The plot seems to thicken every hour. Of course now it's no big deal from the folks at N4G (sort of like paying for multiplayer)and we should just move on. This article was correct, Sony was wise to bring attention to the non DRM aspects of their system and let the fanboys run wild with the specs they thought they understood.
Sony are not fools, very smart.
But yea, yea, CNet is owned by MS or some other nonsense.
I would buy it faster than I'm already going to.
Sony was smart to reveal early and keep the price and DRM and camera hidden until MS revealed their console.
Once MS's cat was out of the bag, they definitely rushed to cut the camera out which I truly believe they had every intention of including. It was one of the main focus in their reveal and a huge feature for their controllers. Also they kept dodging the DRM question until e3 when they finally gave the straight answer of no DRM.

That is hilarious, the only flip flopping and back peddling is from the sony fanboys. It is so amazing on this site. Everything must be down played when it comes to Sony but for MS everything must be sensationalized and over blown.
MS is switching their policies for the better and yet Dedicated is warning us because of this "flip flopping"? Why would we worry about these new reversals when its exactly what we wanted from them?
I am with Deathx on this. The Vita needs to get it's own legs. people are so excited to drop cash for a PS4 and a Vita, but then spit vile and venom at X1's high price and it actually comes with the Kinect 2.
It makes no sense.
"Um, then why are devs across the board touting their PS4 versions, praising the PS4 hardware, and showing off their PS4 builds of multiplat games?"
UUUm, because that is what devs do Dedicated. They are showing off their games and the PS4 revealed early so this gives devs a chance to show off what they are doing with the system.
And yes they are talking about the hardware, after coming off of the hard architecture of the Cell of course they have ...
Yes indeed 5 gigs is more than enough. I think a lot of people are worried specifically on N4G because fans used the more RAM as a slap in the face to the Xbox One fans. That is where the worrying is coming from.
But this is a rumor, Sony needs to come out and clarify this.
@Dedicated
I love that you're eating crow but this is a rumor and you should reserve that crow when it is clarified.

It has a huge following. I just can't get into it, but I do respect it. Nintendo took a big risk having all their franchises fighting each other.
Good job Nintendo.
@ aiBreeze
MS wants an entertainment device that plays games also. That is a fact. Funny that a lot of you seem to think that Sony isn't doing the same thing is hilarious. They also have an entertainment device that plays games and don't think the social/entertainment part won't be a main focus for the PS4.
But since you were spoon fed one ideology from the Sony PR and refuse to accept another you keep fooling yourselves that the PS4 will be for g...
I love the new buzz word..."INDIE".
All of a sudden people are jumping on this indie bandwagon.
Nobody and I do mean nobody cared about Indies this gen and going through the N4G archives all the indie reviews are damn near empty.
there's
Batman
Nightwing
Harly
Joker
Batgirl
Catwoman
Riddler
That is 7 batman characters. They should just call this game Batman and friends.
I agree Edonus, I think it has more to do with the reactions of fanboys than Sony.
People were quick to point out the huge differences in RAM even though a few respected developers went on the record and said the differences were miniscule.
Now that there's a rumor that both systems will use the same/close amount of RAM for games now it's "we don't care". I think certain loyalists are trying desperately hard to downplay reality especiall...
I really excited to see what else they have in store for us gamers. I hope they show the game Black Tusk has been working on, I am very curious to see what that is about. Also a little more on Quantum Break.
More Batman characters!?
Seriously...RIDDLER?!
The DLC is ridiculous in this game!
I know I am! I have been waiting patiently to see what MS has in store for their next console. With the dropping of the DRM this console is shaping up to be the best yet. And in time it'll only get better.
I am really excited to see what devs can do with the Kinect 2. Lets hope that they can really incorporate some great ideas and enhance the gameplay.
3D did not catch on as a lot of big wigs intended. It was originally intended as a gimmick to lure people into the movie theaters since nowadays people have theater quality home systems.
Since Sony has a huge stake in the movie industry they tried to capitalize on this by pushing 3D with their TV's and consoles. (Along with others)
Yes, Xbox Day One has the best games so far. Not to mention the best features any console can have.
But I mean if you want a Facebook/Twitter orientated console that constantly shows you what your friends are playing then by all means please stick with that.
Edit:
I love that the writer and submitter of this article is a raging Sony fanboy passing his bias dribble on this site.
Oh, Gaikai is out right now? Oh, what PS4 games can you play on the Vita right now?
oooops, looks like you guys are reaching.
And look how far their DAU has fallen, look how many Zynga games have been shut down, read how they're trying to shift away from Facebook and focus on Mobile. Read the current games they just released are all mid-core games not Ville games.
If you read exactly their strategy then you would know. But I guess it's easier for a complete fool like yourself to just go right into attack mode. They built it on casuals and now shifting focus on mid-core games.
The RAM debate only fitted with the Sony fanboys and their agenda in making the Xbox One look vastly inferior. Now that it seems another advantage has been taken away the N4G flip flopping is rolling through like a run away train.
Now common sense is prevailing and people are saying "it's ok, you don't need all that RAM for games" or "I buy games not RAM". The sony camp is being humbled and quieted. More and more the consoles are looking similar wh...
