Am i missing something with the Xbox One and PS4?.

Does anyone remember how the games looked when PS3 was first released? Yeah, compare them to say The Last of Us. It takes time for studios to optimise and design games for a new console. Watch how good the games look on the next gen in a year or two.

What you're missing is actually playing the ****ing thing instead of watching youtube videos.

The difference between having a PS4 in your living room on your 60 inch High Definition Plasma tv and watching a Youtube Video is like jacking off dry and getting double deepthroated by two college girls.

Well the ps4 has literally almost 20 times the computing power of a ps3. This is the largest jump of performance and capability in the history of gaming in terms of raw power.

It has 8 cores of a supercharged custom built Jaguar CPU with a max overclock frequency of 3.75 GHZ Unified with a 1000+ shader next generation Radeon GPU with a direct feed and uninterrupted access to 8 Gigs of DDR Version 5 Memory. All 3 pieces of hardware share a direct uninterrupted feed with each other in a way that no PC can duplicate. The PS4 is literally a graphics computing powerhouse.

Unless you've played a PS4 on your HDTV, you can't really judge the difference. If the graphics on youtube look similar, it's because the latest current gen Triple A titles are all using the most advanced modern game engines. As better engines and technology are created and perfected that can make full use of the PS4 capabilities, then Graphics will start looking better and better.

Make no mistake, the PS4 is a beast, and it will be able to run all the most demanding games with no performance issues, zero lag and zero loading times because of its 8 Gigs of Unified DDR5 Memory.

To charge 400 dollars for this machine is literally robbery. You would need to pay twice as much or more to get equal hardware and 5 times as much to get equal performance.

Ease up on the marketing-hype. You realize, you just described a mid-tier PC from 2012. CPU is basically AMD's mobile cpu with more cores...video card is an entry-level GPU that would set you back about $120. Not exactly stellar hardware.

Oh yea, FYI the 8GB of RAM is for the system, not dedicated to the video card...no reason to utilize 8GB of ram for such a low (1080p).
