| thismeintiel said: Upsetting devs before launch is definitely not the way to go for a company that was already behind in the game this gen. And being able to brag about 10% more power won't help them win those devs back. Also, great revisionist history. MS was the one who got caught with their pants down last gen, too. Not even thinking to put a sharing feature in there system until Sony announced it. Also, Sony announced 8GB of RAM at the PS4's announcement event in Feb 2013, months before MS announced the XBO. 8GB had nothing to do with MS, and everything to do with the price of GDDR5 falling. |
You assume its only going to be 10% difference, we wont know until release. Upsetting devs is nothing new in the world of gaming. If devs want to make money and sell there product to the masses than they need to accept and adapt to the hardware makers. This happens every gen and also outside of gaming.
Insiders claimed the OG PS4 was weaker than the OG XB1, Sony upped there specs the moment inside information was leaked. They changed there Ram from 4gig DDR3 to 8gig of GDDR5 the moment they found out the base X1 was 8gigs DDR3, Sony also pulled there PS Camera down the moment they heard the flack of Kinect 2.0.
Just because a company announces something earlier means little. These companies find out what there competitors are doing way before announcements are made. Figured you would know better than that.
