| Joelcool7 said: Shinobi I am truly confused. You think my approach of Sony releasing a powerful but cheap console avoiding direct competition with Nintendo and MS is a had approach. But you also suggest Sony investing a ton in innovating is also bad. You also suggest Sony is in a lose lose situation. As for running Samaritan the engine will require 10x the power of the 360 and neither WiiU and likely next box will be able to run it in that form. Sony could run the engine at its default requirements and that alongside the lack of Kinect and a tablet would have the hardcore classic gaming market secure. Then Sony could put a Mic on The Dual Shock giving it voice controls similar to Kinect. Sony could add a small touch pad on the rear of the controller like the one on Vita. Sony could innovate the current Dual Shock adding unique features. Thus giving Sony a unique controller and the hardcore classic market. Sony will not get anywhere trying to take on Nintendo or Microsoft directly. A tablet would he foolish and a Kinect like EyeToy. Sony's best chance is to avoid a direct conflict by ensuring its platform is unique. While Microsoft puts a touch screen on their controller and Nintendo uses a tablet Sony releases a super powered Dual Shock. By the way this is far from short sighted. Directly competing with Microsoft and Nintendo has failed with PS3 and PSP. Sony has realized they can't compete in a direct conflict with both PSOne and PS2 Sony not only had a technological edge (CD and DVD) they had a head start (Early launch) plus their cheaper Dec costs gave them a huge third party support advantage. But PS3 proved when you remove the cheap Dec costs and head start the console just doesn't have much of a chance. Selling it at a loss shows again that they can't go that route again. Your right that Unreal4 cannot save the PS4 on its own, the higher Dec costs could adversely effect the console. |

what exactly does that mean though? does it mean like everything all around?
the only thing i know about is Ram so if we were talking RAM it would need atleast 5.12 GB of ram to run the demo INCLUDING 10x the GPU and CPU?
i guess the PS4 having 6GB of RAM WOULD be good after all ;)

no, that would actually be a good move for Sony
Sony needs to have what the competitors have to make sure they dont get left behind in those areas
you seen the rumours about microsoft working on their own tablet to combat the Wii U tablet so they wont get left behind in that area right? lol
you see Nintendo going for the 3rd party support so they wont get left behind in that area right?
Sony will do the same thing
but this doesn't mean that they cant innovate while doing it :)
