So? It would need to be four times as powerful to play current PS4 1080 games at 4K.

I remember when console tards used to claim they were superior to PC gaming because they could use the same shitbox for 8 years. Now they're proud of being able to buy the same overpriced brick every year :dork:

The consumer market since I was kid seems that have gotten even more stupid, which when considering it was pretty bad is quite shocking. Fucking phones and disposable shit.



Pretty much sums it up

Built obsolescence. Annual iphone releases paved the way for "Smart" TVs and even car manufacturers to adopt the same business strategy.

Aye pretty much. It's something the neighbors used to do with getting new cars and new double glazing n shit, business men with watches or American Psycho with business cards. Keeping up with the trend kind of thing. It's good that it drives technology like but it's still retarded, I think the dawn of the mobile phone paved the way for it to be so common place though.

I always remember it prevalent in the car industry though - they'd try anything to come up with a USP to get buyers to bite and trade in. Once they offered financing (Citroen ?) they could shift disposable shit by the truckload and just carry on the charge for the next upgrade by keeping a rolling debt.

A single GTX 1080 is twice the price of a console and can't consistently get 60fps on the latest games at 4K on superior hardware which means console idiots are paying premium for compressed texture packs and a locked framerate thinking it's actual 4K. Gimped graphics aside, the majority of these so-called 4K remaster and re-releases aren't even worth playing but omg 4K 4K 4K!!!

Consoles are to gaming what religion is to civilization.

Yeah but car manufacturers intentionally hold back the tech so that they can spread it out in yearly releases. Remember your 2015 Shitbox 5000? The 2016 model has the horn on the dashboard! Remember your 2016 Shitbox 5000? The 2017 model has the horn in the middle of the steering wheel! Hey, throw out your Shitbox 5000 because the Shitbox 6000 is here and it's got smart windshield wipers! Hell, Nvidia gimps their top of the line video cards just so the ultra-super double-the-price version can seem more powerful in comparison.

I know it's a business and they'll continue to thrive this way as long as morons keep supporting them. I think it's unethical and leads to massive amounts of waste and needless production.

I'm mad.

Same way how cults and religions survive their controversies: loyal, brainwashed piles of protoplasm shuffling along a conveyor belt.

Remember when they launched their own map app? "NAH APPLE MAPS IS WAY BETTER THAN GOOG--*drives into ravine*

I ran Ubuntu exclusively for about a year and a half before I broke down and got WIndows 7. I missed playing games for a while there. :(

The biggest disappointment I have with this is that it could have been the perfect media machine which would have been great for playing games on. They've shat on that with a lack of optical out and a lack of UHD Bluray. Way to drop the ball, Sony.

Why would Sony sell a ps4 with 4K blu-Ray support when their 4K blu-Ray player cost twice as much? Saw this coming a mile away.

Didn't Sony strap a DVD player on the ps2 despite being ridiculously expensive at the time ?, and/or for Bluray ?. I remember people buying playstations cos it was a cheaper alternative to the player.
