PS4 like "the world’s best PC", says Epic boss
Rein made this master race-enraging comment in a GDC interview with CVG.
“I think it’s a very smart move on Sony’s behalf to build this sort of enhanced PC architecture and then put so much in it,” he said. “Let’s not forget it has 16 times the memory we had in PlayStation 3 – that’s not insignificant. Knowing that every machine has that, we can do crazy, ridiculous stuff with that.
“The other exciting thing is that when you think about Windows, even Windows for most people is tied to about 2GB of addressable memory space. This really opens up beyond what most PCs can do, because most PCs are running a 32-bit version of Windows. It’s like giving you the world’s best PC.”
Rein said many of the features Sony has announced for the console, like background downloads, are “super convenient”.
“The kind of stuff that they announced that they’re doing, the level of convenience and things like that – they’re making a really perfect gaming PC,” he said.
“I’ve always said that the things in the next-generation that aren’t just brute force hardware are all about the service and simplicity of the experience – the things that make it as fun and easy to get a PS4 game as it is to get a game on your iPad.”

polyproXxShughesxX Obviously this idiot has no idea the capabilities of a PC, hell if you know your **** well enough you can build a PC that doubles the specs of the PS4 with the same cost of what the PS3 launched at. He should probably make a statement taking back his comment, might save his reputation.
You obviously haven't built a computer lately, I finished one last night and I would have to make a lot of sacrifices to come any where near the ps3 price range at launch. There's no way you could double the ps4's performance for $599(PS3's launch price).
Btw, the PS3 launch price was closer to $1000 rather than $599

I'm just going to buy an Xbox because most people i know have an Xbox. Those new features on PS4 seem cool everything, but I'll probably use them once after I first get the ps4, then never use them again.
