Kutaragi Announces Plans To Confuse PS3 Gamers Even MoreThis is really Ashcraft's territory, as he can just flip his brain into reading those insect-l

This is really Ashcraft's territory, as he can just flip his brain into reading those insect-like Japanese cryptograms that so confound me, but he's not around. So I'm trusting the guys at Evil Avatar that this summary of a recent interview with Ken Kutaragi of Japan is more or less accurate. In the interview, Kutaragi said:

- games on PS3 are running on the PS3 with "basic configuration" - software will have different relationship with hardware (including non-gaming applications) in the future - software module will be made inside the PS3 (such as OS?) so PS3 will have no problem adopting new hardware parts (this doesn't mean you can upgrade but just different versions of PS3) - thus two models of PS3 are actually two different configurations, there might be other configurations in future, such as: enhanced version of CELL, more memory etc. The higher-end model of PS3 might be released in future.

Mind boggling. They are actually planning on techno-schisming the PS3's user base even more. The advantage of consoles over PCs from a development standpoint lies mainly in the fact that it's a stable platform with one real configuration. But Sony is basically approaching the PS3 like a computer... a move sure to frustrate developers as much as it confuses gamers.
