I'm not sure if Sony would want to make a system with a very unique architecture again. Devs complained about how hard it was to program PS2 games, and again with PS3. PS4 and 5 are practically PCs by comparison.
- acdha 3y agoI don’t want to say that we’ll never see big architecture changes again but I think a company like Sony would want more confidence that they’d get real advantages. Cell wasn’t just unpopular with developers but also never delivered compelling performance; I suspect if they’d had a PC CPU and a Blu-ray player at the same price it would’ve sold identically. Anyone trying this needs to figure out a decade-long schedule with points where something would be worth using for some reason so they don’t have to run the whole thing in a vacuum hoping it’ll be worth it at the end.
