Potential Strengths/Advantages

This author has a lot of adavantages in which all the facts he have given are trustable, and reliable because they seemed to be supported with examples. I clearly believe what the author said that game consoles are becoming more like laptops itself having much more speed, and graphics. I also think that the title the author used is also an advantage because "Giant leap over current generation hardware", I think that this title really grab peoples attention including me.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

One main disadvantage that this author had is that, I think he would have found more information about these consoles in which I did a little part of my research and found a bit more about these consoles. Maybe I might be mistaken because some information out there could be fake. Another thing I found is that this site has a lot of advertisements so the article might been made up.

Discussion Questions

I would like to discuss this topic in class so badly because it ties to games and it will grab a lot of attention from the students in our class. I also would really like to know the real specs when it is going to be release because there is a possibility that these consoles might turn into a PC, which I find kind of cool, which the future game consoles like an Xbox will be able to play on the PC due to the mix and matches.
