Yeah no. Sorry bud.


well Sony pulled that back in 2005 once...it isn't far fetched if you see what the RAM actually costs

Yeah you're too obvious.

They pretty much released a list of all the specs. They're final.


Then why would Tretton come out and say otherwise?? This doesn't make any sense...maybe they are aware that a console with 8 gig GDDR5 would cost too much...look at their stock! They are investors who are afraid of the ps4 to be the ps3 all over again!

And by too obvious I mean you're obviously only wanting the best for Sony!


You mad cause it might be true? I have an OP as stated in my statements earlier but that doesn't mean I doom-say Sony...

That are just fact that I listed:

1. Their stock went down
2. Tretton said that
3. a lot of poeple think that putting 8 gig GDDR5 RAM is not a great idea regarding the price

I'm just stating facts but you are talking about my supposed hate for Sony which I can't understand tbh

The ram is not the only thing vital to change, there are many other components that are under development. Why would people think that the Ram is going to change when they already publicly promised it. Breaking a promise would only hurt them, and they are out to improve their image with developers and possibly gamers.

The only thing I can see from this announcement is that they wish to tell their competition that they can still modify their console to be competitive with any changes in technology and trends. So Microsoft better watch what they reveal because Sony can come up with some way to "fight" against it. (It did say that the company is at war)

Ya, realistically neither Sony nor MS will be able to change anything major in their consoles unless they want to delay their release, which would be a big mistake.  

But, I agree that it seems more like a stunt to make it seem like they can change if they need to counter MS.

I guess stuff like "It will run linux" and "it will be backwards compatible" comes to mind. But those were not in 2005. What happened in 2005? I'm also curious.

 

Pulling the 8GB to 4GB would not upset the developers so much as they have already been working only with 4GB. I myself thing the 8GB is not even necessary. Don't even think there the developers will be able to use much more than 4GB (they usually don't in PC games even when pushing it to the max).

Reducing it to 4GB would actually be a good move for sony. Only fanboys could actually think otherwise.

are you speaking of the same developers that sony thenselves said they increased the RAM to 8 gigs for?( who were after the conference declaring their satisfaction with the RAM ) or other developers we've never heard of?

one thing i must say though is that your concern for sony is touching lol

yeah I meant they announced stuff on E3 2005 and canceled it in 2006... sorry for the confusion ;)

The specs are very imprecise so there's actually quite a bit of room for changes.

Do you understand the concept of diminishing returns? I guess you would be one of the fanboys I mentioned if you don't care about that.
