I do not think Sony or Microsoft are going to use this.

Sony invested heavily in Blu-ray and Cell. There has to be a undeniably good reason for them to pull out now. Blu-ray is doing satisfactory. Unfortunately, the Cell has not really proven to be much of a success so that is what they are most likely going to focus on.

Microsoft most likely will not use this either as long as the technology remains expensive. If this technology also requires very high hardware specs to work decently, it is pretty much guaranteed that Microsoft will avoid this. The reason is because there has never been a console manufacture that sold consoles at a high loss or price and been anywhere close to winning the console war. What makes you think Microsoft is going to be any different if they tried?

If next generation consoles appear after 2012 and the cost of this technology drops by 2011, there is the possibility of either of the companies utilizing this.
