I don't think all that bandwith jibberish will bring any major changes. At least when I upgrade my PC with a better graphics card, the differences are massive. But if I buy some faster RAM, I don't see any difference at all.

I just don't see how that tiny eSRAM should make any difference. Sure, it's not a bad solution, but neither is GDDR5. It's both good enough. But the PS4 still has the better GPU. I mean, come on. Even if the Xbone might have the upper hand in some weird areas nobody gives a crap about, overall the PS4 is still faster. Does that simple fact really hurt so much?

I know that I didn't care that the Xbox was faster than my Gamecube back in the days. They were on the same level, that's all what matters to me, I couldn't care less about some more fps, a higher resolution or some details I will never look at anyway. Sure, I'm buying the PS4, but certainly not because of the hardware. It's all about the games and Sony just has more games that interest me.

Man, I'm beginning to understand Ninty fans. Just screw all that hardware crap, get a console everyone knows it is slower and just play some games. Memory bandwith, dGPU, secret sauce, NDA, what the hell. You're not stopping until every person on the internet says that Xbox One is faster, are you? I'll ask again: Why is it so goddamn important to you?

There's no use in trying to bicker him. He won't be able to listen to reason when he himself understands absolutely nothing about hardware. We all know that tiny ass ESRAM won't fix the bandwidth issue but that doesn't matter since the xbone already has the weaker hardware to accomodate the lower badnwidth. I don't think the ESRAM is supposed to be used as a main memory but just an extended form of cache. I mean just exactly what are devs gonna do with 32mb ? Agreed on that last part of how hardware will mean less in trying to be a market leader.
