First party ROI considerations have nothing to do with third party ROI considerations. First party games don't pay royalties to the console manufacturer, and they are used to sell consoles and increase the user base, so the financial implications of a first party game are much harder to calculate than a third party game. Sony could see it as a success with "only" one million games sold, if it implies one million consoles sold.

30fps, is usually a code put into the game to LIMIT it to that amount.  They are actually doing more work by making it a constant 30fps, than letting it just be whatever fps it can achieve at any given moment.

But again its like 1 line of code doing this.  There is no financial burden to FPS.

Of course it has. If there are no bottlenecks, then you can use 60 fps as the engine ticks frequency. You don't leave performance unused on purpose.

PS: Even a completely balanced architecture for one game engine is unbalanced for other game engines, so it's a nonsense way to define a much more developer friendly than PS3 architecture.

Here's a good example of a performance bottleneck on HD5550 cards caused by memory bandwidth:

HD5550 (GDDR5; 51.2GB/s) = 1.24x HD5550 (DDR3; 21.6GB/s) = 1.32x HD5550 (DDR2; 12.8GB/s)

Core clock and bus width are same for all cards, so slower memory subsystem is causing bottleneck when it's used, not allowing GPU to perform anywhere near its full potential.

YES IT WILL.

CGI, if there is extra performance on the table, they should use it. Are they accepting that they aren't good game developers leaving extra performance unused? I'm sure that they don't think this, we are talking of Guerrilla after all, so all they are doing is PR work for their company. Only an unlimited performance machine has no bottlenecks, because there is always some subsystem that limits your engine, may it be texturing power, shading power, memory bandwidth or any other thing.

they are also marketing expert, political expert, and their prediction skills surpassed those operation managers with 30 years of experience...

Not with any launch title, with any title. There is a misconception, the first time you compile a game you are lucky if it does not hangs, and it's not uncommon that you don't obtain more than 2-3 fps. Does it mean that the cpu or the gpu is unused? No, the only thing is that there are always inefficiencies on the code that game companies debug with time, and they learn tricks to lessen the work with the same end results.

Exactly, everyone does that. However, it does show that the console is pretty balanced if they went as far as saying that it was perfect. It is an exaggeration but it can't be baseless.

That's not true, at all. They stress the hardware, but with time the developers learn tricks. Graphics are 100% doing the same with less work, or doing more with the same work. When an approximation is good enough, you don't increase the computational work because the end user won't take notice. It's the same with game engines, you use occlusion, normal maps to emulate geometry, tessellation, different lightning techniques to emulate real lightning...
