| Landsharkk said: The approval from dev's is totally expected. I mean which dev would be upset about the PS4 adopting x86 architecture over the old cell stuff? Sony: "Ps4 will have x86 architecture and will be developer friendly!" Microsoft: "Hi, have you heard of the Xbox 360? The console that's been around for 7 years and is baesd on the x86 architecture?" Also, this: http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/05/20/e3-2005-microsofts-xbox-360-vs-sonys-playstation-3 I own game devices from many platforms, but in my opinion Sony with the PS4 is just playing catch-up. Microsoft is extremely capable of stomping all over the PS4 specs with their next Xbox. Although that doesn't really matter in the end, mostly it's developer friendly that they need and Microsoft has had that for the past 7 years. Again, Sony is just playing catch-up. |
The sources that were right about PS4s rumours also say the Nextbox doesn't support used games, is always online and requires Kinect, has 8GB DDR3 ram and is 1,2 TFLOPs.
The only advantage MS had was its ease of use for devs and it loses that advantage with PS4. Microsoft will have a hard time now that the PS4 offers the same developer friendly environment. Devs like Jonathan Blow was not even approached by Microsoft and he's making The Witness (timed) exclusive entirely out of goodwill to Sony with no money involved
