monster cell + monster GPU= monster games?

Sony could take the silicon budget away from the "monster cell" to create a "modest cell" and a "OMG 20 story tall monster GPU" which would be superior. 



Good news Everyone!

I've invented a device which makes you read this in your head, in my voice!

Well. You do know the PS3's cell is a watered down version right? Also I still see next gen the PS4 using a god like 23987928379 core cell for cheaper then the original cell this gen.

 

I am now positive you are a joke account.... I can't believe how much mis-information you have put onto this website in the last few days

I can answer number 11.

The reason Sony didn't put to much money into the PS3's marketing was because they never really needed it for the PS1 and PS2. They had very little competition for the last two generations so they never needed to throw abunch of money into the marketing. When the PS3 came out they were expecting it to be like the PS1 and PS2 so they didn't put much money into marketing.

But now in 2009 they said there going to amp up the marketing for the PS3 and I believe that because I seen several Killzone 2 ads on a few different channels.

Now about the rest that this fella is talking about, if Sony does everything he said I can see the PS4 selling fairly good.

The problem with Sony's marketing hasn't been so much the money as the content. The infamous white PSP ad notwithstanding, when you've got execs saying on-record things like "Our fans are drones" and "They'd buy the PlayStation brand even if we didn't release any games for it," you're going to alienate a lot of people. They'll go where they feel they're appreciated, or at least not taken for granted. This probably accounts for a fair number of the PS2 owners who jumped ship to Wii and 360 this quarter.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

I agree with all those except 7 (nobody needs a FF7 remake).

If they stick with the blu ray format, and get their console out first or the same time as their competitors with great launch titles, and for only $299 they will win the next generation of consoles. And they will have the best games just like this gen.
