Hair-splitting semantics, as DroopSnoot correctly says.
I'd imagine your average buyer would make no such distinction, simply supposing it uses the latest, greatest technology. It doesn't do this. It makes provision - like so much else - for using the latest, greatest technology in the future. Maybe. If you want to get into a war of words about APIs, HALs, run-times and routines and differences in memory management, we could do that.. But it's all at one remove - as usual - from the player experience. The fact is it's got up to sound like it uses the latest and greatest. It doesn't, for a variety of reasons. But hey, when did publishing houses ever let facts get int he way of advertising and PR, so you can't really hold up the devs to blame for this entirely. But to harp on hair-splitting semantics, as the apologists do, is just plain silly - if not expected. Ben |
