This was expected after Microsoft played spoil sport with their decisions.They better have some good contingency plans.

“If You go With 4GB of GDDR5″ RAM on PS4, “You Are Done,” Randy Pitchford Told Sony

According to Adam Boyes (Publishing VP of SCEA), Gearbox Software ( Borderlands franchise) was responsible for 8gb GDDR5 ram inclusion in PS4, as opposed to the original plans of a 4GB unit.
At last, everyone was glad about the final decision. :)



Cliffy B: Numbers Don’t Work to Allow Used Games, “Disc Based Day one $60 Model is Crumbling”

This guy does have a point, from a pure industry sense and not consumer satisfaction.



Next-Generation Consoles Sized-Up

PS4 is the smallest. :)

Awesome, good guy Randy Pitchford, even though I absolutely hate him for what he did to AliensCM.

EA: "We don't have a problem with second-hand sales as they are today"

We’ve known Microsoft’s thoughts on next-gen DRM enforcement (to leave it up to individual publishers) for a while now, but Sony only recently confirmed that it won’t be having any of it. However, the fact still stands that Sony cannot prevent third-party publishers from restricting the use/sale of their games, so there’s still a bit of a gray area. Luckily, that gray area has become a bit clearer thanks to a statement from EA (via Eurogamer) that at least partially details their thoughts on the infamously draconian DRM.

Patrick Söderlund, EA Games Label boss, recently clarified that EA doesn’t “have a problem with second-hand sales as they are today. We clearly articulated our stance when we abandoned the Online Pass.” On the subject, Söderlund explained that the decision to terminate the Online Pass system was “because we talked to people, our fans and our players, and they said, ‘Listen, we don’t want to play our games like this.’ We have to listen to them and we removed it. It’s that simple.”

It seems EA aren't playing spoil sport in this regard. Hopefully, Activision and Ubisoft follow along the same lines.

They're lying.

They don't need the online pass anymore, now that they make everyone use Origin.

Perhaps the situation will be better on the consoles though.

Activision won't be concerned about used games. With the kind of money they make out of call of duty, they really don't have to care.

Amazon Holds PS4 vs Xbox One Vote, PS4 Winning By Embarrassingly Insane Ratio

Sony raising sales projections for PlayStation 4

Pre-orders are growing at an insane pace. Perhaps the pricing and the no DRM schemes are the biggest crowd pullers.


PS4 To Offer Cloud Integration To All Developers

PS4 developers will be able to offload some computing calculations to remote servers through the cloud, Sony’s worldwide studios president has said.
Much like the cloud capabilities that have been touted by Microsoft for the Xbox One, Shuhei Yoshida confirmed to Polygon that developers can offload certain processes usually handled by the hardware itself, such as AI and physics calculations.
