IT SEEMS Nvidia may well be right and the PlayStation 3 – complete with cells and the like will not produce any return on invesment at all.

The Toshiba-Sony cell tech will now cost an absolute fortune – as Nvidia predicted, and if we see it by 2005, we will all, at the INQ, fall over in surprise.

Sony and its partners – we estimate – will have to invest at least four billion dollars into an early release.

It's the cell version that will take that time to develop, according to Electronics Design Chain.

But, it seems Sony has decided to call what was to be the Playstation 3 the Playstation 4, according to the same article.

Sony don't seem to have the amount of money needed to develop the super design, yet.

i wouldnt personally care, i mean just lately has the true potential of the ps2 started to shine. it usually takes a year or so for developers to start pikckin up on all the lil stuff to make games great especially on the ps2 which everyone knows is hard to produce games for.

also only one part of that i dont believe...its the part about them not havin the money...they are one of the largest and most respected companies in the word with their wide variety of products how in the hell could they not afford this?

yeah i was thinkin the same thing, they must have to have money look at alll the **** they got out for sell.

in my opinion... im perfectly fine with the PS3 for right now. i dont really care about how quickley they come out with it.

i mean, think about it. if they rush to get something done, wouldnt there be problems with it? if a staff were to take their time, look over every component of it many times and fix and refine everything to make it better, wouldnt that be worth the wait?

i can tell you that i believe it would be worth the wait. plus, do you REALLY want to get older quicker? why cant you just wait for the year to roll around and enjoy your life that you have in front of you...

ya if they rush it they may come up short with the games and consoles when its released, maybe like the ps2 for example.

i hope ps3 is sweet

In my opinion, they shouldn't rush out any underdeveloped product/consoles anymore... just look at all the PS2 "disc read error" horror stories that are out there in the world.

They should be smart and concentrate on more material to take advantage of the PS2 HDD add-on for the time being... but they probably wont.
