Rumor: PS4 50% More Powerful Than Xbox 720

[Atmos Duality]

hypothetically if this was true, I'd be inclined to believe that Sony still hasn't learned anything from the PS3

They've learned the world is full of nails, and their head is the closest thing they have to a hammer.
From the heights of the PS2 to the lows of the Vita.
I don't think Sony has picked up on the fact that having the best hardware alone cannot hack it.

I like to think that the Sony and Microsoft development teams are sitting in a room laughing their asses off as they submit rumors to various websites. Meanwhile drinking a couple beers and discussing the relatively minor differences between their systems, and how idiots will argue over the two and possibly buy both(Regardless of the fact that most games are released on both platforms).

But will the games be good?

That's the only question I had. Hardware is nothing without software.

I usually purchase both the Playstation and the Xbox over time, this was due to the Metal Gear series, but with all the anti used games nonsense, I will probably just build a new PC and buy neither! The industry feels they can simply get all their core gamers back, and it is not the case. Unless you have something like replay ability and an ability for gamers to sell used games and buy newer ones. Its a flop out of the gate. Sales will be sluggish and lower than expected, until consoles really get outdated probably over the next 3 of 4 years. I can upgrade my pc anyways those over the long term. Heck my computer is about 8 years old! It still keeps up with tech, because tech hit a wall!
