Having seen what failoverflow had to do to get Linux running on a ps4 I would say you are mostly correct.

They are not IBM pc compatible.

But for the most part once you get everything working... The difference is negligible.

Linux already runs on more than just PCs. I'm not sure it's a useful benchmark of PCness.

I didn't say that. Failoverflow gave a talk on how they got Linux working on the ps4. It does not have a lot of the ibm PC compatible parts of x86.

What I am getting at is: it is close to a Pc but not. In the ways that matter it is (CPU GPU pcie USB data etc)

Go watch the talk, it's over at media.CCC.de I think at congress 33.
