Sony once again at the top of cutting edge technology. If these guys were GPU vendors they'd leave everyone in the dust, we'd have Titan X performance for half the cost.

Yepp, no doubt about it. If Sony can get PlayStation sales to iPhone levels, we will see a massive leap across all technologys.

That is why it is such a shame that PS3 was so misunderstood. Ken Kutaragi had a vision to use Cell across all Sony devices, and unite all Sony devices on the same OS. Had PS3 been a success Sony would be years ahead of every other hardware and software company.

There is still a potential to get things rolling, Kaz is doing his best to roll Sony under PlayStation and unite everything. So, again, if PS4 succeeds, and the Pro and PSVR can expand the market, then maybe we can see the pace of tech and innovation start to accelerate at a rate we have never seen before.

It's a shame it was so mis-focused in the beginning, and mis-designed in general. Going with a more conventional CPU and a stronger GPU (plus, better memory arrangement) would have saved the PS3 years of performance issues.
