Which was pretty much bullshit, there is no 4K blue ray player on PS4Pro and Deep Down never saw the light of day.
We can choose parts that became true and parts that didn't. Games get canceled pretty often, or enter development hell and Deep Down was one of them.
Regardless, before release a lot of things seemed to be still pretty much up in the air.
He says they were trying to keep the console at $399, which is what happened. After that meeting, ideas might have been shelved to keep that price point, such as adopting the UHD drive.
The GPU is on point, by claiming 2x PS4 + higher clocks, as well as claiming there would be no boost mode at launch:
It was also made very clear that current games would not be getting any type of performance upgrades by being played on the system and any benefits to older games would come via patch per game and per developer. When asked if this was going to happen the response was "Its a possibility but doubtful with the exception of a handful of games."
Not only is it relatively wrong, especially part about CPU upgrade 6 months before console is coming out

Oh right, here it is:
Well, our own Proelite has posted relatively correct specs back in June 2012.

I mean, wide of the mark, perhaps, but

There's also some people who really,

Perhaps because if their platform of choice has the prettier graphics / framerates, its chances of selling more units are higher and then they get to secure more interesting exclusivity deals. (Though it seems we're leaving the era of exclusivity deals and entering the era of not-on-my-direct-competitor deals, since the PC is bound to get them all.)
Not to mention faster console = bigger ePeen, of course.
