This was known from the beginning. Why is this news?


No, it wasn't. Especially not the amount of ram.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-ps3-system-software-memory

Look at the date. The amount of RAM for games and flexible memory was known from the start.


What about the time between reveal and the article? This is were the other assumptions came from...

I thought this cleared up the assumptions. It was quite a big deal back then so I thought this news has already reached most people.

It's not like anyone tried to hide it, seeing how they made a statement well before the release of the console.

Actually Sony did try to hide it.  Sony only made a statement once the article from Eurogamer broke.  Before than, it was forum post after another where people were going postal that MS had the gall to reserve, CPU, GPU and memory outside of games.

When Sony had to come out and confirm they do the same thing, people seem to change their toon and call it smart, intelligent and future proof the console.

In reality it really should not have mattered to gamers.  Gamers always see technical problems as one narrow beam.  If its not helping my game experience it must be bad unless its from the corporation I love the most.
