On the other hand, the technology and computer science involved in this issue isn't secret voodoo either.
"Balancing" will be the job of actual Devs who have to decide what to put into the eSRAM and when...
I am sure they do... You know if 400hp Ferrari ....
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen a post like this fulls of Caps Lock and attacks on Sony from him on GAF before, and I'm not sure why he felt it was necessary now.
Maybe you should read the first sentence. The second sentence is a general statement, have you revealed your name and position? No.

outside of threads & articles of what devs have said about one title looking slightly better than another out of the 2 platforms, I think we have no idea because they are showing the version of one system or another to the public & not both.
& saying that the gap wont widen over 10 years with the graphics hardware differences is kind of....um crazy?
I'm sure also, but you wait till the games are out and people are counting sparks.
Nope. He is identified as a Microsoft employee and posts under his real name.
What is not allowed is shill while pretending to not be a shill.
If it wasn't allowed it would say "Banned" under his user name.
Albert is open about his job and position. He has the right to post like anyone else.

insiders on Gaf was what made Gaf in the early 2000's. Stop trying to run them out.

The XBox One is a new console. A shiny new gadget that gets us excited and practically sells itself. Instead of riding that wave of momentum, Microsoft decided to introduce policies that had us question "how much are these guys going to screw me", then after an unprecedented 180 we're left with PR folk that are hopping on the trolley to the Land of Make-Believe when discussing raw specs. It's like Microsoft is sabotaging itself for launch day.
I hope not. I would much rather hear from someone who works with these systems daily than anyone else in here.
Why would they prohibit industry figures from posting here? It's one of the things that makes NeoGAF so special.

This is a fair point. But to those of us who like to dissect things I'm sure we will be looking. That's what the point of the richer tech oriented threads does. I like that. This is another type of discussion though.

I'd like to think we all have the opportunity to make ridiculous statements.

This is blatantly nonsense. They might see minimal differences. They might not care about the differences, but put them side by side and there will absolutely be differences.
I struggle to think of many multiplatform titles from any generation where there were no visible differences, however minor those may have been. I don't think the differences will be big enough for most people to care, but I also don't think that the Xbone is going to come out ahead of the PS4 in many, if any, multiplatform title comparisons.

Just to be clear, if someone like Kaz came here to discuss things with us you would want him banned?
These arguments have been handled before. Cell Phones <> Consoles <> PCs. Stop it with the false equivalencies.
EDIT: You are correct there is no private sale with those vendors, but there are other things that offset that ( price mainly, or access to multiple vendors on that platform PC ). But again the cellphone, PC, and consoles have different hardware and capabilities, serve different custumers, different consumer expectation, have different distribution models, etc.. That is why I classify it as a false equivalency.

Has Sony really been all that open? What's the CPU speed again and the full architecture as laid out by MS at HotChips?

What I thought was interesting is that apparently Major Nelson tried to get a GAF account in the past but was never approved (from Albert's mouth)?

Most people posting on GAF as an insider or any kind of company position gets verified by mods privately.
The fact that he isn't banned is all the answer you need.
Why should consoles be treated differently?
What's wrong with him posting here? He isn't hiding behind an anonymous name and has revealed his position in MS PR. People are free to make up their own minds.
Clearly he is verging on having a Jeff Bell moment here but I find it amusing.
I'm not criticizing you because I've seen this said elsewhere, but I don't know how we got to the point where the system that needs specialized features and hardware to address it's much lower bandwidth is somehow more balanced with fewer bottlenecks.
some of it is.
he said we actually do not know everything about the architecture yet.no... not secret sauce... but this is a new untested design and maybe the results are surprising even conceptual computer science in the real world application?

That's what makes it so funny. He reminds me of that lady from the DEA which couldn't openly admit that heroin is worse than marijuana.
Nelson would have been rinsed. That is why.
So why is it that you're giving more weight to the words of Penello when Cerny has gone out to proclaim that multiplatform titles will be better on their system.
Wouldn't he be in a similar situation as Penello right now?
As long as employees from these companies states who they are and who they work for it's all right

and as long as they don't start threads. I believe. They can only join in on existing discussions.
I appreciate Alberts posts here and think I read them for what they are, frank, honest and trying to be clear and give us the info we're desperate for.
It's funny times right now and there is a lot of bashing, agendas or people trying to get reactions.
I'm just looking forward to getting my next gen hardware for the first time in 8 years and playing some great games.

afaik pr people like community managers are not welcome here...
I don't get comparing the current launch games (subjectively) to prove that the power difference isn't noticeable when even Sony themselves say it won't be as evident until a few years from now. Even then, if some of those articles about mulitplatform devs saying one is more powerful than the other are true already, then how can you still say that? Subjectively comparing first-party games when third-party games haven't even been shown on both systems is something you'd expect to find on here, not as an answer from someone "in the know".
Otherwise, good interview. I understand the need to defend against the power comments, but at least let it be a good point and not something so subjective and early that it's impossible to even say.

Forza 5 and Ryse look better than anything coming for PS4 day one.
Yes too far.
We have lot's of CM here, they are just not allowed to promote their product, like make promotional threads or OT's for example.
