(Documentation for the feature Sony referenced in its clarification - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/vm.html )
Lets be honest. Sony could make this whole discussion go away quickly by saying, the OS uses 2GBs and games have 6GBs, but they haven't. They told Eurogamer, your terms are wrong. Sony hasn't attempted to offer correct numbers. What they did was clarify that there wasn't 1GB in play, therefore a set amount for the OS and a set amount for games, but games also had virtualized memory in the form of a disk cache.
An anonymous, non-credible, unverifiable source on GAF is not Sony responding. Sony has back channels, that are credible and verifiable that could respond to this article. They haven't. Sony is silent, their back channel sources are quite.
I don't get what is so bad about this that Sony just can't offer a quick, concise clarification to make this conversation go away. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. |
This rumor started spreading on friday. It's now sunday. Week-end. As in, people are off work. Yeah, it's the internet and it's easy and this kind of thing could be answered quickly in a few minutes. But the point still stands. I don't think it's the place of any nobody from inside Sony to come forward and issue an official statement on the matter.
Let the week start before crying about them not giving a proper answer and explanation.
And even if they don't give one right away, what's the big effin' deal?
I swear, gamers are the most self-centered and self-entitled crowd on the internet.

This. If they have to answer this rumour, the week-end isn't the most appropriate time to do it. If the rumours are totally or partially true, then answering them making things clear is the best thing to do, if they are totally false, the best thing will be to reaffirm the true specifications to stop the rumours, but without ever explicitly citing the rumours themselves and their creators.

I'm sorry, but it started on Thursday. They (Sony) commented on it yesterday (Saturday -- the weekend).
