Yeah, I'm not going to buy another console at launch anymore if .5 iterations are going to be part of the status quo. I'll wait for the upgrade version.

Epic this. Well, I don't buy consoles on launch anyway, but now I will just not buy the initial version ever.

Also I'm the first to call the PS4.0 the PSPoor

When that becomes standard console grognard lingo in a year, you can all thank me

Please quote my post so in a year I can say that the guy who was the first to call the PS4.0 the PSPoor quoted me once.

My wishes for the half-generation: Nintendo: just make a normal loving controller. Microsoft: use non-hosed up ram. Sony: don't do it

Why the gently caress not.

What are the manufacturing costs of a blu-ray disk vs an SD card?

You'd be surprised what x265 can do, although you have to do the ripping/encoding yourself currently. The streaming services use H264 due to licensing/hardware compatibility (and don't even do everything that's capable of) and trend towards lower bitrates because they are far less likely to get complaints about slight macroblocking than they are about "why isn't this playing on my 5 megabit internet connection".

And av1 codec is coming in 2017 and is supposed to be better still than h.265, but free. It has Intel, AMD, Arm, Nvidia, Google, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Mozilla and Cisco on board. The only one missing is Apple, that I can think of.

Was there even a non-janky system before like the Dreamcast? I think every console up to that point was really scrub-tier hardware with really obvious deficiencies if you kept an eye on its lazy shovelware devs, but that would come together in such a way that super-nerds (e.g. Naughty Dog on PS1) could perform what was basically magic with it.

Naughty Dog continues to be quite wizardly to this day.

No Nintendo! Bad Nintendo! No gimmicks! Make a normal console with a normal controller. No VR, no waggle, no touchscreen.

Well Konami you've done it. You've taught me that nothing is sacred. Metal Gear Solid 3, one of the greatest video games on the ps2, and of all time...and...you're loving....just....you're loving....making it into goddamn this? You've taught me that anything will be sold, destroyed, and poo poo on, just for quick money. Please, just, loving dissolve into nothingness. Give away all of your companies that you own, give away of your IPs and loving die.
