Sony described its upcoming PlayStation 4 as a "supercharged" PC. Powered by familiar x86 architecture manufactured by AMD, PS4 is more like a gaming PC than any previous Sony console. However, while it may use many parts found in high-end gaming PCs, PS4 system architect Mark Cerny argues that PS4 has many unique features that separate it from today's PCs.
The premium Sony Inzone earbuds are designed for PC and PS5, and they're finally getting a discount after launching in late 2023.
Paul G Writes: "AFK Journey is a free open-world, role-playing gacha centered on creating your own team of powerful heroes. Here, you play as the reincarnation of the great mage Merlin, solving a mystery surrounding a malignant corruption.
On its surface, AFK Journey's gorgeous visuals, strategic gameplay and dynamic characters promise a wholly fun experience for new and old players alike. Journey even has a very easy pity system that makes getting rare heroes a breeze.
That said, AFK Journey still presents the usual flaws in big gacha entries, including a lack of accessibility features, bad voice direction and predatory microtransactions."
"The Brussels-based (Belgium) indie games developer DascuMaru (Jochen Mistiaen) today announced with great happiness and excitement that his retro-inspired and atmospheric horror game "The Tower on the Borderland", is coming to PC via Steam on May 20th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
If PCIE bus is such a bottleneck, going from PCIE 2.0 to 3.0 (3.0 has 2x bandwidth of 2.0/2.1) should be a huge performance gain right? but benchmarks show none/little difference

PS4 is gonna be most powerfull gaming machine !
Mark Cerny definitely broke it down really well. It may not be as powerful as the best high end pc's out there but it definitely has its "Advantages" over a high end pc and is why you will see some amazing things from the ps4 that will only benefit pc gamers because they wont have to really worry about crappy ports, if so the devs must be not doing a good job.

Does the comparative strengths / weaknesses even matter?
What I know is that there are experiences I can ONLY get on PlayStation, and experiences I can ONLY get on PC, no matter the specs.
I also know that I don't care what resolution stuff like Uncharted, GT5 etc run at, they look fantastic to me, and more importantly they play fantastically as well.
Seeing the demos Sony showed makes me excited about the potential games and services. I don't care if the PS4 is powered by a coked up hamster on a wheel. Killzone looked great and I hope it's an improvement over the previous version (I didn't like the story) - I don't care if it's running at 4k or not or that reflection are ray traced.
One thing I love about consoles is that the games I buy on Day 1 will NOT look as good as the games released after 10 years - the hardware stability allows devs to improve. The same cannot be said of a PC bought at the same time.
