What the hell is going on with the PS3?

LOL Fraqing Jake xD God I hope you don't get banned >
Sony makes some strange moves, don't get me wrong, but I think your looking a little too hard at what Sony actually has "control" of. So far any project they've directly helped out has been pretty much nothing but great.

Don't be looking to Haze or GTA in terms of what the PS3 is capable of, that's the worst place to start lol. I'm actually quite curious to see how much of the SPU potential Haze OR GTA is actually tapping into. From the look of it Haze might not be using... any?

The delay's on Sony's behalf should only be looked at in positive light, according to Kaz, Home was delayed because HE felt it wasn't ready. Honestly how badass is that? Besides it's a free service :P We as consumers should have zero say in that matter.

They would appear to have dropped the ball big time in making it easy for developers, and in a certain light, they have indeed. But you also have to remember that Sony is in this for the Looooooooooooong haul, what will we be saying next generation if Sony sticks with Cell technology and ends up being the EASIEST to program for considering it's completely compliant with this generation engines? Will we say that Sony's doing more harm than good? Hell no! If anything Sony's encouraging proper code, and that in itself is a great thing. Besides why do we all talk about development cost's like it's a horrid thing. If anything look how many jobs are being supplied by these massive PS3 projects :P I'd love to be a game developer at this day in age xD Talk about job security :P

And by looking at game companies profits, they should really be afraid of losing their jobs. The "Dow Jones" industries jobs frankly seems more secure at the moment. It's a bit similar thing as the "IT bubble" at the change of the millenia (which lead Nasdaq to be born, since the wise guys saw what really was happening), this time it just is "HD bubble" inside the gaming industry. Even if PS4 would be 100% compatible with this generation engines, it doesn't make it easiest to program for. @Topic: I don't think Sony has given up this generation, their focus just is moved from focusing on winning to trying to make profit. In the foreseeable future, they try to make impact when MGS4, GT5 and FF13/VS. comes out. But the rest of the time they just try to get their money back, which comes more easier as the installbase grows.
