Read the article, it's just a Dead Rising 3 fan piece talking about how the PS4 is more powerful but he wouldn't be able to play Dead Rising 3 on it, which is apparently more important. It's got no actual substance to it.

There is a real possibility that the "the best software" is completely subjective.

Lest we forget that a large variety of all games are multiplats, and the resent push of indies from PC to console will make sure that the best software is available regardless of hardware... therefore get the best hardware... you get most of the great games and all of the best hardware.

Lots of good software on the ps3/360. Catch my drift author?
Or simply buy a wiiu. It's exactly what your asking for ;-)

Yeah but that was years ago , and things has changed in today market the hardware is really important ..
Better hardware means better software.

@Lukas

I understand what he was saying but we have all played some amazing games on platforms that were regarded as weak. Could these games be any better with more powerful hardware?

Sure, but that can be said about everything and anything out today.

There is no harm in more power but there is also no harm in creating the best experience with what you have to work with. One of the best RPG's I played this gen was Xenoblade and it was on the weakest system, the Wii.

The devs made sure that the quality, story, gameplay and design could stand next to any RPG the 360 or PS3 had to offer.

"But if those devs had better hardware to work with, those games could be even better."

Again, you can say that about any game played ever in life. Unfortunately devs do not have that luxury to work with when developing for consoles.

@Fox
The Dreamcast if I remember was also more powerful than the PS2. It also came out before the PS2 (right?). And the PS2 killed the Dreamcast.

One of the big reasons Dreamcast was killed was because the lack of software for the system.

With both systems releasing close to each other in my opinion it will be decided by software and features now more than ever.

so fox the rules only change when one company has better hardware? didnt the 360 come out before the ps3? so only when one console has better hardware it matters ? please drop the ignorance how old are u? I bet u havent been gaming as long as i am, i got 4 kids eldest is 21 and u? i believe in all platforms thats why i always end up getting all brands, i got ps3 last gen first just because, but i got a 360 after, i had a wii, before that ps2, xbox gamecube, before that u name them. people supported the ps1, so why not support the xbox that was more powerful? When u come with an explanation like that, that sounds so one sided its kinda hard to understand u as a gamer, i see u more like a fanboy, just to close the same rules apply to all consoles it goes both ways. in the end its the software support that matters

The better software came from better support. Practically every developer supported the PS2, whether exclusively or for multi-plats. Thats' why the games flowed like water. The original Xbox could have done the same thing, but MS never got the big support for it. There were so many games on the PS2 it's a given that there would be a lot of good ones. Most people don't remember that it had a lot of trash games too.
