@Morphine_OD Even RAM speed is less important than CPU/GPU. It's a tertiary spec for all the people who know nothing about technology to drool over like a bunch of morons.
If they want to be more accurate, they could say that the PS3 is like a $400-500 PC of 2014-2015, because it is likely to beat PCs in terms of performance-per-dollar for a while.
But come on... the marketing around this system has been even more of an epic facepalm than the Cell processor was for the PS3 years ago. ZOMG 8GB GDDR5!!!11!!1!
@Divad222 @The_Beanster @andrescapo_ It's fun while it lasts, it just doesn't last long. If you can pick it up for like $30, don't set your expectations too high, and don't compare it to its predecessors at all, you'll probably enjoy it a lot.
@andrescapo_ Sadly I expect the answer is yes... there's a lot of people who don't ever game on PC and they will want to try this out. Makes me sad, because this is what they're going to judge "PC gaming" by, and it's one of the worst examples out there of a "PC game".
