I'm not being defensive at all, we are basically making assumptions based on what we think devs want. We're probably not developers, we certainly don't know the final specs, and certainly we haven't talked or heard from developers, aside from Crytek.
It's one thing to believe that Gddr5 will allow for X to be done better, but when the same people look back at the other side and only come up with "nah, that won't do anything better, and devs certainly want those 3.5GB Gddr5 to really push the graphical limits", it becomes a boring discussion.
Instead of the talk be, what can Sony do to nullify that ram advantage and what can MS do to nullify the bw advantage, it seems to always turn to how there's no way for MS and there's way way for Sony.
I'm only even buying a PS4 this year, and will only buy Xbox if it shows me something wonderful I didn't expect, and it will be next year at best. So I don't feel the need to defend my choice, I'm just genuinely excited about what these machines can be and do.
