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.
