But yeah, the 7 processor thing will either ruin Sony or make them very successful. Its hard enough programming for 2-3 CPUs, but 7? At first, people probably wont bother with them all... If they invest time and energy into learning effective methods of coding for all 7 cores, then the games that we'll be seeing in the future will be amazing.

But remember, when everyone was using 1 core in consoles, sega used 3 and got fucked on... it was just too hard for the programmers back then to handle. Why waste so much time on making a game for one console, when its easier to make a game for another console? Sony better be packing a shitload of binding 3rd party contracts, and no doubt SCE will be making some ill games of their own to kick shit off.

but........ i want a revolution -_-

Well you gotta remember as of now Sony still has a firm grasp on the industry, and some money companies wouldn't want to pass that uip so they'll in turn either adapt or just use what they know. Also Sony will most likely put out a majority of the launch titles just because they know their machine. I give it til 2007 til we actually see what PS3 can do. By then Hideo Kojima should have thoughtof some crazy game tha uses all 7 and becomes a killer app. Hell MGS4 may even use all 7. And I read in the newest EGM that is runs on 60 Frames as of now. And the TFLOPs may not be exactly 2 but then 360's isn't exactly 1. So it's still eats it's babies. lol And I want a Revolution too.
