"Inside the PS4 is, essentially, a specialized mid-range gaming PC. There’s an 8-core AMD Jaguar/Kabini x86-64 CPU, a Radeon 7870-derived GPU with 18 compute units (vs. Xbox One’s 12 CUs), and 8GB of unified GDDR5 RAM. The only standout feature here is the RAM, which provides both the CPU and GPU with 176GB/sec of unified (shared) memory. As always, though, it’s unfair to directly compare a console’s hardware with the PC equivalent — in reality, once developers write code that specifically targets the PS4′s hardware, we should see performance and visuals that compare to your top-end gaming PC. (Read: Xbox One vs. PS4 vs. PC: How the hardware specs compare.)"

PCs can't handle the new engine? Haha.... ok then!
So the PS4 and Xbox One are super computers then?

Like I said, weak reasoning at best... I actually wonder just how stupid they think we are
Anyways, clearly, I won't be buying any FIFA games for a while

Lo, ya dude. A slap in the face to gamers in general. Everytime I read stuff like this, I come closer and closer to stop supporting EA games. Including BF4.

I know, before they announced the PC exclusion I was amped to get 2 games with shiny new engines (FIFA 14 and BF4), then after the announcement I was so close to saying screw it to both games
Meh... I guess BF4 looks too promising at the moment, but I am very close to stopping all future EA game purchases.

Then my advice would be not to respond to threads talking about articles.

Sigh. Yeah, well, the problem is that EA owns some of the coolest development studios. And the new C&C Generals is going to be sooo damn awesome
. I really want to stop supporting these damn companies that rip people off.That's the only way to stop their bullshittery. Or at least, don't buy the specific games they're trying to milk you with. And this crap about their new engine not supported on the PC? Yeah, probably to force people to get consoles and pay double the price for the games for a while until they "think" they made enough out of us.
Haha, such a moronic and infantile mindset. These guys think they are so damn clever, but calling it deception would be a compliment. What idiots. Really! Makes me laugh sometimes, but it's actually really sad.

Yeah, that's the worst thing, the fact that they have so many cool Dev Studios in their corner... But when push comes to shove, I'm not going to pay for a product they purposely gimped in order to inflate the sales numbers for another platform.

For damn sure man.
Whilst reading this article, for some reason, this video came to mind: (slighty off topic, but relevant to the discussion
