Yeah, I do not see Sony talking about 2 generations with Disk Drive issues for the PS1 and 2 or the YLOD issue with the PS3. Reducing the original PS3 from having full BC to none, Removing all the additional USB and other ports, removing having other OS etc. That crap is in the past and so is the RROD, it was fixed just like any defect.  Also, just to stay on point MS was talking about Software developers not hardware.  When you consider graphics do you only see how pretty a scene is or the complexity of what’s is shone.  A game like Assassin creed looks better than Uncharted in my opinion because of the complexity of the scene then how pretty everything looks within a box.

Isn't this the same guy who verbally chastised a video game journalist in an interview after E3 that DRM was built into the X1 from its inception and MS couldn't simply "flip a switch" and remove it...then a week later MS indeed 'flipped the switch' and removed it?  Why should we believe anything that comes out of this MS spin doctor's mouth?

This makes sense. The co-processors will likely free up the CPU and GPU somewhat with development tools designed to make using them as easy as possible. We still don't have full information on all the co-processors making me think they're some proprietary tech.

They used to say how power doesn't matter, but now they seem to be talking about it a lot.

You are missing the context of where this comment was stated.  it was stated in Neograf and the MS guy Albert was disproving the threads that states the X1 is 30 to 50% less powerfull than the PS4.  Context is king in understanding why something is stated that way people do not take a comment out of context and come to the wrong decision.

At the end of the day you can say how much more powerful A console is over B, but i can guarantee the games will look the bloody same on both consoles. Multiplats will look even more similar than last gen, and it will be even harder to tell what exclusives look better than last gen. If you really think the Ps4 will be this beast of a console that has unmatched power, your going to be very disappointed.

The majority of multplatform games performed and looked better on the 360, also Halo 4 won a shot load of Graphics awards including best Graphics at the VGA's last year.

Bullshizzle.

Just admit you don't know what you're talking about. It's up for debate how big the difference will be, but for pete's sake it's much bigger than the PS360 difference.

context is one thing, by why list a % at all, because Sony never stated a % All Sony 's Mark Cerny stated was that sony built the most powerful console to date. the point is he stated.

 “there’s no way” they’re giving up a 30% graphical advantage to the PS4"

that's the point he could have bypassed the % and just stated were not giving up any graphical advantage to the PS4!

Sony's Mark Cerny stated that , we made the most powerful Console to date, and yet both Nintendo and Microsoft has not disputed such claim!

MS put up the NDA but MS can talk freely about the X1 but everybody else outside of MS - developer, harware manufacture etc - have to keep their mouths shut. At this point MS have no advantage by keeping specs info quiet. PS4 is already in mass production
