Who says it's blind faith? A disc read error vs. RROD? You can't even compare the two.
They both could render the console unplayable..

Had one a year after US release with the disc drive positioned close to the power. Yeah, I had to do this, before it finally gave out entirely (IIRC my dad did try to repair it.) I have trouble digging up pictures, but they eventually moved the drive to the right side of the tray to be away from the heat rather than keeping it at the top part.I currently have a PS1 and have never had to do that. Have you ever owned one?

All companies screw up something to cut costs. Doesn't make Sony any better or worse for doing it. But don't slobber all over them, because they have issues like everyone else.

Yep, one of the companies extended the warranty to fix the serious problem for free![]()
There was the Battlefield 4 one I saw, but that seemed to be from an anime blog or something. I assume most just copy paste press releases though.I think every single result with both consoles has it this way: "for both the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft"
That copy and paste is actually from the Elder Scrolls Online release, by the way. If I get time I'll see if I can find Sony's 'official usage' guidelines for the PS4.
Care to elaborate what your opinion has to do with anything regarding this thread? Not that it's not appreciated..
Oh and a small detail: Cell R&D was anything but in-house, so much about "all" R&D in-house, after all it was the center piece of the PS3 and Sony's promotion.. And not compromise quality for a few bucks, how bout leaving HDMI cables out of the box?
But let's get back to topic, shall we?

And like I said it IS nitpicking, Computer Entertainment System is still fancy PR speak, but it sounds drier and more just a fancy way of saying "this is a video game system that might do other stuff too", whereas Microsoft comes off as trying to slip/force in some free marketing. Kind of the difference between PlayStation Move Features/Supports PlayStation Move and Better with Kinect: one's advertising that it has the functionality, the other's trying to play up that functionality as inherently better for the game when it's a matter of opinion, and when just supporting that peripheral should be enough incentive on its own if you cared.
Yeah, they were trying to bill the systems as computers for quite awhile in Europe. In the end it completely failed however even when the PS3 could literally be a linux PC, so I think now it's just a title rather than a serious attempt at tax evasion.I think Sony's is purportedly at least partly for tax purposes as well. Something about import rules or some obscure crap like that.
What my opinion has to do with this thread is, despite the purported 88% performance gain, I think the X1 is an inferior product.
Cell was developed as a collaboration between Sony, Toshiba and IBM, all with a long history engineering and manufacturing computing hardware. Now compare that to MS handing over product design to a San Francisco based marketing firm that makes trendy overpriced bracelets for Nike.
As for the HDMI cables. Do you even remember how expensive HDMI cables were in 2006? Excluding them was hardly a compromise to the quality of the PS3's design.
Probably because flip xbox 360 not fix it, I suppose?

Man, I really wish they just jumped on the x86 boat right then and there, we'd probably have had proper BC this time and probably a cheaper system, even if it's just by $100 due to blu-ray.*Sigh* Don't bring up Cell. Lets put the cards on the table here, for the use as far as Gaming Cell was a mistake. It cost Kutagari his Job at Sony, and almost caused the entire Playstation division to go belly up. It was just not the right type of Architecture for gaming, the learning curve in regards to adapting your style of coding was too high. They learned their lesson and went with a much simpler design now.
Yes. Ignore him.Are you trolling?
Any clarification from DF on how the ESRAM could get a 88% bandwidth boost?
Or are can we assume that it was a bad source with bad math?
Or is it savf to assume a 50mhz downgrade for the GPU?
Yes. Ignore him.
We need this thread to stay alive to see the conclusion of Infamous Bowser's Inside Story.
Ok, now you are embarassing, stop it, please.This quote was about the PS2 drive failures, but nice try.
He sent a PM, I am still awaiting the requisite details. If he's good, I will let you know. If not? Grey.Well the hour is over and he is not banned yet.
My opinion:
- I feel that Sony has proven they are better engineers and manufacturers of electronic devices.
- I trust they will not compromise quality in order to save a few dollars.
- I also appreciate that all R&D for the PS4 (and PS3) was in-house, and not contracted out to some stupid west coast "artsy" marketing firm that resulted in the 360's craptastic design.
- I do not trust Microsoft

So your logic is: because you are a happy Sony customer, Microsoft must surely fail at making consoles? And are we seriously comparing the console design (as in: the casing) with the hardware design now? Are you trolling?
Wow...
I am outa here.

Maybe someone should tweet Sucker Punch and see if they were having behind closed doors demos, and if they remember just handing some dude the controller.It's more inconceivable that someone played a demo that wasn't available on the show floor and only accessed to the developers of the game itself. There is a reason why all the demos looked the same.
If the dev let anyone just "mess" with it then they shouldn't have a problem being it available to the public.

SourceTakahashi reports in August 2005 during the early stages of the Xbox 360’s development warnings were already being raised but were ignored. An engineer raised his hand and said, “Stop. You have to shut down the line.” This wasn’t just a brief moment. The engineer spoke up repeatedly. According to the article that engineer, who remains anonymous, had deep experience in manufacturing. When production results were really off kilter, stopping a line and tracing a problem back to its roots was the answer. Managers and executives, higher-ranking engineers ignored the warnings and decided to go forward. At the time, 68 out of every 100 Xbox 360s made were not working. Worse still, when the first batch of the system's three-core CPUs rolled off the line, only 16 percent worked.
It's not about you.Why would I be banned for simply posting an opinion? It clearly states that it's my opinion. Are people not allowed opinions on this board?
Oh shit, didn't see this. Sorry.We're getting way off topic here.
Hawk269 - you will PM me your credentials. We'll get to the bottom of this one way or the other. This derail has gone on long enough. You've got an hour.
Ok, back to the music.

Well, it's been an hour and Hawk isn't banned. Means he's legit?

read the thread and you might have figured that out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but PS4 have dedicated hardware for almost everything... eg. sound, download, share feature... at the PS4 reveal they talked that no resource for any of these functions is stolen from games.
There is even an ARM to run stuff.
Cerny also said they allowed for the system to grow over time in the last keynote video he spoke at.
He didn't go into detail about it.
Isn't that the generic developers will get better over time at exploiting the hardware?Cerny also said they allowed for the system to grow over time in the last key note video he spoke at.

I think he said that more about the developers over the time get used to release the full potential of the hardware.Isn't there something unknown behind a larger cover on the box? Maybe an extension port?

http://www.psu.com/forums/showthrea...-hugely-underestimated-claim-developers/page3Uh, no it doesn't, he has no basis for that for starters.
He's heard that the Xbox One driver software is less mature, and we all know that.
But he likes to down play the GPU at ever turn, he says the ESRAM is capable of this, but probably only really this (133gb/s).
The things is, he is likely right, but I can also tell you the same hold true for Sony's theoretical 176 gb/s.
It aint about to hit that anytime soon, nor does it do it half as efficient as the Xbox One GPU.
He doesn't even go into the implications of concurrent read/write (which is something i have been banging on about for a wee while now). 2 bus's are better than one. One alone being able to do it concurrently is even nicer.
People underestimate those under-spoken DB/CB blocks. They are extremely useful, powerful and far faster than any memory on either the PS4 or Xbox One memory system.
Fast render paths and pre-out on depth tests at a vertex level? This isn't something the PS4 GPU can do.
A depth test takes up zero bandwidth when done (correctly)on the Xbox one, that's a soak on the PS4's bandwidth.
While the GPU on the PS4 is strong in compute,its likely to be held at arms length in terms of render speed, even with twice the ROP.
Doesn't GT6 have real-time weather and Day/Night cycle while aiming at 60 FPS?
I have to contest this Infamous: Second Son point. Yes, it has pop-in and 2d trees, but what do you expect? The PS4 does not have limitless power and this is a launch window title. It's going to have problems even when it ships.
I found a comment from an Indie dev about the article and Leadbetter:
http://www.psu.com/forums/showthrea...-hugely-underestimated-claim-developers/page3
I don't know what to make out of this - sounds reasonable but afaik it is not possible to have a bus that can read and write at the same time and the depth/color block also sounds familiar when you read the GCN white paper but I'm not sure here.
