| Scisca said: When it comes to keeping the price equal with a much stronger HW on PS4, maybe the difference is in the fact that MS is (or at least was) rummoured to include Kinect 2 together with the next X-box? We'd get a Kinect vs. better specs for the same price. I know which one I'd go for... There is not a single Kinect game I'm interested in. |
Ya, true but the specs are so lop-sided to favor the PS4, it seems too good to be true/fanboy's made up wet dream. I can believe if one console is 50% more powerful than the other but when rumors start popping that PS4 might use an 8-core Jaguar (tablet/netbook CPU) and then we get a conflicting rumor that states it will actually be the AMD's performance CPU (aka Bulldozer), that's so dramatically different that you are talking about completely different levels of performance. It's like comparing a Ferrari 458 to a Subaru BRZ. Because of this huge discrepancy in level of performance being thrown around, I am guessing half of these rumors are made up BS. The interesting part is these consoles seem to getting more powerful the closer they get to launch. Like first it was leaked they might have HD6670/7670 style GPUs and now we are all the way up to HD7970/8800 GPU rumors. And then we even get outrageous claims of 4K gaming, ray-tracing and all kinds of 'secret modules' sauce :). Yet when developers are saying MS/Sony are moving a lot closer to off-the-shelf barely custom PC parts, the idea of crazy custom secret sauce parts that increase Tflops from 1.3Tflops to 3Tflops by some 'magic' just contradicts the general direction the console makers are moving -- ease of porting/optimization, lower components costs, make consoles more affordable.
