The PS3 would have sold better if they bundled it with booze and hookers, but they didn't.
Sounds promising.
One thing that pisses me off is how people constantly tell us PS3 games "are only using 20% of its bandwidth" or something like that. Give it a rest...I'm sure the PS3 has a ton of potential to have games that look vastly superior to today's games, but throwing around 20% or 25% is just totally made up...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

PS3 is already deemed a failure by Sony (Kutaragi Sacked) and I seriously question how much more losses the larger company are prepared to receive on it's behalf. PS3 will no doubt recieve price drops in-line with reduced manufcturing costs (although these are made harder when you aren't manufacturing much) but I seriously doubt that the profitable side of Sony will be prepared to put their balls on the line for the sake of the PS3. In short, Sony will not make the PS3 any more of a liability than it already is and any price drop will be in-line with reduced manufacturing costs. Talk of anything more than a $100 price drop (maximum and probably not enough) is fanciful. |
funny thing it was not his decision to add Br and delay the launch. Kutaragi just took a hit he did not deserve, others just covered their ass by screwing him over.
Its price cut or failure of BR format, their Br hardware and their gaming division, quite the easy choice.

Actually, funny you should say that. Any task on the PS3 can only use up to 50% of the Cell's power because of the way it's built. So yeah, the Cell is incredibly powerful, but since everything is split between threaded and dedicated, nothing can take full potential of it.
Don't get me wrong, by splitting it like that you can do some really incredible things, but it comes of the price of being able to use only half of the processor.

Cant handle the truth that PS3 power is that great.
http://kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/ea-games-use-20-percent-of-ps3s-power-221137.php A while back Ea said they were using 20/25%,
Factor 5 said Lair might be pushin 40/50%

The PS3 and PS4 are going nowhere baby don't hold your breath. Just cause they might finish 3rd doesn't mean they are leaving this race after 10 years of leading...
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

How sure are you it is made up? Why is 20% or 25% unbelievable? Can it be measured? Norton Benchmark? lol!

How sure is the EA exec? Did he measure the usage, or did he just throw a randomly generated figure?
