what poorly written tosh you've got "as-yet-untapped Cell processor"

then "It took five years before we saw games that used the full power of Cell"


they kinda conflict you amateur

and also the ten year lifespan sony mention does not mean there cant be an overlap like with the playstation 2 has had while the ps3 was available

Also Microsoft did want bluray as they believed a bigger market was online distribution... This year is the first major push on this.... the first year.... Why release new tech???? A system update brings new features. And people are already gaming at 1080p.... What more can they release just now?

It's not that the technology they are looking to include in the PS4 doesn't exist. Indeed it's probably on the market already for PC's. The issue they have is waiting for that generation of GPU to be affordable enough to meet their requirements in terms of the desired price-point of their next machine. Remember that any console (CELL or no cell) is a fairly antiquated piece of kit. The standardised hardware however allows for maximum optimisation of the software because you aren't catering to various hardware configurations. Granted this has become less true with the differing hardware/approaches of Sony and MS.

I'm getting a bit tired of people insisting, hoping and almost demanding that a new generation of consoles is announced; hopefully with the intention of being released in the next 18 months. It's going to ultimately cost us all because our current gen will have it's support cut dramatically once the next gen is out. There will of course be an overlap with this and the next gen, and that's where this 5 years comes from I think. The next gen will be out within five years, and I'd anticipate mainstream support for the PS3 and xbox for the first 1 to 2 years; after that I think the consoles will be rendered obsolete and developers won't code for them.

We don't need new hardware to play Killing Simulator 5. Indeed the increasing control that companies are trying to exert over their games with increasingly more release content held back as DLC means that the next gen is going to go down a forced subscription route. Not forced in the sense that things won't work without a subscription, just forced in the sense that the experience will be so compromised that you'll have little choice but to sign up.

I can distinguish and sonys word is worth a hell of a lot more than the word of an amateur speaking on which he knows little about.

how can you claim the cell is untapped while it is blatantly obvious the hardware is severely holding backboth improved graphics and physics on the ps3.
