PS3 is 'future-proof' according to Sony

Sony representatives say that the PS3 can far outlast the PS2 sales curve.

You might be surprised to hear that, and I might be too, that the PS2 is still hanging on waging a battle against a the recent gaming consoles... Sony should be proud of such a quality console!

Speaking with T3, Sony representatives said, "PS2 was still going strong after eight years, and with the power the Cell processor provides, not to mention the fact that PS3 is inherently future-proof, we see the PS3 sales curve far outlasting that of PS2."

Although analysts say that the nex-gen consoles woll be hitting the markets around 2011 or 2012, it would be wonderful to see whether the devs can tap the true potential of the PS3, and unleash a whole new world of content that takes gaming to the next level.

Yesterday, on the 17 of November 2006, Sony's stronghold PS3 turned two years old! Sony did celebrate, by posting a PlayStation.Blog! And so did I! Although I got my PS3 on the 14 of July 2007, it's a feat that Sony has achieved for which all PS3 users ought to celebrate! The mean, shiny PS3-powered by a Cell Processor has a large install base, an install base which helped Sony make it to the Guinness World Records-for Folding@Home's achievement! The PS3 is sure going strong!

THREE CHEERS FOR SONY AND THE PS3! HIP-HIP-HURRAY! HIP-HIP-HURRAY! HIP-HIP-HURRAY!

Cell processors in Toshiba laptops...!!!


The world's first set of laptops unveiled by Toshiba sport the powerful PS3 Cell processor- but to popularize it among users Toshiba has named the processor as "Toshiba Quad Core HD processor". If you still haven't caught my drift- the Cell processor was used in the PS3 and IBM's world's fastest super computer Road Runner which broke the petaflop barrier.

As per now, the three laptops from Toshiba incorporating the Cell processor technology are the Qosmio G55, Qosmio X305, Qosmio F55 which are designed for processor intensive applications like multimedia and gaming and should go on sale this summer! The X305 will also boast a nVidia 9800GTX graphics processor with 1GB VRAM!!! :)
