Yeah, I don't exaclty get the whole point of the piece at all. Is he so naiive to think that Sony would get their engineers together to unlock a 7th core through a firmware update just so fanboys can toot on about it online.... 

Then he goes on to say PS4 architecture is nothing compared to a PC, of course but a PC doesn't have the benefit of a more or less static spec and then being developed for "to the metal". As we all know, which makes his point less objectively clear.... I mean, they can't be that easily compared.

I'm sure he is harmless enough though... after snooping! LOL

It doesn't make any sense though. The PS4 was always accepted as the most powerful console and the only reason there was any doubt was because of MS allowing developers to use the 7th core ... but if the 7th core doesn't make much difference for the PS4 then why was there any debate about power because surely the same conclusion should be drawn about the 7th core on the XB1, unless there's some bias ...
