First Expansion "Rebirth" at PS3 Release and Monthly Fees.

PS3 GPU is equivalent to 7800GTX, they can't even run Crysis 2 with full quality

but... OK, it will not dead in next year but you'll never run those new release games at 100%

IIRC from an interview with naughty dog. The cell processor is what does 90% of the graphic processing in Uncharted 2. The GPU only does graphical rendering effects like screen effects durring certain seens. The reason developers keep having a hard time and complain about programming for the Cell Processor is because they keep forgetting it can act as a GPU on its own and does not need a full power GPU in tandem to do all the things a GPU can do.

Seriously, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and have NOTHING to back up what you just made up .... the most ridiculous comment I read on those forums so far and that sir is quiet an achievement.

You're acting like this is a new development in console/PC gaming. Console development has hindered PC development for years. Why would a company want to pour all their effort into making a game that a fraction of its playerbase would be able to run at full settings when they can release it optimized on a console that anyone with it could play? You mentioned Crysis 2...

The Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 sold 237,989 copies in North America and 366,816 units worldwide, according to VGchartz.com. The PlayStation 3 version of the game came in second, selling 120,853 copies in North America and 228,079 units globally. The PC version, which was the format the franchise originated on, came in a distant third with sales of 46,057 in North America and 103,373 units worldwide.

There's no point in creating a game that runs on the highest end systems when most people are perfectly content to play them on a console. As evidenced by Crysis 2 sales, people seem fine not playing it "at 100%."

And PS3 dying next year...I have no idea where you're getting that from. I guess someone better tell S-E, Konami, Bethesda and Naughty Dog to pack it in. No use developing for a dead console.
