J ALLARD TALKS NEXT-GEN

The most interesting comment is

"The game development community hasn't been asking for a very clever chip that has very high performance, they've been saying we want micro-transactions. And so I was trying to draw a distinction between the approach that we're taking and the approach Sony's taking. I wanted to remind the development community that I'm the guy who's got his ears open and wants to hear what their thoughts are - where they want us to go next year, where they want us to go the year after. "

Emphasis mine.

What I wanna know is, is that comment true? Some developers on this board and others are completely BUZZED at the CELL tech... show support for it in their comments, and maybe even a preference for it as a development platform. In fact it seems like most developers feel that way... Where does J. Allard get his impression from that he's the only one responding to developer wishes?
 
I think this has already been linked in the other thread... :devilish:

I wonder how a "clever chip" excludes the possibily for micro-transactions.... Not that it's something I want to see happening anyway (regardless of who enforces it). :?
