So, that's how they are going to get into the 10yr plan for the ps3. Repackage it as a PS4!

haha jk.

Makes sense, however, based on Wii success I bet the jump from ps3 to ps4 in terms of power will be 1/2 that of PS2 to PS3.

I already am fairly confident Sony and MS will do the same thing, smaller % of raw power jump that this gen to keep cost sub $350 at launch and maybe some form of motion controller.

What I am unsure of is how big of a jump Nintendo will do and how they will change the wiimote/nunchuk configuration. Nintendo has had a new controller every gen.

 

Probably they will reach the 360 levels (Maybe a little bit more), keeping IBM, Ati and maybe BC with the Wii/GC games, the new control, well most likely will have similar features to the Wiimote+Motion plus, for me thats the safe path, but how knows...

 

it will be interesting, the powerpc chip that ms uses is easier to scale in terms of power, but with that comes heat, the major problem with that series of powerpc, i could see it going uniform quad core, or even different changes like that, since none of that would effect coding, but we just havent seen any new info from ibm on this series of chip, something the publish quite regularly along with the cell updates, and the joint project with motorola (now freescale) that produced the GC/wii chip
