NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
I gave you a link that'll tell y
in fact I'll give you a link that points to specific issues :
PS3 hardware design choices - good or bad? *spawn - Beyond3D Forum
The ps3 is FACTUALLY weaker in some areas it just happens to
be areas that matter a great deal in rendering games.
This isn't opinion or a matter of difficulty, several developers have come forth and stated this.
For example the ps3 has terrible fill rate and titles
that took advantage of this on 360, struggled when they came to
ps3.

And no, those guys on that website know plenty, there are several
developers and professionals who post there, it may not be fun to read
though for people who have no interest in game design or software development (the latter
being my career choice and game design being a hobby I have interest in. )


There wasn't any real "Superiority" on either platform because over all they're stupidly close in performance, at least once developers developers got up to par on the ps3 which happened a couple
years ago yet there were still certain games that performed better because of what the developer was
ultimately going for.
And even then we don't have an example to check against if we only use first party
titles, though it's not like they're lacking visually on the 360 :
Halo Reach
Halo 4
Alan Wake
and the
Gears of War trilogy
All of these games look fantastic, as well as the myriad of multiplatform titles
that run better due to distinct advantages hardware wise.
Son..same way the GPU is stronger in the 360...the Sony's Cell processor is FAR stronger than the 360's processor fam...most people who review both systems and weigh the pros and cons they almost ALWAYS come out dead even... and then it all boils down to the games for the most part..but like i said..the gap between multiplats closed A WHILE ago...it all boils down to SOME games run and better on one..some run and look better on the other..and if it's a significant difference...9 times outta 10 it's dev related...real talk..which is why as powerful as the PC is some ports run horrible on it..GTA4 for instance...overall..best graphics this gen console wise comes from the PS3 exclusives majority of the time...

This doesn't make any sense. How does Sony go from 512 MB for OS when the system had only 4GB of RAM, to now needing almost 3.5 GB? Doesn't make sense for Sony to add 4 more GB of RAM just to do more OS stuff. I'm calling bullshyt on this article till Sony gives an official response.

If it turns out to be true then this is bad news for gamers. Looks like this will be another lost gen like the last.

Im trying to figure out what you're happy about. There isnt one spec that xbox one has shown to be superior over ps4. Misery loves company i guess.

As mister Adam Sessler said he has been weary of Sony because they are just keeping quiet and letting MS take all the abuse. In reality Sony want to do the same thing as MS is doing. Remember Sony is the one with the Movie and tv studio's. If you think they don't want a all around entertainment device you are fooling yourselves.

I like to throw out the esram 192 gb/s number that digital foundry hasn't recanted yet. But whatever It appears that the ps4 gddr5 runs at 178 gb/s but only going to have 4.5gb ram available (without getting permission). 8 divided by 176 means 22 per gb of ram. 4.5 x 22 = 99 gb/s.

The xbox one 8 GB of DDR3 RAM with a memory bandwidth of 68.3 GB/s.with only 5 available for gaming 42 gb/s

42 gb/s compared to 99 gb/s is a no brainer. Except that esram that is rumored to be 192 gb/s read and write may actually only be 102 gb/s.

So we are looking at at least 144 gb/s to 99 gb/s... It looks like an xbox win but ps4 will be easier to make the games for. so who will win?
