Its fun to speculate and all, but this is still a rumor, POWER 7 CPU has some of the CELL in there (IBM is using some of its best development results in its latest CPU's architectures, so there is some CELL in there too), and all in all, I will wait for true specs in about a year time, or at leat some leak from devs working on it (PS4 games or even Sony ' I leak like a old boat' type of we dont comment on rumors).

you are kinda wrong there the CELL has some Power parts and ofcorse IBM will use anything good they have developed but the achitecture is compleatly diferent and much better IMO.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Why the hell are there so many threads on the PS4? Somone should make a thread with links to all your threads so that we can all laugh when you're wrong.

Lately VGChartz has me feeling like I went through a time machine.

Are you threatened by it or something? There is a such thing as ignoring the contents of a said thread/situation. Judging by your apparent feelings towards the subject, the advice is laid upon you.

 

Ok,but I can just turn it around and say that there is such a thing as ignoring the contents of post.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say meh publicly if everyone keeps going PS4 this and PS4 that.

CELL was made with POWER tech in it, its true, and now IBM stoped developing into POWERXCELL8i (I think...) tech, but it will still use some of its developed tech that they came with, thats what I meant. Some, if not a lot, of what was developed during CELL research and development will be in use in future IBM architectures, such as POWER7 and wahtever else comes later. THe completely different you say may mean they will implement and go further into into, making it easier to use. When the CELL came out, just a few CPUs were using more than 2 cores, now look, we have pretty much ewvery one using more than that. Its evolution, and now the devs have tools to use it properly.

What is your reasoning for disliking the subject though? You act as if it threatens you in a substantial way...

 

I'm definitely not threatened financially if that's what your getting at. The only thing I'm worried about is 3d HD because I just splashed out big time on an LCD and it's not 3d ready. Still, I don't think 3d is that close anyway.

Why do I dislike the subject? Because there have been so many mutually exclusive rumours doing the rounds and I was quite interested to read the first one but then more rumours just kept coming. I can't for the life of me see the PS3 being replaced any time soon, and Sony's financial situation just makes this even more improbable. So why would they settle on a chip so long in advance?

If Sony pulls a MS on us and jumps the next gen sooner than the competition then I won't be angry or anything, but I'll be very,very surprised. In fact, I would like to see that happen.

Was I disresectful towards to thread or just annoying? :P

I don't recall that, but 2010-2011 is a bit early since Microsoft also said the 360 would have a 10 year cycle. 2012 isn't too bad because most consoles last around 6 years anyway. I know the 360 came out in 2005 also, but to release a new system in 2010-2011 is definately still too early. 2012 is a bit early too for Sony.

I hope it's a very powerful and expensive processer becuse:

1. I want the next gen to be as powerful grafix as this gen (versus PC's for example)

2. I want Sony to release an expensive console again. (for obvious reasons.  )
