yeah i don't understand why the multithreading is such a big plus in the eyes of gamers... it sucks shit to program for so i've heard. although powerful.

if sony wasdoing this, and they were smart, they would release a devkit to rival something like perl or another intensely powerful useful simple one.

btw: i am not a programmer so don't be offended if something i said doesn't make sense. they just need to make programming a lot simpler, despite what it is capable of, devs need to do it easily.

 

as a programmer, its not that isn't hard, in comparison the ps1 ps2 were much harder to programan due the use a mips architercture and game developers are lazy.

but the ps3 uses parallell processing, that require to allocate the work asymetrically between SPUs.

it require to give introductions to SPUs to work together, in a same code.

thats great for built for engine, but ports practically require more job done.
