no it is based on internal docs and they wanted to support that further.

So they need to write a new article saying that lol

Because the "current docs" is the old devkit docs lol

That's what I read in the DF article lol... they are talkin about the docs found in the devkit used to the Killzone demo lol

It is not too hard... I'm just reading the article.

If the docs changed or not I don't know... maybe the docs in the new devkit are the same.

4.5 GB GDDR5 of ram for games? Honestly even this is too much considering it's GDDR5 and not DDR3. I don't think devs (specifically multi platform devs) would have taken advantage of the so called "7 GB ram for games" so it would have just been a waste. Better to put some more on the OS to make it super quick. 3.5 GB of GDDR5 for the OS this thing is gonna be lightning speed lol!

Your initial response is funny, seeing as you blatently talk BS about how the PS4 was so much better than the XBone in your many posts in other threads. But when it is reported that the PS4 has less available ram than the XBone, it is now not needed and will make the system even faster? I'll end up with both systems, but the sheer fanboy responses to this information is quite humorous. I am sure over time, like i have said in other threads, that Sony will announce or put more focus on their abilty to do almost everything that M$ has been pushing about the XBone. Sony went after headlines and internet buzz by talking up only certain aspects of their machine. The only difference that we will end up seeing is that M$ is forcing Kinect and Sony went for the lower price point by dropping the PSeye. Now Sony can't talk up voice controls and motion gaming as standard features. For the core gamers, Sony went after the "games are what matters", and it worked perfectly.

But it is...Also I don't recall ever explicitly saying PS4 is much more powerful/better than the Xbox One. Maybe I did, can you give me some examples?
