"The PS4 has been praised by Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios. Avalanche chief technical officer Linus Blomberg believes that the PS4 is the perfect fit for open-world games and will outperform PCs for the foreseeable future.   &amp;quot;The consoles desperately need a boost since having been overtaken in terms of performance by PCs several years ago, and also losing market share to mobile platforms,&amp;quot; Blomberg told Gaming Bolt. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m glad Sony decided to go with 8GB RAM because it means that the PS4 will out-power most PCs for years to come. &amp;quot;The off-the-shelf philosophy behind the architecture makes sense from a pricing and heating point of view, but it also means that Sony more easily can make incremental improvements of their system. &amp;quot;If that&amp;#039;s actually their plan I don&amp;#039;t know, but it could help preventing the inevitable loss of market shares that the long console cycles entails.&amp;quot; Blomberg also praised Sony&amp;#039;s business model, which combines high-end gaming with the best social elements of mobile devices. &amp;quot;The PS4 will not only be a very powerful gaming machine from a hardware perspective, but it will also be a social tool and integrated marketplace more akin to the successful mobile devices,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the best of all worlds in a way; great performance for demanding high-end gaming, good social ecosystem and connectivity, and integrated business marketplace. &amp;quot;For Avalanche Studios as an open-world games developer this is super exciting and opens up many new opportunities. It&amp;#039;s a perfect fit for the types of games we do, and we are confident that we&amp;#039;ll bring open-world gaming to a whole new level because of it.&amp;quot; Gallery - PlayStation 4:  Unveiled in February, the PS4 has been compared to a &amp;quot;supercharged PC&amp;quot;. It features an x86 CPU, enhanced PC GPU and 8GB RAM. Sony has since opened official websites for the PS4, which contain trailers, images, specifications and more. The firm recently confirmed a 4K movie download service and digital availability for all of its PS4 games, similar to the PlayStation Vita. Wedbush Equity analyst Michael Pachter recently predicted that Microsoft would win the next-generation war, although both consoles are expected to sell a similar number of units. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s ongoing coverage of PlayStation 4 Watch a video introducing the PS4 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
