Sony to take $100 loss on $399-priced PS3

http://gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=9838

 

 

Η SONY λογικα θα υποστηριξει οτι οι καταναλωτες αγοραζουν κατι περισσοτερο απο μια παιχνιδομηχανη . Εναν Supercomputer . Σε αντιθεση με τη Microsoft . . .

 

Αλλα ο νικητης , οπως παντα θα αποφασιστει απο τους τιτλους παιχνιδιων που θα βγουν για PS3 και XBOX360 , και την απηχηση που θα εχουν στο κοινο .

 

 

Oblivion . . . .

Rockstar has confirmed to Eurogamer that the supposed screenshot of the next-gen instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series is indeed "a hoax."

RSX is G70, 90 nanometre tweaked

 

YOU ALL KNOW that Sony wanted to makes its complete console based on Cell marchitecture. It eventually did it partially, as the CPU is Cell based but it learned that Cell is not that good for graphic.

 

It had to pull some emergency strings and Nvidia was the perfect choice. It already made the Xbox graphics chip, had experience with consoles and knew all it had to know about graphics. The only bad thing was that Sony approached Nvidia very late, and didnʼt leave this talented company much time to do a proper job for a Sony Playstation 3.

 

Nvidia did make a good chip design based on 90 nanometre marchitecture but it didnʼt design the chip from scratch. We were told more than once that RSX is 90 nanometre G70 adjusted to fit into a console and to do whatever it has to do.

 

We wrote before that Sony will do those chips in its own factories so Nvidia doesnʼt have to worry about yields, TSMC marchitecture and stuff like that as Sony is supposed to make everything work. Nvidia still has to tape out its RSX chip but it should happen very soon now.

 

ATI, on the other hand, had two whole years to finish its R500 chip. We learned that it should be just enough time to make the chip design and to have it ready. Therefore, in some ways, ATI might have a slight advantage over Nvidia at least in consoles, while Nvidia is picking up fast in the discrete business. The tables are turning one more time.

 

We donʼt want to jump to any conclusions about which is better - ATI's R500 and Xbox 360 or Nvidia's RSX in Playstation 3 - as both consoles and chips have their own audiences who will be more than happy to get one of them. Xbox 360 is coming first, while Playstation 3 coming later should be backward compatible with older games. Xbox 360 will be backward compatible but not for all titles.

 

We are ready for the first one, Xbox 360

Router functions dropped from PS3 spec

 

The PlayStation 3 will no longer act as a home network router, according to Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi, who has revealed that the functionality has been dropped because it would have been too expensive.

Xmmm nai mono poy gia na kaneis drop kati prepei prota na eixes pei oti tha to eixes, kati poy den egine pote, to apospasma einai apo synenteyxh toy Masa Chatani Chief Technical Officer ths SCE stis 20 maiou.

 

Q. Gigabit Ethernet connectors are listed as In x 1 + Out x 2, what does it mean? Does it have router function and are they for WAN/LAN? Or do you use a special connection to connect multiple PS3s together?

 

A. It has no router function. It's supposed to be a switching hub internally, but I don't know about the meaning of In/Out frankly so will answer about it at the next opportunity. Of course you can connect PS3s together. After it's on sale, some will make a supercomputer by connecting many PS3s. Apparently Sony Picture Entertainment is considering to use PS3 in a rendering farm for movies.

LEIPZIG SEES KONAMI DREAM TEAM DEBUT

 

Kojima and Takatsuka confirmed to present MGS 4 and PES 5

 

15:11 The Leipzig Games Convention will see Konami unveil two of its dream team developers with both Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima and Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka, producer on the all conquering Pro Evolution Soccer 5, teaming up to make it a German games convention to remember.

 

Kojima-san will be presenting the latest news and developments on MGS 4 and it is expected we'll see some first concrete details and maybe even a first actual gameplay glimpse on the new PS3 title. Kojima-san will be accompanied by Shinta Nojiri, director of Metal Gear Acid, so we may well also see a fleeting look at Metal Gear Acid 2 which is currently stealthing its way onto PSP.

 

Takatsuka-san will be making his European games show debut to give salivating Pro Evo fans their first glimpse of new gameplay and features of part five of the famous soccer series, which has been captivating us virtually every lunchtime since its launch last year.

 

Rest assured C&VG.com reporters will be on hand to bring you the latest from the show floor as Konami's development giants debut.
