Sorry, should have said, "stated in exhaustive detail."
Cueil-
The article you linked to did little more than quote a MS employee. So, what you've chosen to do is believe PR over objective data stated in exhaustive data. Wow, I can't even imagine the mental gymnastics you must be doing right now.
If you're going to be that picky, you might want to learn the difference between threw and through. Also, there is no need to capitalize zombies. Good day, sir!

The RAM bandwith for PS4's GDDR5 is 176GB/s while the One's DDR3 is 68.3 (how much the eSRAM affects this is unknown). The figures of 1.84 TFLOPS and 1.23 TFLOPS pertain to GPU performance. The author got the figures right on the comparison graph he made, must have just suffered from a bit of brain fade toward the end of the article.
Blow made Braid, not Limbo.
As game development takes place on PC (and many games find their home there) it may actually be the other way around, as the PS4's architecture is closer to that of a PC than the One. Something similar happened with PS360, but with opposite positions being filled.
How are rumored, inaccurate specs proof of anything other than your inability to conjure a logical argument? It's pretty clear that the One has an inferior GPU, slower RAM (and less of it available for games) and an architecture that will be harder to exploit. There's no way out of this, the new Xbox is underpowered and more difficult to program for. PS4 will look and play better. Deal with it.

Maybe you should have been paying more attention, because everything they've revealed thus far points to the leaked specs being true. What this means is that games will suffer due to the bloated OS that is needed to handle all of the features MS shoehorned into the console. They're going to have a tough time convincing a lot of people that they're still serious about the videogame industry. And no matter how many games they show, I will never buy a crippled system tha...
PS4 could do the same, but it probably won't turn into anything significant until the average bandwidth in all territories increases. Devs don't want to alienate people without fast enough connections.
And by "what was expected", you mean substantially weaker than PS4 (source: the architecture panel), right? How is that going to change the game? The features are interesting, but that's about it.
Rationally, I agree with you. However, the part of me that is capable of sympathy thinks you're despicable.
I know they're using Foxconn for tablets, but was unaware of it going further than that. I don't suppose you have a link?

You could have posted all of this before the redesign, since the information is three months old. Problem solved.
Not that I'd be terribly bothered, but I hope that isn't what it looks like.
True, but a comparison based on specs will be easier to make if they're using similar architectures. Comparing PS3 to 360 was difficult because of the difference in design philosophy.
If that's what you think the issue is, then you're clueless.
The "author" of this mess of an article clearly doesn't have any idea as to the length of a console development cycle. Only slight changes could have been made in the last few months, otherwise they'd have to delay the system. If the console is more powerful than the PS4, it's because it was designed that way from the beginning. I also love how there isn't even mention of a source. Videogame journalism at its finest...

Well then, it's a good thing we're talking about the PS4 here.
On topic: Being able to code for a particular set of specifications will enable PS4 to punch above its weight compared to PC tech. Despite the similarities in architecture, it most certainly isn't a like-for-like situation.
I love how you speculate and then say it's too early for such a thing.
