with the Kinect they can succeed where Nintendo failed with the Wii-mote.

No it doesn't. The Wii U will receive terrible looking ports. That system is just a showcase for Nintendo first party games and I believe Nintendo knows it and doesn't care. If Microsoft can manage to keep it's console's title as platform development lead then Microsoft should be fine.

Oh wow... It will be interesting to see what the disparity between multi-platform games is like, especially ram dependent titles such as gta (6?).

Where was that confirmed ?

GDDR5 at lower capacity tends to out preform DDR3 at higher compacity. http://forum.51nb.com/viewthread.php?tid=1216176 Resident Evil 5 (PC) Nvidia GT650M with DDR3 2GB ---- Resident Evil 5 (PC) Nvidia GT650M with GDDR5 1GB

If you notice MS completely avoided getting into a hardware spec war with Sony this time around unlike the unveiling of last generation of consoles. MS completely focused on features, services, and content.

Yes, the complaints about cell led Sony to pick a more common architecture as they have stated back in February. Both systems are using the same AMD tech used in Common PCs. MS just choose cheaper DDR3 ram and an AMD GPU with less shader power again by no accident.

No, The 360 and PS3 case was very different. The 360 actually had a stronger GPU than the PS3. In PS3's court the cell processor was very powerful and could do graphical work. This advantage if used properly would alleviate a lot of the work off the system's GPU bringing it up to parody with the...

Microsoft is aiming for a very particular and very profitable market of gamers... A market who doesn't care about hardware specs and buys the same titles over again every year. The general concenus at Beyond3D was that Microsoft choose cheaper GPU and RAM (DDR3 is very cheap opposed to GDDR5)...

Initially yes but upon a closer look no Xbox one: 8gb DDR3 ram and 12 shader core GPU PS4: 8gb GDDR5 ram and 18 shader core GPU In bold are big key differences. What remains to be seen is how much of each console's ram is dedicated to developers over the always on system OS. Also this...
