First off the PS4 is a PC in a console case.. They are not using high end parts or the PS4 would launch at 1000 dollars instead of 400/450 for the entry level and 500/ 550 premium.. They are using mid range parts.. anyone who understands pc architecture knows a high end pc will look amd run better...Essentiallynsony is admitting the Cell proessor was a mistake, they abandoned plans to use an updated Cell in the PS4... And now Sony fans can eat crow.. Last gen all you heard was 'Xbox is basically a PC' .. sony seems to have changed its tune after announcing in late 2012 that its lost nearly 6 Billion dollars and has had FOUR straight years of losses... Most Sony fans look at comsole numbers sold without realising just how much Sony has lost on the PS3.. The PS2 grew Sony to new heights.. The ps3 has even caused Sony to sell assets to raise cash to make this console happen..
There are alot of people that play consoles that know what PC architecture is.. I used to be a computer technician and built many computers for myself and friends...
just go read articles on the PS4.. You'll see in FACT the ps4 uses an X86 cpu! What does X86 mean? The x is a variable number that represent the evolution of Personal Computer (PC) Cpu's..... In example 15 years ago they might went from a 386.. To. 486.. Eventually they began putting an X where the first number went..
The PS4 uses an AMD x86 processor for the CPU.. Ive been using AMD ( advanced micro devices ) in my windows PC for over 10 years since Amd came out with the AMD athlon...
Anyone who doubts the ps4 is now using a PC cpu please go look up a PC at best buy .. Choose amd processor and look up archictecture... Further more the xbox will be using pretty close the the same GPU as the PS4- even made by the same company .. An ATI processor, which was bought out years ago by who....? AMD

I'm pretty sure that people saying Xbox was like a PC meant it in a way that most of its exclusives were on PC, or came to PC eventually...

For what it is worth, porting game code between the PC and the Xbox 360 will be a lot like Mac developers porting code between Mac OS X for Intel platforms and PowerPC platforms: there's an architecture switch, but the programming model doesn't change much. Essentially im saying the xbox 360 could easily be considered a Personsal computer.. Only the cpu in the 360 isnt x86, but the 360 could be ported to run windows just like macs were before apple switched to intel (x86 ) cpu's.... The ATI graphics chip used in the Xbox 360 got released for PC users in a slightly different shade ( R600) .. Ati graphics got bought by AMD ( who makes x86 chips and is Intels rival chip maker for PC's ).. So the ATI Gpu that was called the 'ATI Radeon' graphics card ( gpu ) is now called the AMD Radeon... And guess what?. Both the ps4 and Next Xbox both use the Radeon ( very close specs)... And the 360 used a radeon gpu before it was bought by AMD.. The 360 used the radeon gpu first.. And i always beleived thrm slightly better then nVidia ( used in PS3)... Sony must agree now as well because like the Xbox 360 and Next Xbox..the PS4 is using the Radeon as well....
One happy family now...?
