The thing is, when PS3 was developed, not only did it use a new architecture but there was no real manual to use the tools, so early developers had a hard time. Based on what developers have said about PS4, not only is the architecture easy to use but Sony seems to be providing support for their tools this time around, which in return makes coding for the ps4 a lot easier.
Not sure I follow your argument because I agree with you
I haven't seen anything about the PS4 being easier to develop for other than what Sony has said. And well, that's kinda biased lol. If our talking about the developer's at Sony's Press conference? Well Sony pays them to be positive towards Sony at such things! Need a 3rd party opinion.

I only mentioned specs to show that the PS3 to PS4 memory was a HUGE leap in it's capabilities! I mean 512MB to 8GB is huge. And 8GB is the now average budget PC amount of memory. I make a comparison to PS4 to PC because, again, it points out how much of a leap consoles are making! It's basically a (at this point in time) a high end PC!
Which was the same thing when PS3 came out. (except the memory).

This is why I say the memory size IS a big deal in the console wars! It has limited what the consoles could do up until now!
Plus it's foolish to say that Sony didn't provide tools for the PS3. They did, that didn't get around the difficulty software developers had in programming for it!

So I'm a tad skeptical when Sony "says" that it's easier to develop for.
But hey, I'm a Sony fan too. I'm not dogging them. It's just the same song and dance we have all heard before.

In 2 yrs time PC's will have caught up to consoles and the cycle will continue all over again! (Queue the PC is dead for gaming debates) lol
