""Thats false! It is likely that the PS4 will be out at a reasonable time and this has been discussed before.""

Well these people obviously think otherwise -

""Console developers must spend a lot of time making sure the game runs under 256mb of memory on the PS3 and optimizing the game to run faster on the closed box. As for PC hardware, its not that hard anyway. Most computers are in spec and there are a limited number of GPU, CPU and Chipset types."" -

Most are in spec, but spec is the bottom of the barrel. None of the bells and whistles. I agree 256 mb of RAM is difficult to overcome. But spending time to optimize on a closed box is absolutely not a disadvantage. In fact quite the opposite. Being able to optimize to a closed spec is a fantastic benefit.


""Look into the near future, the gtx280 has 580mm^2 and 1.3 billion transisitiors. As for mega bucks, you only need to spend $149 to get console level resolution. Lastly raw power doesn't make it look better, but it can help you greatly to achieve the art direction you want. "" -

So you can spend $150 dollars on a graphics card and get HD GoW graphics? What about RAM? What about CPU? What about HD speed? What about lots of stuff? LOL! LOL! LOL!

""Hehe, the retailers would have a fit about the no optical drive part! They make money off the games not the consoles. Actually as for SSD's I would predict that the Wii would get one before anyone else. It fits the design profile of the system if they can be bought cheaply enough. ""

Duh, and we would save money, or developers would make more money. Cutting out the middle man is never a bad idea. Not sure why you think the Wii would get one before anyone else. Doesn't make much sense. In fact none of the consoles will ever get one.
