No, at these specs PS4 IS NOT 2x more powerful than NextBox.


4gb GGDR5 completly destroys 8gb ddr3m it also suppose to have a better gpu.


Well, no. More is better, even if less is faster. And I am not a tech-guy, but that is what all the people told me way before these rumors start to pop up.
Anyway, rumors are rumors. This one is already busted by UbiSoft, which is by far the most credible source we have heard in a long time. Way better than HipHopGamer.

The funniest part in this thread was the guy calling M.U.G.E.N. a MS fanboy for doubting a rumor. That was priceless.

IMO the most credible source so far is the MS documents that were leaked some time ago that said they tried to make the XBox 3 about 6-8 times more powerful than the 360, which is fine for me. I just played Halo 4 and it looks just great to me, so giving devs 6-8 times more power to play with should be more than enough to create great gaming experiences.

4g GGDR5 is more expensive then 8bg ddr3, ddr3 is very slow ram, its good for os, apps and features, its not ideal for gaming, read the digital foundry article.

4gb ggdr5 >>> 8gb ddr3

Straight from a Ubisofts developers mouth

"In my opinion both machines will be very close, with some details in favor for each one, but I think we will have a ps360 situation again with 2 machines very close.

And some details in the articles are simply wrong"

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46551080&postcount=274


he went on to say that some very minor details are wrong, basically confirming the specs, another insider says named agieses works for polygon, going 8gb ddr3 is retarded move by microsoft, looking into the rumors there is no doubt in my mind ps4 will be more powerful because microsoft made scarifices for kinect and os.

When did he say that?

in one of his posts, he said the only thing i fear is microsft going with ddr3, which is becoming more and more likely, which is a retarded move IMO, if you search his history you can find it.

4gb ggdr5 >>> 8gb ddr3

Simple then,change to 6GB GDDR5 or 12GB DDR3(maybe+ed/esram)

Why you think MS will go lame+low RAM when their GPU will be 384bit?

because  rumors are saying this and developers are pretty much confirming. they chose ddr3 over gddr5 because they need the extra space of the os, kinect, and apps, its get the job done for what they wanna do, 8gb gddr5 would way to expensive make the system cost 599$ and still sale at a loss.

first of all i trust digital foundry, they have a good reputation, second of all, we have a developer confirming that both the specs fro durongo and orbis are pretty spot on, barring some minor details, i would love the next xbox to be a beast like the xbox brand always has been, but its not looking likely.

I'm not sure this is good news.

Sure, the PS4 will have better looking exclusives, but that means the console will be more expensive to purchase than the Xbox... in theory. If the Xbox is forced on us with the Kinect then it might even out.

ps4 might be about 20-40$ more expensive to make, they will be priced the same though.
