PS3 - Worth the investment in 6 years?
Kaz Hirai recently said the “PS3’s full gaming potential won’t be tapped 6 yearsâ€. He also talks about the issue that developers are having issues with the PS3.
Do we feel mad or happy about this?
Some feel that is simply too long to wait. Others think it is a great thing. The premium games on the PS3 look amazing right now, imagine the progression this will have in 2 years, in 4 years, and then this 6 year mark. If you were to be mad, why be mad at Sony. . .I feel it’s the developer’s fault. Unless he means they won’t ‘unlock’ the full potential via firmware updates then yes, be mad at Sony. If not, then just enjoy the natural progression of better video game graphics.
Then Kaz commented on the difficulty developing for the PS3 and compared it to the PS2 era. Kaz says. . .
If you look back at the commentary we received when we launched PS2, there was a lot of talk to the effect that ‘It’s very difficult to program for’ and ‘It’s easier on a Dreamcast’. It’s happened before.If people said it was easy to program the PS3, I would be worried. That wouldn’t be pushing the envelope for technological development.

The title of this article is really badly written. This is what fans of other consoles are saying about the article after reading it. Kaz meant something along the lines of “if you think the games coming out in the next year or so are good, wait 6 more years down the road and you’ll be stunned”.
Being hard to program has nothing to do with good gaming or not, just hard to make the graphics look stunning. But the recent games already proved how powerful the machine is when it is not running a lazy port that doesn’t use the SPEs at all.
