If MS switches to GDDR5 now, did Sony make a silly mistake?

Design for both consoles was fixed a LONG time ago. Two years or more. It isn't something that can be swapped out, validated, and put into mass production in six months.

Secondly, when has a single spec ever decided the fate of a console?

and with that said, games have already been optimized for each console, so any changes now...........just read what soleron said.

secondly. never. not to mention, the most powerful console, has never won the war. things look to change on that front.

Wasn't the Super NES more powerful than the Genesis? Yep, thought so!

But wasn't as powerful as the TURBO-GRAFIX.....so Yeah.

Which played no direct role in that generation. That's like bringing up the 3DO vs the CD-i.

someone needs to do some research, turbo graphics was way less powerful than the SNES and the genesis.  The genesis came out 2 years before the SNES, so it being slightly less powerful is actually impressive.  The SNES was not powerful for a 1991 console
