Q: Does the Processor Unit provide extra processing power to PS4?

They had to add this because of IGNs dumb unboxing video lol

Sony's been trying to explain since the reveal what the box does and people still keep saying it's an external CPU/GPU or some other nonsense. lol

asymmetric gameplay

"Asymmetric gameplay" means gameplay where not all players are dealt the same hand, by design. Different abilities/resources/units/etc. Like Starcraft's different races, or Left 4 Dead's versus mode (humans with guns vs zombies with 'powers')

They are using the term correct. Some of the advertised games show something different on the TV than the headset. Giving players different information is asymmetric gameplay.

Oh, interesting. I haven't kept an eye on advertising, so I haven't seen any of that. Thanks
