Well, it may be true or not, but it no longer matters.

The truth is that Sony revealed it first and if MSoft has the same RAM, they will still look like the ones who changed their specs.

That's what happens when you try to be so secretive.

and? do you think anyone won't buy the console because of that? "ohh see, microsoft changed the specs to the better, i won't buy it anymore because they want to be competitive"

and if that would be true, that would go around on the internet as all the other rumours as well and everyone who believed until now that sony was first with that idea would then know it's the opposite. if it's true, we will hear that from some devs as well in the next months, if not, everything is like before and no gddr5.

And nothing. Only fanboys who fight over the net claiming that their console is better will care about this and use it in their favor.

For the rest it won't mean a thing. Heck! Ask someone on the street what GDDR5 is and 90% of the people won't know, and it won't affect their decision to buy the console or not.

well, then i have no clue why you said

"The truth is that Sony revealed it first and if MSoft has the same RAM, they will still look like the ones who changed their specs.

That's what happens when you try to be so secretive."

there are the people who don't care or don't even know what it is and then there are the forum people who read all the stuff and would read from different devs in the next months (after the reveal) that they could work with 8gb gddr5 since last year or so.

so, if it's true (which i doubt), everyone who cares about it will know anytime soon that microsoft didn't change it because of sony and those fanboys can't use that for their agenda anymore. so no, microsoft wouldn't be too late with it and nothing would happen from "being so secretive" like you claimed. nobody of those fanboys would think anymore that microsoft did it because of sony after reading some statements from ea or epic about it.

€dit: i think we have the same opinion about that, it doesn't matter who was first, important is the final product we will get at release and not what dev-kits developers had before the final dev-kit. i just didn't understand your first post when you also think like that.
