I don't think I've seen anyone argue that the Cell processor was a good thing. It was costly, and hard to develop for. It's still baffling that Sony went with it. It also made it extremely difficult for backwards compatibility. As such, there's no true backwards compatibility on the PS4. I don't see any future PlayStation console having PS3 backwards compatibility because the effort would not be worth it. |
Well, not any more; I remember some folks last generation defending the Cell and insisting it was justified by the performance of games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3.
