I have to give credit to Sony trying, with that nice graphics card and all. But the massive latency in GDDR5, when the CPU tries to use it as regular ram, seems like they pulled another ‘cell blooper’ all over again. Not talking about a little latency either, but 7-10 times DDR3.

Why don't you enlighten this tech semi-ignorant peasant that doesn't know the advantages of both type of ram(DDR3 & GDDR5) over each other in a closed and optimized gaming platform.

Think of it as like putting a big engine in a car, then putting in a weak transmission.  The limiting factor of the transmission will limit the acceleration. 

Or a giant big stadium, where there is just two small doors to get inside.  Everyone has to wait in long lines to get in an out of the stadium.  Plenty of room inside, but a pain to get in and out.

It's the old saying, "A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.  As if that fails, it doesn't matter how hard strong the rest of the chain is."



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

What impact is that gonna have on the system given that PS4 will be heavy on an extra OS that will run multiple tasks(video chat, web browsing and video streaming) probably at the same time?

You don't use it, so it's brainwashing if I do? How does this begin to make sense? People multitask all the time man. Even you I'm sure.

What's brainwashing is how you just take this feature Microsoft is throwing at you and think its incredible useful when that feature has been around forever in PCs, which can multitask just fine, and the feature never gets used. No one has two windows open side by side. Its completely useless. 

Of course I multi-task. For example right now I have 2 tabs open in Chrome. Why not 2 windows? Because its not possible for me to be doing 2 things at once. Multi-tasking is the ease of which you switch between apps, not doing 2 at the same time.

Wait, what?! I thought they were going to only have 1 gigabyte for the entire operating system.  At least while the game was running. 

It would be exacerbated by trying to do more things.  Are they really trying to make it exactly like an Xbox One?

Youtube( or IGN) PS4 UI. I thought the same thing.

Hahaha people getting mad over an opinion, who cares seriously.

I ordered both a PS4 and Xbox One but decided to drop the PS4 order and wait. Just getting the Xbox One for now.

Oh, golly, you are right.

And looks like trophies are turning exactly into gamer score. 

Even the Facebook like. 

The interface  so much looks like Windows 8 with added Pinterest.  I don't know what to say anymore.  Well, I think they are going to have some new annoucements.  I don't think they have confirmed that '1 gb' operating system. 

I think there will be some more fireworks and surprises during this next gen launch!

You forgot $100 price difference, since both consoles are pretty similar price is a huge advantage for the PS4 (Kinect is not worth 100$ in my opinion and at least should be optional)

Can you name a piece of hardware that functions like(or better than) Kinect 2.0 and it is cheaper than it?


by your logic we should have a segway
