The chip cell was pretty awesome when was presented, will SONY stick with a updated version of Chip Cell or will use a new series of third partie prccesors like Intel, IBM, etc.. and if they do tat.. will be possible retrocompatibilty? Like was on X360 that some games of the late xbox weren´t compatible on xbox360 because the difference in hardware architechture... I own arround 30 PS3 games... so its a issue that concern me... |
At this point nothing has really leaked about the PS4. But, considering that Sony sold the Cell tech off and didn't use it in the Vita, I'd put a fairly large bet on them going back to a more traditional CPU architecture.
As for Backwards compatibility, with WiiU definitely having BC and neXtBox from all accounts having tech similar enough to 360 that it should have BC, I'd bet Sony will do their best to offer BC in some fashion if not 100%.
