Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028

Sucks that Microsoft sees no reason in enforcing any resource usage limits for anything, console manufacturers do this and games run incredibly well on there, same for how Apple (despite other bullshit they pull) enforces software requirements so it can run at least functionally on the oldest supported devices.

All Microsoft has done is shoot themselves in the foot by upping the requirements so they can get lazy with coding, such as pretty much every UI component being an electron app, or how apparently a third of it is vibe coded. Meanwhile, due to the prices of devices with reasonable amounts of RAM skyrocketing, too many consumers get the bottom of the barrel configs, and then wonder why their computer is insatiably slow; it’s because Microsoft is now enforcing their laziness, possibly so they can change UI components quicker through higher level languages.
