When it comes out, I bet someone will come out with MAME for ps3 and it will be difinitely fast enough to play MAME Games  :D

So by the time it comes out it will already be 2+ years behind PC hardware, and will then be produced until it is 8 years behind?

It is a multi-processor system and will get a lot of its performance with the use of special programming to divide gaming tasks between the processors.  Would be great for having each processor emulate a specific chip for Mame but the programming to do that would not be a simple port.

Sounds awesome. Let's not forget that gaming consoles are DESIGNED for optimum graphics performance, unlike PCs which must be designed to fit a whole lot of standards and interchangeable parts.

I really happy it will have wireless controllers out of the box. Ever since I got a wireless controller for Gamecube, tethered controllers feel real primitive.

Have you watched the videos? My jaw hit the floor when I saw those! :o

Truly a system worthy of the title "next gen". And if you watch the whole press conference and see all the technical nuonces behind it, you can appreciate it even more! Dang, I wish I could see those videos in hi-def right now!

I've just watched the whole Sony conference.....as for it being behind the computer market when it's released....I hardly think so.....this is a new chip...a new technology that Sony wants to integrate in all their products.....we'll be seeing the cell in TV's and other electronic components.  And I like the direction they're taking with the new eyetoy.....interacting with computer generated characters.....the cup demonstration blew my mind....Imagine a new metal gear game where snake talks to you on the transceiver......that would totally rock.....
