anyone thinks that sony will have money for the ps4's is R&D with the ps3 not making real profit? i mean it will never make back is R&D and production cost. The ps3 erased the ps2 LTD profits so i wonder if they will have any money to develop the PS4, if there is a PS4?

 

It will dramatically change their console R&D philosophy.

No more "revolutionary chip design", or billions to invent a new storage format.  Just a slightly modified faster Cell with Blu-Ray, faster graphics and more memory.  Heck, just dump the cell and have IBM/Intel design a processor for you.

 

The Cell is made by IBM.

Oh, and the Cell really isn't all that powerful.  It is good for doing calculations, physics and calculus stuff, but compared to a PC processor in terms of power it is a wimp.  You could buy one of Nvidia's video cards with CUDA processing and it would destroy the Cell.
