ok. So then why didn't Sony's first party devs know about it either? I can barely justify not putting it in 3rd party dev kits... but you'd think Sony's internal studios would have known had it been in the works since the beginning.

OR does it make more sense that console development is an ongoing procedure where details are changed a lot. Hell, even WiiU hardware wasn't finalized until midway through 2012.

The only logical conclusion is that Sony decided relatively recently to go with 8GB. Then they decided to make that fact during their Feb20th event. Also fits in with the reason no actual console was displayed as its internals were being redesigned to double the ram which of course requires changes to its overall configuration.

Regardless of all of that... facts are that we knew the specs of PS4 many many months prior to its reveal. Just like we know neXtBox now.

I don't know anything of the NextXbox, not even the name. I can speculate, like you. But then, you were also someone that claimed neither the Nextbox nor PS4 would be much more powerful than the WiiU. Yeah, I kept up. ;)

Though if you end up right about the NextBox, I'll be sure to return here and credit accordingly.

My main point was always that the gap would be far closer than it was for Wii. Now, I did think they'd be closer than they actually are going to be, but it is still a FAR a smaller gap than Wii to PS360. So I was partially right... keeping in mind I stated this before anything was known on any system.
