I think xbox 720 is just a name given by the media, I don't think MS has released an official name yet.

I don't understand what is underwhelming or disappointing.  A 6 fold increase in performance from the predecessor seems pretty impressive to me.

The video card is the AMD version of the updated 8800GT (240 series nowadays).  That is underwhelming.

Oh... I didn't read that or realize it, I guess.

It's all rumors until MS eventually says it.

They are selling short with a six fold increase, there is no reason they cannot do better.

their "new card" isn't even as good as the Wii U. They should be offering their customers something new, a reason other then a new name to buy a new console.

Nobody can equate "six times more powerful" to any meaningful
level of performance. Numbers don't mean anything; and a console
isn't a PC - it doesn't need as high of specs for as good of results.

Really?  How is that?
