Indeed, so a lot are comparing it to PC, I dont know any that runs 8GB GDDR5, so straight away this console is doing something a PC doesnt.

And its unified between GPU and APU. AND its a single device, so a developer could work some real magic, without much OS overhead.

Unified GPU and APU. Look at your CPU temps, now your GPU temps. You want them both on the same die? Either the GPU is gimped or the cooler is bigger than the TV its hooked up to.

So you can't play PS3 games, and you may or may not be able to play them via stream on PS4.

Lol.

GT has fallen over then...

Meh, i really don't like the sound of cloud based gaming....

Seems okay now but its just people saying its simple got more boring

, Did they state its not BC? Mine was stuttering so may of missed it but if i did and its true its not BC why are people surprised? The Tech is completely different

Crytek CEO was right though next gen consoles still won't hold a candle to PC's.

If the rumours are correct the PS4 is a 1.7Ghz 8 core AMD cpu and 7 series GPU already surpassed by high end PC hardware.

Im confused why anyone cares, considering PC gaming is supposedly restricted by consoles in the first place

Seen one game so far and to be fair that looked pretty boring!

Already lowering expectations and not promising all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games will not be streaming at launch.

If I see no image of the console by 12 I'm going to bed.

kevpuk · 20 Feb 2013 at 23:42

Well, for me the PS4 seems like a pre-order-in-waiting

Really happy with all I have seen/heard so far....am I alone ?!

So basically its crapper than my mid-range pc is at the moment.

Oh lawd. You do realise there are MASSIVE overheads associated with Windows on a PC compared to the low level access developers get on a console? Not to mention how the architecture is specifically designed to achieve as much bandwidth as possible to run the games.

Lol at people expecting this to be all about games. I hope they don't show any just to annoy you. I came here to see the PS4.

^TANK^ · 20 Feb 2013 at 23:42

I just want a console none of this other crap.

Finners · 20 Feb 2013 at 23:43

at least programmers will use more cores now

They are thinking way too hard about the social side, most gamers play to get away from the real world for a few hours.

Bit underwhelmed so far.

So if I can buy any game on any device using the Playstation cloud, why would I buy a PS4?

Simon · 20 Feb 2013 at 23:43

Sony Face station.

robgmun · 20 Feb 2013 at 23:43

So what happens to my ps3 discs? Will i have to rebuy the games on the cloud??

If so then i won't be buying a ps4 for a couple of years until i finish playing my back-cataloge
