Starfox on the snes had terrible framerate drops, I believe the snes was sold more then a million times but hey, I dont know the exact numbers.

Ah, for anything higher than your monitor’s resolution, yes. For the applications and uses being discussed, no. To capture uncompressed 1080p RGB24, you need at least a RAID0 pair of HDDs (or single SSD) and a decent CPU. Not to mention the software of course, like DXtory or Bandicam.
That’s not to say a dedicated capture card like AverMedia’s Live Gamer HD (or Portable for consoles) isn’t useful. It’ll definitely reduce the strain on your PC at the very least.

Most of what you said is based on rumors and they’re both consoles , they’re doing the same thing , run games the same way and in the same quality , I really don’t understand what you people are arguing about such thing , it’s going to be like the Xbox 360 and the PS3 , both have unnoticeable differences , same graphics , same stuff all around .(except for the OS , Blu-ray discs and the internet connection methods)

Actually , both are going to use x86 architecture not 64 .

And still combining speeds of DDR3 and esram its still slower than GDDR5 + Xbox one will reserve 3GB of RAM to OS and apps, while PS4 only 1GB

To everyone saying that PC is better:

Im long time PC user and only console I had was PS2 (GREAT EXCLUSIVES) How many times you crashed to desktop, had BSoD, Driver issues, bad framerate, DRM issues? Does ANY console (that sold more than million units) got these problems? Theres no problems in games, problem is in operating system, windows kernel is repetitive and with only some changes since Windows NT (1993), losing compatibility over time (How much old applications are compatible with Windows 7?) while Linux kernel can even run UNIX applications without (or with minimal) hassle. What I think: When GNU/Linux will be used as gaming operating system, consoles will no longer exist (or will be in minimal quantities)

PS: GNU/Linux is already leading in: Servers, Supercomputers, Mobiles (Android is GNU/Linux) and since release of Windows 8 its growing much faster than before!

Actually both consoles are going to have x86-x64 cpu’s, basically they are both going to be 64-bit.

The only real difference in specs which should differentiate these consoles is the fact that the PS4 has 8GB GDDR5 ram whereas the Xbox One has 8GB DDR3 ram (not official) so the Xbox isn’t as good as the PS4 here but it does have 32MB ES ram to catch up but that isn’t good enough.
Also the PS4′s GPU has 18 Compute Units and is 1.84 TFLOPS whereas the Xbox has only 12 Compute Units and is 1.2 TFLOPS (not official).
Also on the PS4 there is a custom chip (most likely a ARM cpu) that can handle OS tasks (and maybe the whole OS?) so it looks like the cpu will be specifically for games and heavy usage tasks and in an interview with a EA staff member they said that its great to have access to all the ram (or something like that) meaning that maybe the full 8GB ram can be used by the games whereas on the Xbox One it is rumored to have 4GB of its ram allocated to the OS (rumor) because of multitasking and background stuff. So as you can see the PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One but you know developers might not harness all that power and maybe the games will look exactly the same.

PC + PS4 = PROFIT
