I finally understand Sonys 10 year plan!

[klarklar]

so i agree that Sony did not have your orginal plan in mind, but i beleive it is something they could pull off (skipping a gen). The cell processor apparently in theory could work without ram, if devleopers or even Sony could figure out how. basically more ram = better graphics. The cell processor works more and more like a super computer where as the 360 works more like a single cored processor PC of the 90's (programming wise, anyone who works with the systems correct me if im wrong).

So Sony has a processor similar to a super computer
In theory it could actually avoid using ram, having 512 for back up
blu-ray is a pretty big storage medium (look how long dvd lasted as a storage medium)
...problem is that it needs to find out how to use the cell processor to its fullist before 2012. But i think its possible.

But also according to your post (main guy) and this theory we need to assume that nintendo and microsoft follow their usual plan of updating processor and graphics and ram. If Microsoft goes for a Future proof plan then this theory would not work.

And how are some of u saying that the PS3 is not the most powerful system. PS3 is the most "powerful" system, but is in last place this gen. and is hard to develop for because most developers have been developing on simple windows-like architectured systems for the past 10+ years, its not because it sucks that it is hard to develop for. ( sorry had to clear that up cuz people were getting that twisted)
