This is just a bad idea in every sense of the word. The cell was powerful no doubt, but it was extremely difficult to use. And thats putting it mildly....

Then secondly, its like you have absolutely zero understanding of all the things that has made the PS4 successful. The PS4s success is clear and apparent that going with an "off the shelf" (even though thats a gross understatement of what these platform holders really do) solution was the better choice. Yet here you are suggesting that sony makes yet another over developed over complicated piece of hardware that will only be taken advantage of by their first party studios.

And this group think nonsense has to stop. Yes, the jaguar CPU used in the PS4/XB1 is weak by the general standards of everything else that is out there. But I can't stress it enough when I say that like most things that tech evangelists would like you to think is important; its really not important. Just look at the games that we have got this generation so far. Look at the games running on PCs with CPUs that are literally 10 times more powerful than what we have in these consoles..... are those games 10 times better?

Its flat out ignorant when people ask or want things simply because they can and not take into consideration all that really goes into these decisions.

And do you realize that if they change the core hardware architecture for the PS5 (meaning they heavily deviate from the current setup) then it means PS4 games won't work on that platform? Make no mistake, if sony or anyone releases a console in the future that isn't fully BC, that console will be DOA. We have the rise in digital distribution to thank for that.

Right now, its just better for sony to stick with AMD, make modifications to the chips AMD gives them like they did with the PS4pro and make the most they can of that hardware. Anything else at this point is just redundant and stupid.

Keep an eye out on checkerboard rendering..... its going to be a very big component in the next PS console hardware. Long and short is this, if you are looking back or suggesting taking a step back to make future improvements, then you already are doing it all wrong.
