so basically sony builds a pc, puts a "ps"-label on the case and sells it as a console? well, why not. it reduces a lot of costs that you have to spend when you use very customized hardware and developers will be pleased, too. but it will push pc-gamers back into talk as they can directly compare their gaming-rigs with the ps4 but this matters only on gaming-forums :)

So essentially Sony is doing the MS approach to hardware specs.

which will of course result in the same approach as ms: an easy to develop console which i think is a very good idea, especially for getting liked by devs. ms can do whatever hardware they want if they maintain the good dev-software they provide which is a sure thing, in my opinion.
