First impressions of the Sony PlayStation 4


On the surface, the PlayStation 4 unveiling seemed very unlike Sony’s previous console announcements. There were no overexcited suits making mockeries of themselves on stage, no arrogant price points and a distinct lack of exotic, proprietary tech that serves nothing more than to bump up the price to the end user.
It would seem that Sony got it right. You wouldn’t be wrong for thinking so. The PlayStation 4 is brimming with competent tech. There’s 8GB of unified memory, a x86 CPU, 8 CPU cores, 2 teraflops computational performance, and a “Supercharged PC architecture” which essentially means it should be easier for developers to churn out gorgeous next-gen graphical goodness like a new Gran Turismo or Uncharted with ease and hopefully, less soul-crushing, last minute delays that have plagued this generation aplenty.
