Right when I saw the title of this thread... I was like... "Who's Timothy Lottes and why is he important?" and my question was answered in the very first sentence, ha!

My brain hurts, so much technical speak.

durango is a DVR and runs windows? O_o

So, in short, according to him, the PS4 is better atm?

This is a perfect read for all those noobs who keep saying...

"WhAt A PiEcE oF Sh11 My Pc hAs BeTtEr SpEcS ThAn ThIs I wIlL NeVeR BuY ThE NeXt GeN CoNsOlEs ThEy ArE WeAk!!!"

It annoys the living fothermucking crap out of me when people who know nothing about technology/hardware openly throw their lack of knowledge on people who do know what they are talking about. And then they still argue with you.

Its technology like Dual Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE), that will make consoles fast. Its tech like that that PC cant have. PCs will always be graphically better and more powerful, but consoles can afford to have slightly less hardware specs because of it being a closed system only mainly meant for gaming therefore can have its own special proprietary way of working with games.

he is basing his ideas on guesses so far.
until both are unveiled thats all anyone can do i guess

Consoles aren't only meant for gaming. It's sad, I know. But... Stupid Microsoft and Sony are trying to turn their consoles into all-in-one media hubs. They want their consoles to be the one-stop box which is STUPID. That is ONE thing I can credit Nintendo for. They pretty much ONLY care about gaming and are just now allowing things like Netflix to work....

Consoles should ONLY be capable of gaming. I'm talking... you turn it on, and it's immediately asking for you to insert a game. You sign into the online service and THAT'S IT. You play a game, and turn it off.

I know thats why i said mainly meant for gaming.

As I said yesterday in some other thread, sadly I can picture our grand kids giggling one day when we tell them that back in our day consoles were gaming devices only. By then it will probably be classified as a home entertainment system

He might know anti aliasing technologies...

But he knows sweet FA about DVRs.

2-3GB for DVR duties....yeah whatever mate.
XBMC can do it in about 512MB and that's including a fully featured base OS now designed specifically for any kind of specific functionality.


...I wouldn't ask the dude that invented the toilet for advice on the best brand of bleach to use either.
