| SpartanFX said: actually that is the only one that makes sense.The minute they put a 600-700 US $ price tag on it the knew it's gonna be a tough ride this generation.hopefully they will use similar technology next round(PS4) to keep the cost down .just beef up PS3 from 500mb to 2 gig ram and graphical card, use a new cell with more cores, and use a 6X speed bluray drive. |
Ironically I dont think that the Cell is the limiting factor people think it to be. It may actually be viable to just have the PS4 with a dual Cell solution.
The PS3's main problem is the memory structure and GPU solution.
Its introduces a tremendous bottleneck and in a time critical device like a Video Game Console bottlenecks equal very bad idea.
Go for the unified memory like MS did this gen and let the developers decide how they want to use it.
Also a thumper of a GPU. You can never have to many shaders.
