I called it!! But Sony needs to put a comment out there before this gets uglier.

What's Eurogamer's track record on these things now? LIke 0 in 6?

I am sure that i am not on your "buddy" list.  And i am sure that i must have been right otherwise you would have proven me to be wrong(even though you admit that you are not sure if you ever said that).  But, whatever.  Still doesn't change my actual point.  Most of the fanboys change the subject or say "prove it" if someone has a different OPINION than their own.

You are wasting your time :)

I love all these "prove it" replies from PS/Xbox fanboys who seem to have issue assuming what they support or like...
To me, they do that just because they feel it will give more credibility to their posts, like "oh I'm not a PS4 fans, so when I say the Xbox One sucks it is perfectly credible and certainly not because I dislike it" :)


To be fair when someone says "you were making ____ posts" then it's on them to give proof.  Proving that I didn't post something would require that I show you every post I ever made while proving that I did only requires showing one.  Having proof for when you call someone out with a specific claim is absolutely what you should be doing.  

Cannot argue with that. Did not use the best exemple to make my point but I believe a lot of Xbox/PS fans seem to be afraid of being seen as a fanboy (or even a loyalist) like it is hurting in any way their credibility.

I can vouch for him; I haven't seen him post anything like that on these threads. Perhaps it's the sig that led him to make that comment.

Our worst fears have been realized:

Better play it safe, reserve memory for OS now and free it up later if they can.

Look what happened to PS3: gave away too much memory and the console was forever stuck without cross game chat due to this.

Sony is playing safe with PS4, surely they might free up some extra memory for games in the future.

They just did not let 7GB right now because no developer needs that much now so they can release more RAM in future if there is a need and when the system is matured the OS and everything will be optimized to release more RAM. Also sony intendeds to a lot of multi task here and they wish one second resume from suspend of PS4 which is possible only if we store all the content opened in RAM which is like Sleep in PC's.

In a year or two more RAM will be available for developers when they need right now they don't need 7GB so sony wanted to be future proof for now.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

The Eurogamer article was supposed to go up last night, but they decided to wait for Sony to comment. They posted the article today, without Sony's comment. Ign posts that same story as a rumor. Sounds legit.
