Now it just needs to be announced.


Exactly. But it seems MS is not going to hurry - I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't surprised by PS4 specs so they seem to be quite comfortable by now. 


they werent suprise by the specs per say but the audacity of sony to anounce the 8 gigs.  now sony egineers have 9 months to make it happen.  lol sony got 8gb lol... there are 32gb ddr3 mbs for under $200

Could you reword that please, I'm finding it difficult to find a discussion point in there.

DDR3 is cheap as chips and won't be used for the graphics memory pool on the NextBox, the fact it's cheap as chips is therefore not relevant. It may be used for system memory but it's very unlikely to be used for graphics RAM, ok not out the question but still very unlikely. If it were the case, then the PS4 would be more than slightly faster - it would be much faster.

The PS4 spec will have been finalized ages ago, "Sony engineers", nope - It will be engineers at a foundry that will "make it happen". Think IBM engineers and the TMSC foundry.

We can obviously take this comment from Ryan Payton to be alluring to the PS4 being more powerful, bit of a shame really because the power of the PS4 is basically an established fact of being a massive leap forward, if he was talking about the NextBox being more powerful, it means consumers would have something even faster to play with :)

 

...I'm just being greedy though.
