This is for the players indeed, this is one player who is very excited, impressive stuff Sony.
Of course they matter or we would all still be playing games on the PS1, I agree gameplay should always come first but I want to enjoy that gameplay it in the best way possible.
VR looking pretty good can't wait to try it
Keep your kinect, VR is going to make gaming a truly immersive experience and is a true next gen peripheral.

You failed to include esram and what it is capable of doing.
Sorry guys I was trying to answer MichaelLito79 and somehow my post about specs ended up posted numerous times
MichaelLito79
esram is a potential bottleneck which is why Sony chose a more modern efficient unified memory design

I said GPU and Ram.
Yes sorry uth somehow just read the ram part, but I agree their are no tri...
Farmassy the clock speeds are set improving the efficiency of code would makes no difference to their clock speeds, so no change in heat produced.
I will agree that the xone has plenty of space to run cool, they certainly were making sure they didn't suffer another RROD debacle, Sony are hardware guys they know how to build hardware small and sexy is what I would expect from them.
It isn't just the ram
Xbox One:
1.18 Teraflop GPU with 12 active Compute Units (2 disabled)
768 Shaders
48 Texture mapping units
16 Render output units
2 Asynchronous Compute Engines with 16 queues
PlayStation 4:
1.84 Teraflop GPU with 18 active Compute Units (2 disabled) // 56% higher than Xbox One
1152 Shaders // 50% more
72 Texture mapping units // 50% more
32 Render output units /...
Farmassy, this is software designed to improve efficiency it will have no effect on how hot the machine runs, all it will do is allow developers to get more out of whats on offer.
As for closing the gap with both sides doing the same kinds of improvements things will remain pretty much the same, although I remember seeing something about when compute is used more, because of the PS4's unified memory the gap could extend in the PS4's favour.

Nobody is saying Dx12 won't do anything they just point out like this article shows Sony will be doing the same,
the xone will always lag behind the PS4's specs no amount of software upgrades are going to change that.
The PS4 will continue to dominate in performance it won't change no matter what MS would have you believe
ats1992, of course it will do something there is no point doing it otherwise, it's just that Sony will be doing stuff too the difference in power between the two consoles is not going to be bridged in software.
Project cars has been looking pretty impressive and had me interested but looking at those screenshots and comparing them to the very impressive looking Drive Clubs Graphics of actual gameplay it's not even a contest.

incendy35: I especially thought the heart rate and expression system could have been very cool ways to enhance single player games. For example use the heart rate to know when to scare a player, or use player expressions to make AI react in a more immersive way
This technology was promoted as something for gaming, but you are naive in the extreme to not see how this sort of information would prove useful to advertisers and Thus in turn M$,

With a machine gun
Eonjay I get what your saying, but gamers have been saying for months if not years they didn't like what MS was trying to force on gamers, having to hold what amounts to a gun to MS head hardly qualifies as listening.
ALLWRONG : Gamers hated DRM, Kinect, Paywalls so MS ditched them.
I'm sorry but MS do not deserve credit for getting rid of something that should not have been done in the first place.
MS keep telling gamers they are listening if that were true DRM would not have happened, they changed it because Pre orders for xone were a joke, the same was true of always online watered down to 24 hour check in again they wern't listening till pre orders left them no choice.
MS wanted kinect, gamers told them they didn't they chanced their arm knowing kinect was a potential goldmine for targetting advertising at gamers, the only thing that forced their hand was the...
To be fair to MS if had they made the announcement about dropping kinect at E3 it would have taken away from what they really want people talking about games.
kinect was a mistake, but they should be used to them by now.
Wow this game really puts the graphics in Forza into perspective some pretty horrible stuff going on there.
I can't wait for Drive clubs scenery and attention to detail to suck me into the amazing looking gameplay.
Drive club, driving me up the wall with anticipation, can't wait
Evolution studios did one of my favourite games of last gen, Motorstorm great studio, if you want a race games these guys are some of the best.
Sony deserves every success, support the gamers and gamers will support you.
