Switched On: The five P's of the PS4

Throughout the history of home game consoles, it's been notoriously difficult for a leader in one generation to maintain its leadership in the next generation. Sony, for example, went from dominance of the sixth-generation console market, knocking Sega out of the hardware business as Microsoft was gearing up for the original Xbox, to a third-place finish in terms of installed base with its seventh-generation entry, the PlayStation 3. Last November, Switched On discussed how Nintendo turned its back on much of what made the Wii a success, at least in that console's early days. Sony, though, seems to have carefully studied the lessons of the PlayStation 3 and has made many changes in the PlayStation 4 to address that console's challenges.

Ehhh I would say no the cpu its not powerful at all sadly. its better than the current consoles by a large amount but not even close to a desktop cpu.

tarbis3964d ago

And a pctard elitist really needs to make the pc more important than it already is.
What's next? The video card coming out next week, or the coming months that you're gonna keep purchasing is more powerful than the current console?

What kind of Desktop?

Example: A basic desktop it wouldn't run Planetside 2 with all maxed out.

They will optimize all the cores of the CPU for the game on PS4 (something that they didn't do it and have struggles with AMD CPU's on PC with PS2) to run the game with everything maxed out on PS4

This means 1080p, at least with 30FPS with details in high on PS4, which is something great from a game like PS2 which consumes a lot of CPU and GPU performance.

With a proper optimization in the APU, I don't see a problem of it.

PS4 must have the most impressive pre-launch confirmed games list of any console in history?

Why do articles keep saying the PS3 finished in 3rd? They finished 2nd.

SoapShoes3964d ago

Yeah they are ahead of the 360... I know a lot of fanboys would argue it doesn't matter anymore but it does. If you please the people who are buying PS3s now, you'll have them satisfied enough to buy a PS4 later when they can afford one.

Virtual_Reality3964d ago

But this gen is not over yet. When they cancel the production, manufacturing and support for the last console, such as PS2, it will end.

SpinalRemains3964d ago

Stopped reading after "3rd place finish in terms of installed base"

Do you know your username means d*ck in spanish?

Ehm, the processor inside the Ps4 is NOT a CPU, it is an APU. The CPU part inside the APU may not be that powerful, but the APU as a whole is the most powerful APU AMD has EVER produced, and most likely the most powerful APU in the entire world.

Then again, neighter the Ps4 nor the Xbox one have a dedicated GPU. They do however both have a GPU inside their respective APU's.

So judging the processor's strenght depends highly on your point of view. And time will tell if they really are powerful or not.

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
