"It's like giving you the world's best PC," he added, pointing to Sony's introduction of "super convenient" features such as the ability to play games while they're downloading and perform background updates.

"The kind of stuff that they announced that they're doing, the level of convenience and things like that... they're making a really perfect gaming PC," he added.

"I've always said that the things in the next-generation that aren't just brute force hardware are all about the service and simplicity of the experience - the things that make it as fun and easy to get a PS4 game as it is to get a game on your iPad."

A gaming VP pimpin the console required to play his games.... I'm absolutely shocked he would take this stance. What a bold statement.

Eh, at least they (ark fans) post content for discussion on here. (gaming board)

Outside of this forum though, all bets are off.

Ulty likes hockey though so he's sorta cool in my book. Playoff hockey makes me moist

When coyote sees this thread he is going to laugh for long time...

It's not all about raw GFLOPS.

The unified memory architecture of the PS4's APU is certainly a developmental advantage.

Scruffy has a dream. A dream that one day all the little PCers and all the consolers will be able to drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, and sit all the way in the front of the bus in the worst seats available.

Ah, I didn't know they're planning backwards compatibility. Last I heard they were going to pull a PS3 and not have any.

As nice as the ps4 is, I highly doubt it will allow you to minimize a game and switch to a web browser in a split second.

It will lack convenience compared to a PC no matter how they spin it.
