PS3 to go the way of saturn?

But now the situation has changed, dual-core is becoming standard, and though it's difficult, developers will learn to work with 2 or 3 cores...but SEVEN? That will be VERY difficult, and many people agree:

"But writing multi-threaded apps for two or three cores is difficult.
Doing it for seven separate cores, when the main core has a slightly
different feature-set from the other six, is very, very difficult.” - Richard Huddy, ATi

"PS3 has too complicated of architecture." - Tomonobu Itagaki, Team Ninja

http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/....1500.24632.htm

"Expressing his delight for the development tools and architecture of
Bill's 2nd Xbox. He then went on to express doubts over the PS3's
hardware architecture, in saying that early work on games for the PS3's
hardware "will initially be disappointing" - John Carmack, id Software Founder

http://www.igniq.com/2005/08/carmac...box-360_15.html

All these people know what they are talking about - Carmack is one of the most respected people in the industry, Huddy LIVES graphics and Itagaki pushes systems further than anyone else -- yet he still says PS3 is too complicated.

PS3 smells like another Sega Saturn to me. The architecture is too complicated for its own good and it is VERY hard to develop for. Maybe that explains why we have seen very little REAL gameplay from the Sony camp.

Yea...so bassicaly it says that the Ps3 will go the way of sega saturn cuz they both have architecture that;s too complicated.

What you guys think about this?

Well I dunno.

Sony has lots of money (from PSX/PS2/PSP success) as well as contracts with big-name developers. The games for it wont be bad. And Sony wont let the playstation brand name fail..

But I DO believe it will take some time for some really good titles to appear on it.

I dont even mind though. Its a very superior machine to the 360. Once developers become accustomed to the technology, their coding will be more efficient, shit will become easier for them, and allow them to unlock the full potential of the next generation.

The 360 is basically a tiny little upgrade of this generation's consoles with 3 cores instead of 2... They basically know every trick of the trade in regard to using that amount of power.... imagine how good games will be when they learn to use the 7 cores the PS3 has...

Its not "too difficult".. its sony's take on the next generation by making the PS3 the best technology of the future. Microsofts take on the next generation was to stick the best technology of today into an Xbox with a different shell. Nintendo shouldnt even be compared to these two, because they're heading a different direction.
