PS 4 officially a Supercomputer (in Japan)

Not sure if anyones read this but in Japan any computer that can output more than 1.5 teraflops is considered a supercomputer.

In Japan every computer with a computational performance over 1.5 teraflops is considered a “supercomputer” and goes under special regulations for procurement (purchase, rental and lease) by institutions and similar entities. It’s worth mentioning that the document identifies 300 megaflops as the threshold, but that’s because it was initially drawn in 1990. The limit has been raised several times since, up to 1.5 teraflops in 2005.
Guess what’s another machine that goes well over the 1.5 teraflops threshold? The PS4, with its GPU capable of providing 1.84 teraflops. On the other hand the Xbox One is just under that threshold, reaching 1.33 teraflops under its glossy black hood.

Another thing I've learned (might be old new) is the xbox side of Microsoft is 2 Billion in dept with other parts of the business holding it up.

All the resolutiongate, bad press, PS4 beating it on raw specs, a fucked up xbox one presentation concentrating on a multimedia system not a core games machine, the DRM the list goes on can it get worst for Microsoft?

I brought out the 10' pole, but I'm still not touching this one!

I think MSFT will be just fine. XB1 won't sink the ship.

No matter what happens with the XB1 or the Xbox brand, Microsoft isn't going anywhere any time soon. I hope the XB1 does well... it wouldn't be the same without all the hostility between PS and XB fans.

Nuke is officially a giant (in Japan)

And DOA is officially a giant.... Wait for it....

The people who chose to ignore this are going to be quite surprised come launch day. Don't say we didn't tell ya.
