Regardless of what it is, it's a shame they couldn't throw the Cell/RSX in to a PS4, charge 100 bucks more for the console and provide backwards compatibility.
Could have released 2 models...
PS4 basic - $399 - current PS4
PS4 awesome - $499 - PS4 with RSX/Cell
Same goes for Xbox One. |
This is why I want to know actually. There would be an add-on module with an embedded Cell/RSX graphics chip that would connect to the back of the PS4 via an external PCI bus adapter so it can have access to the PS4's I/O and AV-Out subsystems.
The x86 architecture is fast enough to handle the subsystems necessary to emulate the PS3 properly, due to having 512MB of the memory it needs.

Do PS4 or Xbox One have somesort of add-on slots or ports that could be utilized for this purpose? Even if they do its doubtful... Only company that would have the balls to do this would be 1990s Sega lol. The only possibility I see here is a new hardware SKU that has BC coming out in a few years when PS3 is on its last legs hardware wise.
