Im calling it now. People that focus on graphics and specs will ultimately be disappointed come launch of the next consoles.


I agree things are so rampant now people are setting themselves up for a fall in that regard.

ps4 is basically a 10x jump, 720, looking liek 7-8x jump, developers saying we will see a huge jump in graphics at launch, unless there expecting to rival a powerful pc, we should be happy.


No offence mate but you're coming across as an extremely gullible person right now. Do you know why people are telling you that these rumours are wayward and contradicting? They're coming from people who most likely are passing on second/third hand information with out knowing the actual tech directly, these sources are often people in a company who have no direct involvement with the devkit and might over hear something or get vague information off a friend who may be involved. For one these are devkits which means the retail models will have half the ram and you contradicted yourself here, I'm a PC gamer as well and right now the top PCs are around 10x the jump of the PS3, this is when using full HD assets like today. That 10x jump is you expecting it to rival a PC hence why I agree with Maelstrome people are setting themselves up for a fall.

Those perfomance numbers we keep getting in rumours don't tell you the actual performance and jump when running something at 1080p and 60fps they may just be simple tests for all we know. Even 6x the jump of the 360 is questionable and being optimistic, 360 and PS3 tech only became financially viable two or so years ago, a jump of even 6x will be murder trying to balance finances and that's before we get to Kinect taking up resources and Sony said to be going for a tablet controller.

ignore the infromation that we have if you like but the ps4 is easily gonna be an 8 x jump, already heard from several developers stating the samething.
