SE making a mistake not waiting for ps4?

[Zumi]

Leaked PS4 specs say
CPU: AMD 8 core @ 1.6 ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon 7970m
RAM: 4GB of GDDR5
Blu-Ray Drive

Its pretty much going to be just like a PC so if SE really wanted to I am sure porting it to PS4 won't be an issue. But when it does come it will be expensive not too many people will have one at launch.

If the RAM is to be believed that will be nice! That's equivalent to low end PC catagory, except it's GDDR5! about time HD gaming platform got the memory it needs to show HD textures

Wow, assuming that this pans out, and also assuming they don't try to stuff a bloated OS on there, that thing is going to be a beast.

Last I herd it was going to be 8gb but might be the lesser ddr3.

Some crazy rumors are out too that it can support 4k display @60hz but good luck finding a tv to work with for a decent price.

Well. if the 4-8GB is to be believe for the RAM it will be necessary to have that much RAM if it's going to do 4K display gaming! and ouch on 60Hz Still new tech though so not surprised!
Going to have slightly blurry screens on 4K screens until they can get that refresh rate up!

4k will be only video on the PS4. The GPU of the PS4 isn't powerful enough to render games at 4k based off the rumored specs. Games will logically render at 1080p then upscale. I think 4 GB is cutting it short because the ram is shared between the GPU and OS.

As long as they keep the OS nice and slim, it should be fine. I suppose it depends on how heavily they're going to buy in to the new "consoles are the computers of the living room" idea.

4 GB ram would definantly be a huge improvement over PS3's 256mb ram lol. And coupled with an 8 core processor, can even get some multi-tasking done on the console. They wanted PS3 to be a 'Computer entertainment system' but it just didn't have the specs to beat even laptops :/. PS4 sounds to be the real CES

they are already too many ps3 consoles out on the market and whats better for franchise of SE is do it on ps3 cause has more market to sell out copys and where they has to track the clients is making a Beta vercion of the game playable for ps3 for 1month free on a Test server... soo everyone can tryout the game to know if buy it the copy soo give a test for free for 1month but open a Test Server only for betas on ps3 soo this wont alter economy on any server, also give the people the option to buy it truw the playstation store soo they dont have to extress out geting a copy of the CD...

for SE a note: you can use the algoricmic that uses pss Playstation Store... to keep track of hows use and install game from all playstations on the world that way prevented to anyone try download and install the beta vercion as many times they want.... that way they can only download and play for free once! for only 1month and if game stability runs like PC Alpha verccion im pretty sure if 30% to 60% of the people how try beta will buy a copy

I read it was likely to bump up to 8GB by release to match up with the new xbox which is has specs stating 8GB but other specs are lower over all.

as for waiting to release FFXIV until PS4 I would say that would be a very bad move, you say 4 months max? not likely, PS4 is estimated to be out for Christmas. Key issues.

delay to remake for PS4 which dev kits are barely out for and they have been working on the PS3 version for probably over a year. (I have no direct info for time on this but it's a guess.)

right now they have sold over 70 million PS3s, so it's a system tons of people have, PS4 it will take some time before you will see them as common, mainly due to Sony's common release price of like $600+ per system as start price what this one will be who knows, but it won't be no $200- that the PS3 is that is affordable for the average household.

Also if information is correct sony states it will be incredibly easier to program for the PS4 so yes converting it isn't out of the question but sales will not be decent until enough PS4 units are out there.
