That's the reason I mentioned the blur , just goes to show that creating a more powerful console brings new problems to solve. sure your extra power gets rid of PS1 type pixilation but you end up having to deal with aliasing problems bought about by increased fidelity ,so you have to work out solutions to the new problems, usualy this type of R&D means improvements in the future except on this occassion they used vasaline.
The other subject talked about in this thread ,in regards to the most powerful console not winning .I tend to think it is more like early console catches the games and audience and the PS4 is unique in the fact that yes it was more powerful but the difference is it happened to come to market at around the same time as the Xbone,

Wii was in a similar position, in that like PS4 it launched a year after one competitor and around the same time as the other.

The reason Sony lets the nut job run it like its his own fiefdom is it basically is, Polophony unlike the other studios is not subject to Sony world wide studio control, the reason being it is a fully owned subsidury with it's own board and operating capital , Kaz is President as well as head of the 3 man board ,it's also the reason that unlike any other studio you get sales numbers direct from the Polophony website.

So is it like the pokemon company with Nintendo?

There are some differences, for instance gamefreak owns, iirc 50% of the pokemon company , where as Polophony is fully owned by Sony, but for reasons I'm not to sure of it was a long time ago, they decided to create Polophony as a subsidury rather than a studio, most likely to help insure Kaz's continued involvement since GT was his baby , and you have to remember it was the PS1 era, so Sony's need to build up successful Ist party IP's to augment it's 3rd party efforts on a new console meant they had a premium and when you have one with sales right up there with the biggest names in gaming, why it became a subsidury becomes clearer.
sorry about that must have clicked multi quote . do you know how i stop it.
