Well, if it's true about both the PS4 and 720 having so much in common and both being easy to program for, then it's great news for the gaming industry. Game development, especially early on, should be quicker, with even more time and resources being saved on multi-plats. That should make everyone happy.
Still, can we really expect both systems to use basically the same hardware? That seems a bit hard to believe.
The OS situation will be interesting to watch. I have a feeling Microsoft is aiming at something complex with a ton of non-gaming functionality. Also, Sony, not being software driven like Microsoft, always seems to muck things up on that side somewhat, so I'm not entirely sure it's going to be as simple to program for as it should. It concerns me somewhat that the PS4 is rumored to only have 4GB of RAM but not if the 720 has an OS that sucking up a ton of system memory.
A lot of questions still to be answered.
Also, I would love to hear what is happening with the Wii U, if games in development for the PS4/720 are also being developed for Nintendo hardware. E3 is going to be so interesting this year.
