This is hilarious.

If it's true like Ethomaz said, that the Xbone APU is more expensive than the PS4 APU and will remain so over the whole generation, and yet the PS4 is 50% more powerful, now that must be seen as a serious engineering failure.

I'm so pissed off. How can they fail so bad?

I want xbone to be able to give PS4 a match, a good fight. Not become laughing stock.

It's that eSram. I have no idea which engineer thought it would be a good idea, but he should have been fired.  They should have stuck with tried and true eDram.  It wouldn't have been as fast, but it would solve a lot of issues.

Add to that the price difference of GDDR5 / DDR3 RAM and probably you'll get some kind of ballance.
