it is just a guess based on nvidia/intel being gougers and not offering price value. i just have faith that Cerny did the best he could.
I don't know what people expected...….Intel certainly didn't have a low power alternative to offer against jaguar......and how much would intel sell Sony a 2 core 4T cpu for a 2013 launch? Farless a 4 core CPU, which was what their i7's led with at the time...…..The power draw on that thing would be ridiculous...….Jaguar was the only option for consoles, and Sony was good enough to work with AMD so they could finally have low power high end CPU's for their next consoles.....According to JimQuisition….."Thank God for AMD".....
Funny enough the same people saying jaguar and PS4 was shit when it launched, want expensive console hardware in name, but will go on forums declaring how Sony is off their rockers with a $600 pricetag...……"$299" and they just may consider purchasing one......

Quoting myself from earlier in this thread. You can see how Richard is actually a massive MS shill, and that was even before MS money.
Fucking clown Lol.
This is POTY right there (Post of the Year)…….You probably missed a few choice quotes from the "most balanced console article" however...….Regardless, perhaps what would be most enlightening is if you get some quotes from when Project Scorpio debuted...….and how enthusiastic Rich was about the same 40% raw hardware
uplift, the same 40% higher resolutions etc......I'm not sure I've heard the term "pretty much
like for like in visuals and rez" past circa November 2017...….
Quite evident when you read his interview with the MS Xbox One tech guys and when they invited them in for the Xbox One X deep dive. Former case “oh 40% more raw performance advantage does not matter because... hw customisations” and in the latter “HW customisations do not matter, when you have a >=40% raw performance advantage”... even Jaguar instead of being the same just clocked a bit higher than on the PS4 Pro it was a magically customised x86 core in the comparison specs sheet.
Richard routinely takes rumours from one side and finds the least positive angle possible and from the other side the most optimistic way to look at things... he is not the impartial one there.
Precisely...…..How about that DX12 hardware we heard would change the game and how "huge it was"....It was a big talking point just prior to Scorpios's launch in late 2017..
Richard600?
The whole 8TF thing started as a joke/downplay from MS employee Albert Penello.
DF run with it and this is why it’s still mentioned today.
Most games are gonna be cross-gen'd for like 3 to 3 & a half years Where do you get these numbers? PS360 were dropped like a rock after 1 year. At most they will keep getting COD and sports games for a couple of years.

Naturally they would...…...Yet, 8TF wont be anything as impressive next gen.....
I happen to think if PRO was released in 2017, it would be an 8TF GPU as Cerny specified for native 4k with last gen assets...….
Yes I remember Leadbetter being a big MS supporter back then.
Actually, Richard was a huge Sega Supporter......He worked on Sega Saturn Magazine and the Official Dreamcast Magazine...…....Most of the DC guys became XBOX fans because Sega had a huge partnership with OG XBOX, (all those Sega titles on XBOX).....remember Peter Moore and what happened there?...…So he just moved on from Sega to MS simply because he followed on to his deep-rooted origins........He followed Sega and it's games....
It might even be possible that Richard was in fact "Lazy 8's".....
