> Why did Sony keep creating such hard-to-code-for devices While this was certainly true with the PS2 and PS3, Sony has largely moved away from this with the PS4. The Cell architecture of the PS3 was very difficult to effectively program. For the PS4, Sony spent a large amount of time interviewing game programmers asking "what would make it easier to development?" Hence the move to x86. Hence the simplified memory hierarchy, etc. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191007/inside_the_playstation_4_with_mark_.php?print=1 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191007/inside_the_play...
