I read it perfectly well, consoles are specialized architectures, they can do more than an equivalent PCs, only reason you can't brute force then is because their resource is limited (wich is also true on PC, but you can simply choose to develop your game with super high specs as standard and screw anyone on the lower end of the spectrum out of it). Being easy or hard to actualy manage to harness the extra efficiency you can get with a closed specialized architecture has nothing to do with it, consoles allow for more tricks than an equivalent PC because its built to optmize te specs it has, a PC with PS4 specs (wich are low specs) cannot do UC4, its that simple.

Please, give us examples of the tricks you're talking about. =)

It's all about the API and OS frankly it is more streamlined than windows or DX, without making a fuzz out of it at that. Otherwise the PS4 specs are rather particular with it's 8gb GDDR5 all that bandwidth can be used when developing for PS4. I doubt any Dev on PC develops on GDDR based memory. Sure GDDR will work, but PC's in general work with DDR which is more practical but game wise GDDR is better. PC is and will stay a platform with multiple forms of hardware thus superoptimisation like this is the trick to make the order or UC4 on weak hardware and make it run steadily.
