Title: Maybe i\'m wron but...
Post by: TheSammer on November 16, 2001, 11:20:47 AM
...(i wrote this in another forum where they say PS3 can be done before the "right" 5 years)....

-----------------------------

One thing worry me...: XBox it\'s more simple to became XBox2 than Play2 to Play3.

I mean... if you take the original hw architecture of XBox... put in a P4 2Ghz, put in 512Mb of ram... well you have 50% of work done. You can use nVidia GeForce5 GPU and the XBox2 it\'s done.
(With 100% games compatibility... you know.. directX).

For PS3 maybe they must rewrite all the hw architecture. Bye bye old games etc.

Maybe they need to design a good new hw architecture ONE time and use it for new generation console.

--------------------------------

I know it\'s too early to speak XBox2 or PS3.... but don\'t you think it\'s more simple to get a new "anti" PS3 console in this way?

E-Motion engine seems to me very innovative and i\'m not so happy to think that new technology can not be powered for a PS3 for "marketing" policy.

what do you think?

There will not be an XBox2. They will relize the effort to get a couple of dollars from the XBox is not worth it.

Ya on one hand X-box may lose a lot of money but what does bill gates care, its not a big enough loss to worry him, the only way i can see microsoft pulling out is if the X-box is such a disaster that its embassing on his part.
