| MonstaMack said: There is no two ways about it: This is bad news for PS4 owners, and worst for people who use PS4 Ram as ammunition for XB1 vs PS4 arguements. True, your system has better ram but the amount is a lot less drastic. Now it just comes down to the games, a slightly more powerful processor and being $100 cheaper. |
Bad news for the people who kept going, "LULZ TEH PS4 HAZ 7 GIGZ OF RAMZORS! SUCK IT!". Certainly. Those people will say anything anyways and pretty much none of them know what they're talking about. Bad news for PS4 owners in general? Hardly. If this is true it simply means that both consoles have the same amount of a bunch of RAM that pretty much all developers will be hard pressed to use even in the next few years. Consider that we're currently getting games like Halo 4 and The Last of Us on consoles that have only half a gig of RAM. Now try to tell me that not having more than 5 gigs of RAM is bad news. Not to mention any Xbox fan that says so needs to realize they are simultaneously talking down their own console. If true, this would also mean that Sony has a ridiculously robust OS that would likely rival whatever Microsoft is doing to require that much RAM for its own.
The PS4 may end up having a more powerful processor when it's all revealed and we know for a fact that the GPU is more powerful. That's not what needs to be considered though. What's going to be more important this generation will be who gives the better overall experience. That's pretty much the way it's always been. For the three generations prior to this upcoming one, the winner was not decided by power but by games and how well it hooked people. Did it matter that the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were inferior to their competition? No. They smoked the competition. Was the Wii horribly underpowered in its time? Most definitely but it blazed a trail and left Sony and Microsoft scratching their heads.
What we all need to remember is that we're all gamers and when companies compete like this we all win. We also need to remember that, just like this past generation, just because you didn't sell the most consoles doesn't mean you weren't amazingly successful.
