The next game console from Sony - PlayStation 4 - left-some strange feeling. Eight cores AMD Jaguar, embedded video has not the greatest performance - all this makes the company on a regular basis to explain why the PlayStation 4 - is a console, not a computer.
In the latest interview Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios Michael Denny justified, that such was the desire of game developers, and the company was forced to meet them. To develop games for the PlayStation 3 (Cell) required five times more labor than the average single-core gaming platform .
At the same time Sony representative note that on a complex set of features and functionality of the proposed console PlayStation 4 continues to be a game console, not a PC. The company will be able to block the spread of games for PlayStation 4 - it will solve the issue of sharing the new consoles. If you get a good emulator, then the company can gets into trouble. What will solve the problem? Perhaps binding consoles to the Internet.
Just a year ago, or even earlier it was said that finance development of new consoles drastically curtailed. It is doubtful that the developers would welcome edition console platform ARM.
