I hope you also remember when your PS1, PS2 and PS3 games didn't take as long to develop and thus weren't as expensive to make as they are this gen, get over yourself.

It was Sony that held conferences priding themselves on how easy the PS4 is to develop for, several times easier than the PS2 and PS3.  You make a comment that's completely untrue to put Playstation on this pedestal like all previous gens did this.  When I point it out, you make another untrue apologetic comment.

Lol, and you think the shorter time to triangle is going to mean shorter dev times? When games all need higher resolution textures, more effects, better character models, animations and all that stuff. The easier architecture of the PS4 is great for porting games and it naturally also helps ground up PS4 development, but overall it will still take longer and be more expensive to make new games this gen, which is also something that was straight up said by Sony.
