So this thread has popped up on NeoGaf:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=634711

Long and the short of it is that tomorrow Eurogamer is posting an article about something "dramatic" regarding the PS4's memory, something seemingly dramatic enough that apparently Sony pressured Eurogamer to keep quiet about it until tomorrow due to them (Sony) needing to prepare a statement in response.

Any guesses as to what the bomb's going to be?

No it's simple guys. For the PS4 to work it requires Twinkies to not be produced anywhere in the world. Since production is back up for Twinkies the PS4 will no longer work.

Sony did not pressure them but rather wants to comment the right way to this. And if you are a good journalist you wait for a companies response.

I think it's just going to be along the lines of how much RAM they were expecting to have to make the consoles. Maybe there was a delay on the amount that was promised by Sony's distributor.

Chances are its a downclock of the memory.

Nothing major.

If its even something major. OR OS taking more Ram.

I don't really care if its some lowering of the promised specs, would be disappointing but not a deal breaker. Maybe it's something good?

Just don't want a delay or to find out that best buy can't honor my pre order because they found out that Sony can't deliver enough systems.

That wouldn't make sense though because amazon opened up pre orders for bundles again.

Probably a fab problem that needs to be worked out with the manufacturer, might just potentially cut the supply chain availability down a bit.

Sony inadvertently used up all the memory and we're on the verge of a memory apocalypse. A Mempocalypse.

I like to browse GAF as much as the next guy, but ya'll need to stop acting like every little thing they discuss is gonna lead to a bombshell. At the end of the day it's a videogame forum and they have as many dumb fanboys jumping to conclusions as anywhere else. That thread proved as much. Console wars bring out the worst and Neogaf is no exception.

I mean for fuck's sakes man, this thing was debunked before you even made the thread.

Sony, in an effort to compete with The Cloud, has figured out a way to harness the earth's molten core to offload AI routines. Phil Fish has been tapped to make the announcement tomorrow morning.

I read that as "trapped" at first.

GDDR5 is expensive and hard to obtain in large quantities. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony are having issues meeting their production targets because of this. But I doubt that they would backtrack to using GDDR3 after how much they've touted the superior memory as a major feature of the PS4. Then again judging from the Xbox One news of the last couple of months I guess anything can happen.

PS4 doesn't need to be always online but you need to hook it up to a stationary bike and always be pedaling. The faster you pedal the better the graphics.

So, I ain't readin' 2000 posts, especially if this thread went the way I think it did...

Is this an apt summary of this thread?

- Nebulous tweet from some duder who thinks there might be "bad news" on the horizon for Sony.

- Thread gets posted.

- Anti-Sony fanboys come flocking in full of glee and smiles.

- News turns out to not be a reduction of RAM.

- Anti-Sony fanboys scamper back off into the woods, editing posts left and right

- PS4 is architecturally the same as we thought it was last week

This guy from neogaf got it right.
