Obviously and it would seem Sony knows this very well, their focus on gaming first as a core principle of the PS4 system will ensure they keep giving us the experiences we demand as the hardcoriest of teh hardcoarz :P
We've heard absolutely nothing from MS on cloud gaming, as far as we know they don't even have it on Xbox 3.
It's most likely that they do though, or they are busy trying to build an infastructure as robust as Gaikais as quickly as possible.
Didn't they hire some guys from the failed Onlive platform? How did that compare to Gaikai?
"GDDR5 supports higher data rates (five times that of GDDR3 and four times that of GDDR4), which enables more bandwidth over a narrower memory interface, meaning better performance from a smaller, more cost effective chip. It also means gamers will have the potential to play at higher resolutions and image quality settings, with improved load times."

Could be, I'm just going from the leaked specs of 8gb DDR3.
If MS want to target the casual market as signs would suggest, they'll have to keep costs down. So it could be that they'll be perfectly happy with less of a console at a cheaper price. TBH I think they'll sell more consoles like that but not to core gamers who'll most likely jump ship to Playstation if they haven't already.

and Polyphony Digital
and Media Molecule
and Insomniac
please :)
Sony's 8gb GDDR RAM announcement alone could make MS reconsider some of their hardware choices, which might result in at least a few months delay. It's entirely possible people.
Nobody likes delays but if it means the Xbox 3 will be on par with PS4, shouldn't Xbox gamers be happy?
Reviews had influence?
Fair enough but why not change it before publishing?
Wish him/her a speedy recovery.
Whether it's a change for the better is yet to be seen.

...who are these guys trying to kid? All eyes are on the potential PS4 reveal this Wednesday.
My expectations are realistic when it comes to what PS4 games will look like but there's just no way those few snippets of gameplay were running on next gen-tech. They looked like they would run without breaking a sweat on PS3/360/WiiU. Do you honestly think Sony would allow PS4 footage to be openly shown before their event on the 20th?

Really? Well each to their own but I have my doubts. Do you think that the gameplay footage looked 'ne...
Steady on fella, I wasn't having a go at Home, I'm actually one the gamers that appreciate it for what it is just like you.
You can't really argue that it hasn't got negative connotations for a lot of gamers as they're constantly giving it an unjustified bashing in comments sections around the net.
Actually it was written into the contract in 2010 when Bungie joined Activision, which I'm guessing is before they began full development.

This means that it was likely part of a deal with MS to let Bungie go or some other agreement between Activision and MS. This is where the rumour...
Although Home has been a commercial success, it was not what most gamers were expecting. So now, whenever Home is mentioned there's always a negative connotation with gamers and gamers are the people Sony are focusing on.
I don't understand why people are confused by this.
DESTINY IS AN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAME
Even described as MMO-ish, which means in order to play online you will need a gold sub on 360. Are people denying this?
I thought I made it clear in the blog that it was rumoured that they were to have TIMED EXCLUSIVITY but this may no longer be the case. Looks like most people have misunderstood so I've updated the title to better reflect my point, thanks to everyone who left me links and constructive ctiticism. Helpful bubs all round :)

obviously.
Are you saying MS will let you play Destiny online for free?
Really, I haven't heard about this, can you give me a link please?
@Angelic below
Never even considered that, fingers crossed :D
It's much too ambitious to make it out this year, I also expect delays and technical issues to plague development as with most MMO games.
