Some of them are just dumb, others are sort of valid.

The worst ones;

1: I'm not sure if the author knows this, but technology moves forward, compare the components in a laptop today with a laptop from seven to eight years back (which is when the PS3 dev kits were complete) and spot the difference...

2: Refer to point 1, technology moves forward, they can't very well use technology that doesn't exist yet and they can't rebuild the entire architecture of the console itself midway in it's lifeycle. Glaringly obvious.

3: Again, techology, compression. What took up 25GB of space many year ago now takes considerably less and the storage devices themselves increase in size and lower in price, doubly so if a console uses the format. Blu-ray was costly to make and distribute at the start of the 7th gen, it isn't any longer. Compare the prices of USB drives of today with the USB drives a few years back.

6: Is there phone functionality on an iMac or other laptops? Didn't think so, best to remove the cameras then. And here I was thinking cameras were more natural in multimedia devices than in phones...

7: Two things; this is pure speculation and, most importantly, this is certainly not a "question nobody is asking", in fact; this is probably the most discussed point of the entire reveal and launch.

Bottom line; this is mostly nonsense. Could be meant as satire though, it seem more like an attempt to rile up fanboys tbh.

yea but there are a few mostly good points presented in a flamy way, I mean if any thought the article was meant to be serious they obviously didn't read the first line lol

Do you think RolStoppable wrote it?
