Let me try to clarify my last comment. They already streamlined the consoles. That's what consoles are, extremely streamlined PCs. Consoles have the same parts a PC does, except for the full blown OS. You're making no sense whatsoever, because consoles already are what you're asking for. The next Xbox will have 2-4 GB of memory and far more powerful CPU and GPU. So they're doing what you want, otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

@HTHAMMACK1

They only started using PC components to a degree starting with last gen.

@mrimover18forsuremhm the exclusive titles are almost the only games worth playing. On the PC you get shooters and elder scroll ( I play those on my PC as well ) But everything else like God of War, Uncharted, Gears of War, Halo, Star Hawk, Grand Turismo and many many more you don't get... If not for those games i wouldn't touch any computer.

@Lunatic0001 LOl, this is exactly how things are. In Russia every kid under 14 years who owns the PC does this. You guys from so called civilized countries are so retarded in some points. No offense )

man u right on point with what ur saying its almost like they making a next gen console with last gen parts and the only reason i can see them doing that is for a profit i hope its just speculation but u never know these days hope some higher ups see ur vid becuz they need to if they going to push that BS out gr8 vid tho l8r

@mrimover18forsuremhm It's what most people I know have these days, so I don't see it as being special at all.

@mrimover18forsuremhm The only thing that I don't see being over twice as fast is the ram speed, but the amount of ram you have is double so hey still counts ;).

@AgentCell What's even worse is that Microsoft gave people the illusion that they were getting a cheap console. They sold Xbox 360s without wifi cards, tiny HDDs and the xbox 360 with all that stuff added would pretty much be the price of a PS3. they pretty much fooled consumers with the illusion that they were getting a cheap console because of the initial price.

the x51 is 699$ for the least specs, and 1149$ for the beast specs that runs the biggest game such as Battlefield 3 at its highest specs, Final fantasy at its maxed settings, skyrim and so on
