Its not naive, it's a cost issue. Sony cannot afford to release a console several times more powerful than the PS3, and if they do, most devs won't use most of it so you won't see the difference.
Look at the rumour thread; all rumours price all consoles closely with all consoles similarly powered. Expecting a $600 beast is naive.
it'll be closer to PS2-Xbox-GC IMO. |
Horsepower wasn't the main reason for PS3's crazy price tag. It was the BR drive. When the PS3 released it was not only one of the best BR players, it was also the cheapest. Others were 800$+.
BR is much cheaper now. A 400$ system by SONY today would easily wipe the floor with the PS3 which was released in 2006.
