I put myself in the shoes of Crystal Dynamics who will next year be be launching Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4 after Uncharted 4 and where the technical comparisons are going to numerous. Now ask yourself, is that fair?
Prelaunch I actually think Sony did a fair (in the truest sense of the word) job. The decision to include 8Gb GDDR5 was "last minute" in hardware development terms but it's not as though Sony couldn't have prepared first party studios for the possibility but no, everybody was in the dark until Mark Cerny said "8Gb" at the PS4 reveal on 22nd February 2013.
I firmly believe that when one company controls the platform (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony etc) and also compete with third parties on that platform that this is really the only way you should do business because Sony as publisher and developer are competing with Ubisoft, EA, Activision and every other non-Sony first or second party for customer's money. Just like Microsoft in the console space and Microsoft and Apple competing with their professional applications on their desktop and mobile OS platforms.
