GE:
Sony is making sure that the PS4 won't be full of exotic hardware. It will be powerful but easy to develop for. While this is great on one hand, it also means talented hackers and programmers will be able to wrap their heads around it and even emulate it much faster.

Your PSN and XBL being banned for life is what you are sacrificing for being a hacker and pirate.
It's no longer just about taking apart a mother board of a console and enjoying the sweets.
YOU SERVICES WILL GET REVOKED AND DESERVEDLY SO.
Hacking is more risky but emulation and downloading games is much more common and hard to stop. It mostly affects the sites that host the games, not the ones who make the emulators.
Plus emulators have always written their own version of code they cannot use the code used for the console itself so they in essence make their own. they do however use the bios.
Just like jailbreak an iPhone.when new update and new games come out, your system can't play it.
You have to give up free onlin
Plus free game need to download 50gb of data.
Thus to me it's retarded.
Just go hack a PC.
Go ahead and do that. Guess what? As soon as you get caught online . . . YOU JUST GOT THE IP BAN HAMMER FOR LIFE.
Hahaha. Those idiots would deserve it too. Support the industry, don't just be take take take!
Now that both the systems use X86 Architecture it probably will be much easier to emulate than to emulate a Cell Processor.
Much easier to emulate than PS3? Maybe. But only because PS3 games will most likely never be emulated. Making an emulator is a long and really hard work, and similar architecture does not mean easy emulation. It's not really hard for console manufacturer to fight emulation by specifically documenting API and so on. Xbox, Xbox 360 and even Linux are just plain examples.
Those architects at Sony and MS are smarter than us, they already though about it. I can bet we won't see an emulator for PS4 or next-gen Xbox for at least 10 years from now.
As well.
Your system will get stuck in the stone age.
And have fun downloading 50gb.
Ps3 has working emulator..

Hacking consoles = piracy no way around it...
Could a pc emulate an 8gb Gddr5 system?
But also wii emu never hurt wii sales in the end.
With all the troubles of getting it to work and downloading such a large game file, running a game made to run at 30-60 fps at 5-10 fps is not actually something to boast about.
First they CHEERED when they found out that the Wii U wasn't a huge leap from the PS360 because that would lead to easy emulation. Now they are CHEERING for the fact that PS4 is easy to develop for and NOT because this would mean less stress for developers, but because it would mean easy emulation and the ability to steal games.
PC gamers need to make up their minds though. They always trash consoles and their inferior games, but always beg for their exclusives to come to PC and even go as far as to emulate said "inferior" consoles and steal their "inferior" games. Why do you guys even want console games? Are PC games not enough for guys? Or do they actually pale in comparison to console's best games contrary to what you guys preach and thus why you guys are so eager to play console games illegally?
He is just another crab in the bucket.
Another death wisher
No emulator is a threat to the original.
PS2 was very easy to hack, PS3 not so much.
in the end there is a way and someone will find it!
Here if you know the right shop to approach then you can get a pirated game for 3.7 to 5.6 $
So I don't need to download
The PS2's architecture was a lot weirder (who remembers MIPS?), yet PCSX2 is fantastic - because the demand is there.
Anyhow, next gen is likely to be no different. Sony has already stated they have special codec chips for video streaming, and it's not unreasonable to assume that those could cause problems if they are in any way used within game code.
Even if chips are x86 based, they still often have specialized processes built in to them to make them more efficient at certain tasks. Then you have the whole APU setup, memory bandwidth/size issue, etc.
There's always more to emulating a console than just the single chip, at least if you want to run any actual retail software on it.

It'd just be like Sony making a Steambox.
NO
How many people have 8GB's of GDDR5 memory in their system...or even more than 4GB of DDR3? How many people have that even on their video card? Are those highly specialized codec chips built into the PS4 going to be emulated on a general purpose CPU? How much of a hit are games going to take by not having an APU setup and having to rely on the PC's system bus to transfer data?
Playing full retail games on a PC is not going to happen within 4 to 5 months, and I'd be surprised if it's even 4-5 years.
The only emulators you may see in 4-5 months are ones that boot up some sort of system post screen, which is where they all start. Sometimes this simple thing can be used to break the actual console wide open for piracy, but console emulation is never as simple as one process being replicated.
So you'll be able to emulate PS4 at about 2fps. Congrats.
No one will be emulating the PS4 well until it's not a part of the then current generation.
And at that point, who cares? Emulate old games all you want.
Great for you. And how does that equate to actual 1:1 emulation of a retail PS4 game? The PC and PS4 have vastly different architectures.
From a single chip perspective, yes the CPU/GPU/Memory can be looked at as in terms of power, speed, design, processes, etc. However, from an implementation standpoint they are nowhere close.
It's not to say one is more powerful or not as good as the other, just that they are different.
the cpu in ps4 is a mobile 1.6ghz
its super slow
the gpu is an underpowered 7850, a $120 gpu
pretty much every pc gamer has a WAY faster system already
Just like they did with the PS3? Maybe even better, without any hardware limitation.
Regarding 8GB ram and speed, don't forget how quick technology progress.
In two years 8GB GDDR5 graphics cards could be standard or even a mid range card.
And ps4 1.8 TFLOP GPU is mid range GPU by today pc standard.
We already have a half fineshed ps3 emulator runing on pc, and ps3 is complicated as hell.
But it won't be long and PC gamers will enjoy GoW or Uncharted on their pc.
Uncharted 4, killzone and other PS4 exclusives will probably be able to be ported to PC via emulation. Since the architecture is very much the same it will be more easy to emulate than PS3 cell so expect more successful emulation than current gen.
hackers ruin it for everyone. every. single. time.
