Definitely. In this generation PS4 seems to be the console with fewest quirks no embedded DRAM. Just raw power."
Hahahahaha, that's the corniest but best thing ever!

Ummm....Nobel Prizes are not awarded based upon, nor influenced by geopolitical dominance.

It was short and sweet for him, but for the rest of us, we got a good chuckle.

We can only speculate. It's plausible though that a game that relies heavily on GPU compute would struggle on the Xbox One having been designed around the PS4's greater ability to handle compute.
Digital Foundry, for example, did not think it could be done on Xbone, but that was just their opinion.
However, we know for a fact the PS4 can do it. The Xbone... who can say. If any PS4 title cannot be done on Xbone though, it'll be one like Resogun that relies so heavily on GPU compute.

Well I'm sure he'd love to reply, but I believe he's just earned himself a new tag.

I didn't mean to imply that he was wrong about the capability of American engineers. I was pointing out that he was wrong about the Xbox being the more capable console.
Funny that you took it that way, though, especially given I pointed out that the lead engineer for ps4 is American.

I keep seeing this belief put forwards. I still do not understand the basis for it.

This argument is silly and I'm not taking any sides, but I will say that even though population is a factor, it should also count. Quality vs quantity eh? Well lets have a talk with Nintendo during the N64 vs PSX era and see how that turned out for them
More 3rd party devs = more chances to get great games even if a high percentage are turds. Getting 20 good games out of 80 vs 5 games out of 12 may look better for Nintendo percentage wise, but 20 good games is still better than 5 good games.
We're talking about the country after all, not whether if people are smarter or better on average. Strength in numbers! Where do China and India stand btw?

argument? it's clearly a playful joke. I mean, smokydave knows america is the best country on earth.This argument is silly and I'm not taking any sides, but I will say that even though population is a factor, it should also count. Quality vs quantity eh? Well lets have a talk with Nintendo during the N64 vs PSX era and see how that turned out for them
(this is a playful joke too)
not really
America has a huge population
315million - 247 Laureates born in the U.S.A.
63.7m - 79 Laureates born in the United Kingdom
81m - 74 Laureates born in Germany
65.7m - 49 Laureates born in France
That tells more of a story.

Thanks for that
It wasn't though. The TV was showing footage from Elysium. It seems like he cut a portion of the image and overlaid it on top of the Banderas gif with very low opacity. The reflection doesn't quite match up because of that, but there is no other way to do that so I think it's brilliant.

Fantastic! This is going to get so much use lol! Oh wow even simulated a reflection on the TV!

Sony has more 3rd party devs than Nintendo... sound familiar? What's next? the only reason why we have an advantage in wars is because we have better weapons?

Luxembourg has the highest GDP and GNP, per Capita. However, a country's economic power and influence is measured by aggregate total, not on a per Capita basis.
My cousins in the U.K. should be rightfully proud that they have such a high number of Nobel Laureates, as a percentage of their total population.
However, by that measure, the island nation of St. Lucia holds the number one spot, and Luxembourg #2. But I don't think anyone would argue these countries are epicenters for human advancement and achievements in science and technology. No offense, St. Lucia and Luxembourg.

I couldn't seriously hate on the country that created the Dodge Hemi Dart and Coco Austin.
Y'all do need to step your game up though

It is arguably an interesting statistic. So, taking it to the limit, which (according to you), should tell the most complete story...then St. Lucia WINS!
Which is great, because they have fantastic beaches, and make some damn fine dark rum.
But in all seriousness, as of 2012, the USA represents 48% of the combined world countries, in terms of Nobel prizes awarded in the Physical Sciences. Note that this statistic includes countries such as China and India, which combined together constitute 37% of the world's human population.

If there is a significant difference it will be apparent in launch window games.
How far can we take this? Let's find out.
Dont take offense
- Its just to put it in perspective of population, im just watering down that 247 number a little

Ok, now let's compare the US and Sweden (because that's where I live) by laureates per capita, which is utterly more fair given the wide range of population sizes we're dealing with here.
US: 247 laureates from a population of 316,668,567 = 1 laureate per 1,282,059 people.
Sweden: 28 laureates from a population of 9,555,893 = 1 laureate per 341,282 people.
Sweden has 3.76 times more laureates per capita than the US. So yes, while you are the leaders in sheer numbers (you do have about 33 times the population of Sweden), the picture changes when you make the comparison more fair. Any given Swede is 3.76 times more likely to be a laureate than any given American.
Sorry for adding to this off-topic talk, just felt like I had to address it.

I mentioned it in an above post, but it's not a real reflection. You'll notice that the reflection shows the palm of his hand. It's just the right side of the screen overlaid on the Banderas gif. That being said, the reason people haven't noticed that is because it's such a well-made gif and the reflection adds so much to it.
I definitely spent some time inspecting it, thinking, "how did he do that??"
