Rumors! Does Anyone Even Care?

With so many rumors going around these days it may OR may not make you wonder which ones are true. The most talked about ones are the iPhone 5, the PS4, the xbox 720, and some radical new design change to the 3DS. I don't know how it happened but people started to say the Microsoft will unveil a new system within the next year or 2. When I look at the state of the xbox 360 and not just the sales numbers but the design as well I would have to say that I believe this rumor is true. I'm not saying that its a bad system but it has its flaws. For one it doesn't use blu-ray discs which means that it doesn't have amazing visual quality like the PS3. The second thing is that I don't think that it has as much processing power as the PS3. I don't know if its just me but when I go from my PS3 to my xbox 360 it feels like the xbox is slower. You know what thought I think that the blu-ray thing is the biggest factor in why Microsoft would want to upgrade so much sooner than Sony. When you look at the PS3 you see a perfect system. I have seen a lot of fan boy videos for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 and the 360 fan boys always say the they can say whats wrong with their system yet PS3 fan boys cant say whats wrong with their system. That's because there is nothing bad to say about the PS3. That's pretty much why I think that Sony will wait to upgrade. With all that said I for once would like to see the xbox be better than the play satiation. I hate fan boys and I don't like to talk about anything that would spark a fan boy outrage but I understand brand loyalty and I just felt like all that had to be said.
I'm almost 100% sure that the iPhone 5 rumors are true. If I had to guess at a release date I would say the first 2 weeks in October and that's all I want to say about that.
As for the 3DS design change rumors I want them to be true but at the same time I don't. The rumor, if you haven't heard, goes that Nintendo is developing a second analog stick for the 3DS. It will come as an attachment for existing 3DS owners but eventually will be fully integrated into the system within the coming the year. Even though I do and don't want it to be true I think it will eventually happen. The main reason being is that it would open up a lot more possibilities for games because it would work more like a conventional home console controller.
