Insomniac: PS3 won't be maxed out for 2-3 years

Post by Sabre »

Article
"There's always ways we can become more efficient. The PlayStation platforms are built with a very high ceiling and I think that's part of the success Sony has had in creating these platforms with really long life spans," said Stevenson
Good to hear we're going to be seeing good stuff for awhile from the system!

Speaking of life spans:
I really think that the PS4 could just be a PS3 with double the cell processors and a new rendering chip. They built the architecture to be scalable. That reduces R&D costs and they next time around the game developers would already know exactly how to program the system.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

And imagine the cost savings in the winter! You'll be able to heat 3 or 4 houses with just one PS4!
