Wow you're kinda misinformed there buddy! Nvidia's maxwell architecture has brought GPU power consumption back to where it should be and prices have actually gone down in real terms if you factor in inflation for the last 10 years. I think if Sony was willing to make a loss and make it up on the software they could have produced a real PC beater for $499. I would have bought one in a heartbeat. I can't speak for everyone because most people seem happy with a tablet CPU in their PS4s and have bought Sony's BS about having the 'world's most powerful console'. Yeah....and I won a dick measuring contest with a couple of midgets....great achievement there Sony! |
It's not really Sony that is the problem here, they had to be carefull not to make the same mistake as with PS3 and lot of people were expecting them to go even more conservative than that - on the other hand, for others, PS4 reveal was pretty much what was guesstimated (except for weaker CPU)
I keep mentioning EPIC and Samaritan again and again cause of how close EPIC was with MS - and they've clearly stated that Samaritan is 'love letter to hardware manufacturers" and that they need at least 2.5TFLOPS - subsequently, SVOGI had to be pulled out of UE4 after console reveal, so it seems that even they were a bit taken by surprise.
If MS decided to listen to them (like they have for X360), we would have one console that is what devs were asking/expecting and one console that is somewhat underpowered, but not terrbily so. Instead of that, we have two consoles that are underpowered, one less and one more.
