From what I understand allowing just anyone to make an accessory that interfaces with the system is a possible security issue. I know the older handheld systems had this problem and these 3rd party devices were often used to run pirated software

Could you imagine if the movie studios demanded that blu-ray/DVD player makers build in an anti "used" disc solution and demand a cut of every used DVD or blu-ray movie sold.

I'm thinking more like Onlive http://reviews.cnet.com/consoles/onlive-microconsole/4505-10109_7-34390907.html

Without a high quality connection and high bandwidth it won't do anything to improve graphics for the system. Graphics tasks need bandwidth and typical household internet connections would be worse than using DDR1 as ram.

An extra tiny pool of ram for devs to deal with is nothing compared to a history of strange system architectures.

Possibly it is more about pleasing the publishers than punishing everyone for the actions of few.

They are both the same as far as ease of programming goes. At this point it is about who the publishers believe will sell the most consoles.

In response to Raansu about the low cpu frequency. It seems Sony worked with AMD to create a customized GPU that is able to remove work from the CPU onto the GPU itself without taking away in performance from graphical tasks. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-inside-playstation-4

It may be due to security and piracy reasons. MS doesn't want their next xbox to be mod central. Total lockdown.

The difference between sony and ms is much greater than current systems. Also Re5 running on the same graphics card achieved almost double the frame rate on the gddr5 version. It will all come down to which system becomes the lead platform.

Jonathan Blow is predicting a lot of scenarios where a game on one machine is 60fps and 30fps on the other. Very possible if PS4 becomes the lead platform.

I was trying to find the appropriate link first. Basically these days cpu power matters a lot less concerning games. Tasks like physics and animations that would normaly take up the entire amount of threads available would take less than a tiny fraction of resources from a modern gpu. It is...

Yes actually!

Probably at the cost of the kinnect 2.0 shipping with every console. That remains to be seen. Most devs are already on the Microsoft platform and what will determine the lead platform going into next gen is what the devs/publishers predict to be the market share leader. The new disc DRM system...

Devs are already talking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Blow https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/337228544394543105

Did you see the Digital Foundry article I posted? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-spec-analysis-xbox-one Aside from the ram situation the AMD gpu has 50% more CU cores in the PS4. Also see my post about RE5 running on DDR3 vs GDDR5)

Anyone taking a gander as how team ninja will deal with doa6 considering the disparity between the 3 consoles this gen?
