Sony said to be hanging onto Cell processor for PlayStation 4 {Engadget}
Oct 1st 2008 4:45AM @ KarlW
i'd be amazed if Microsoft followed the cell route for a number of reasons
1) huge R&D costs (added to delays turned a market leader into an also ran in 1 generation)
2) unsuitable for gaming. It's good at tasks that can be split into consistently small parts, gaming by contrast requires infinite flexibility.
3) coding difficulty. Take a gaming industry that already requires hundreds of people to code for a simple machine and add more complexity......costs are going up or quality will come down neither is wanted. It will also make your console vulnerable to simpler competitors as developers will follow the easiest and cheapest route to the market.
Just look at the PS4, longer in development, more expensive components, higher theoretical performance and yet the reality is the 360 has the best looking games. Sony make some beautiful hardware (most of my electronics are sony) but the cell is a bad idea for a games console.
