So you agree in that they made a mistake with the PS3, so why are you arguing against me?

There are PCs that far, far outclass what the PS3 is capable of. You can easily get the same power. More over the developers could more easily take advantage of that power giving better games earlier. In essence you would have gotten effectively more powerful hardware simple because it would not take so much work to get that power to be used effectively. This does mean you won't see the same level of improvement over the course of the console, but that is because the top is reached more quickly. This means the games are as good in individual comparisons, and substantial better on average. Win/win.

Allow me to explain via example. DirectX was created due to developer demand. When Windows 95 came out it took away the ability to directly utilize the hardware, or something to that effect as the specifics escape me. As such a game could not be the best game possible due to issues with effectively utilizing that power. In response, Microsoft created a work around that let developers better utilize the hardware and thus we get better games with less effort.

In this analogy the PS3 is Windows 05, and the PS4 will have DirectX. The underlying hardware will be better utilized because it will not have to fight against the hardware as much. Instead it works with the developer. The end result is better games, and more of them as developers without the ability or desire to twist the hardware to their desires would be able to create games as well. Imagine how much better the PS3 library would be with more ports from Valve, or if the existing ports didn't need to be outsourced. A full, and true port of Orange Box would add a ton alone!

 As to your highlights, well it doesn't always work and leads to excessive clutter in a thread. To quote you I have to quote myself and it leads to monstrous amounts of redundancy that I always edit out. Also, I never types most of the following:

Sony was right with the PS3, or Sony will be right with the PS4. I choose the latter.

again you don't understand,of course they will be better with PS4.

cause now they will use CELL similar even though powerful but alike thing and by that time devs would have learnt it and used to it so it will be like developing for PC to them.
