I think they are gonna continue to look arrogant anyhow. It's not possible for them to hit the PS3's technical ceiling at this stage.

But credit where credit is due, they have talented coders amongst their team and their game engine was already far more modern/mature many years ago than most game engines are modern/mature today with regard to multi-threaded design.

how do you know ?

Required man years, even with a big team of talented coders it will take a lot of time to design an optimal Blu-Ray streaming game engine and it will take even more time to hand optimise for eight 3.2 Ghz processors. This while it's not even all in their own hands, part of future progress lies with operating system optimisations (hence Sony).

You should have called it the PS3's theoretical ceiling then because in reality no one will ever make a PS3 game that takes full advantage of it like that.
