PS4 looks like the perfect gaming machine.

Unreal Tournament 4 on PC/PS4 is all I want from Epic ;)
The perfect gaming pc for people who cant afford a perfect gaming PC.

I never said that. Power is very important as in the case with the Wii, it missed out on many many great games due to the lack of power.
He made a good point about the 32bit vs 64bit. Even though a good percentage of PC owners have Windows 7 which is predominately 64bit, as far as I know, all PC games are 32bit executables which does restrict memory addressing to a max of 4GB. Was just searching the web to see if there is such thing as a Crysis 3 64bit EXE. I don't think there is. Though Crytek recommend a PC with 8GB, this would ensure the EXE gets a full 4GB with Windows having access for the rest. But I would think if any developer makes a cross platform game, most likely it will be native 32bit because of PC legacy.
Interesting point though. Does this mean in theory, that PS4 and 720 games could always be compiled in 64bit which equates to the full memory being adressible? This was all irrelevant with the last consoles since RAM was so small.
I think in the PS4, there will be a reserve or portion of the 8GB GDDR5 for the system; who knows, maybe 2GB, but I think it is safe to assume that gaming on the PS4 can access more than the 32bit limit of 4GB.
Hmmm, I wonder if this means that Sony's check cleared....
Stop hating and start playing.
I liked reading that interview. Rein knows what he's talking about.

Well. I wouldn't worry too much about the article. It has some wrong facts in it.
For instance how it states that most windows machines are 32bit, is actually false.
Look at the Steam statistics, 55% of gamers that use Steam are 64bit, hence the majority are 64bit gamers.
95% of machines actually have a 64bit capable system, so a new OS would solve that problem.
If you were to take into account Netbooks, HTPC's, Office machines, then sure the statement holds true, but then again, you aren't exactly going to run a game like Crysis 3 on those. :P

Not at all. The perfect gaming PC for people that want to play games like Uncharted, GT and a whole lot of other exclusive games that will never be on a PC and at the same time play pretty much every decent PC game that will be on the PS4.
Also having a far larger online community with games like COD that sells millions on PS and only a "handful" on the PC. "Handful" is used relatively.
Yeah, I would say that it is the "perfect gaming PC".
