The general hardware spec's were announced and tbh i'm not that impressed.
My PC already sports as much processing power, more RAM and when I upgrade in the autumn I hope to have a gfx card two generations beyond it's launch spec's!
I've got feeling in my bones that between this and the XBOX 720 (if it ends up being called that) will be the last consoles as we think of them at the moment. The next generation are going to be very different indeed.
It's a totally unfair comparison.
Go into task manager and tell me how many processes are running? Go into Services and see how much stuff is doing stuff all the time. Compare that to an OS that is tuned as a console.
I'd say 8GB DDR5 RAM is MORE than enough to be very nice indeed.
Not to mention that the price of a latest top-end video card is MORE than the likely retail price of the PS4.
Don't get me wrong, I like PC gaming, especially when it comes to FPS, but it's hard to beat the all-round experience of a good console, including having mates round playing Fifa or LBP or watching Netflix, playing music or doing a quiz, sat around the TV on sofas and armchairs rather than a monitor on a desk.
I'll be getting one (or the XBOX, whichever comes first assuming similar specs).
