Oh, didn't know that. How does this interfer with game-music? Is the game-sound disabled then?

You need to turn off the Game Music only but the game sound and effects will be fine... that's what happened when I tried with the 30 days trial... I can't do more tests because I won't subscribe to the Music Unlimited.

Well play music uses so little CPU that I can't see it making so much differece in the OS resources.

The browser runs while gamimg too... I tried to open a page and continue to play so when I shifted to the browser the page was fully loaded... so it is not like the browser stoped until I put it in foreground... it was running and processing the page while I was playing.

Yes, and that's exactly what you expect from a Next-Gen System. You don'T want to wait, you want your stuff instantly. Now even Sony themselves can't possibly know what kind of apps will come in the future, but just for the sake of speed, they will want to reserve enough resources for the system. They did that very well with Vita. To be quite honest, the PS4 has some catching up to do compared to the Menu of the Vita.

Anyway, as I said, 2 Cores for the system are quite reasonable in this day and age. After all, the system is supposed to be around until 2020 or so. The RAM could come down to 1 GB or something like that though. We'll see.
