I totally don't buy any of that. A console is not a tablet or a smartphone, and I don't think people use them the same way or expect the same things of them. Why would a browser need to support lots...

Electro-luminescence has limited lifespan. Anyway, you'd need two-stage moulding to make it look good/make casing rigid enough. Maybe more than two stages, possibly. Regardless, this would rack up...

What would be the point in increasing memory reserve to such a ridiculous level, what could a console OS possibly use 1.5GB for? Makes no sense. You could run a full win XP install plus a bunch of...

You probably mean PSP instead of PS3? Because PS3 has just a straight-pipe codec, all audio processing runs on the cell processor.

Yes, and no. DHs get two turrets as standard, with 3 possible. I don't think it would have been balanced to allow that many if the turret could be placed at the mouse pointer. Also, would have made...
