About the PS3 "Cell" Chip

Lenny, if I was attacking you, it would be far worse than this. It wouldn't "sound like" I was "trying" lay into you. You'd be laid into and you'd know it.

All I was doing was giving you a heads up. I was trying to do you a favor by giving you some insight into seeing through Sony's penchant for bullshit PR. They're trumping up the Cell to be the second coming of Jesus, and while it actually might be a huge technological leap forward, I can guarantee you that the version of the Cell chip that the PS3 gets is going to be one of the lowest-powered and most cost-efficient models they produce.

That's all I'm saying. Not everything I post is a flame, dude. Chill.

He wasn't attacking you at all, just stating what he thought sony would do at E3, and I agree totally with it.

It isn't in their nature or history or whatever to not say much about the E3, they might just go out and show off everything that it is possible of, most likely.

Witholding information is Nintendo's route, not Sony's. While I like surprises, it's not a very good busniess decision to keep everything a secret until the last moment. Sony understand this, and they understand that if they want a good shot at keeping Microsoft a distant 2nd in marketshare, they need to really beat the hell out of them at E3. They need to make potential Microsoft-buyers say to themselves "eh, it's too early for me to be buying a new XBox. I'll wait for the PS3." Their best bet is to show the public what they've got as soon as they can, and the best place to do that is E3.
