The remainder, 3GB, is to be used as the system's OS and other processes. The current Xbox 360 has 512MB of DDR3 RAM. PS4 uses GDDR5 which runs CONSIDERABLY more bandwidth. To put it simple: PS4 has this advantage. The issue is we don't know (as a public) how they are used. (Interesting comparision here: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/156273-xbox-720-vs-ps4-vs-pc-how-the-hardware-specs-compare) <br /><br />I think what people are doing right now is reactionary. Many people are bound in the now, as would be expected. They are still having fun with their current generation of games and at the same time are excited for the potential benefits a next generation can bring. Unfortunately most do not observe that this level of change is going to come with many differences. One example is to improve the new consoles are using X86 architecture. As this is NOT the PowerPC architecture that is currently in use, your old games wont work.<br />Most people don't "care" about the why. They only care their current state is changing when they're not ready to let it go. The reactions we are seeing are in part due to missteps by the console creators as well as the ignorance the public in general has over the processes that businesses must go through to achieve such ends. <br /><br />The good news is, as with every console cycle, the information will get to the people and their reactions will be solidified or cancelled. Two months prior to the launch, the majority will know what they want and as the dust settles, all we'll see is the mud flinging and slinging of the Fanboy Elites in anger. They are important to the ecosystem as the common gamer. It's just difficult to tolerate blind faith in any environment. -Adam Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820345303421450204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687705155694722220.post-47728157930290911922013-06-02T16:32:11.995-07:002013-06-02T16:32:11.995-07:00What do you mean by Xbox One 5:3?
I'm a littl...What do you mean by Xbox One 5:3?<br /><br />I'm a little more optimistic about Xbox One than many of the people I hear claiming that it is the death of Xbox. But I still have to wonder what Microsoft is planning. The biggest fear I have is not that Microsoft will "ruin" Xbox but that many gamers will perceive that they have done so and the community and my community will suffer.Donald Sinatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976573386762513473noreply@blogger.com
