Eh. His responses are kinda different than I'd expect.


probably because they make no sense are at times are total mis-information (Ps4 not doing anything other then games etc..)


You mean just how everyone spread FUD about Xbox not being a games machine? Sony is marketing the PS4 as a games machine and it will never been seen as a multimedia device. MS is marketing the Xbox One as an entertainment device. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You can't just point fingers at shadows and claim that they are hypocrites.  Xbox not being a games machine? Who said this?

You're defending the interviewees information by saying "well that's because it was fanboys who said xbox was a casual movie machine and ps4 was a games machine, so obviously he's going to get it wrong". You also defend it by saying it's marketing's fault. He's a developer who should be intimately involved in the consoles, not relying on internet posts.

Why are Sony fans always portrayed as hypocrites, when nobody can ever show a real example of hypocrisy?

PS: My assumption to what he meant was that xbox has these other OS's you have to deal with, and its structure is different than a purebreed gaming environment like ps4's structure is. His mispeak was simply a miscommunication. PS4 can do most of what xb1 can with media (obviously not things like snap, or hdmi-in), it's just that the hardware is built specifically for gaming type software. Media and streaming is a secondary function.

It's sort of like how a shopping cart is designed to carry your groceries and makes an excellent transportation for children, and a car is designed for transportation, but you could always put groceries on the seats.

Nice article however better tools will never make up for the difference in the systems GPUs or memory setup.

It doesn't have to.  Better tools, drivers and memory management mean it becomes easier for the developer to get the performance out of the system.  I believe gamers view everything as a fanboy war between the 2 consoles but instead the developer wants to deliver a game where they get all the features they want for both without compromise.  This is what the developer is talking about not the X1 magically become more powerful than the PS4.

The only thing that seems a bit odd, is the Xbox One uses less of the RAM than the PS4's.

Care to explain?

Currently the Xbox One OS is using 1/2 gig less than the PS4.  Sony has talked about freeing some memory, but hasn't done it yet.

But then Microsoft is probably going to shrink their OS too and has already been talking about freeing some CPU/GPU. 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Where you get this info?

MS uses three OSs with 3GB reserved to them... games uses 5GB.

PS4 reserves 2.5GB for OS... 1GB is flexible... 4.5GB for games... but games can use the 1GB flexible if dev wants... so 5.5GB for games.
