Seriously though hopefully its not an ill omen about the direction of the division as the corporate killer takes control.

Kutaragi: ps3 will render at 120fps and share computational resources online with idling console online to increase visuals of your game
What's the point of your post? PS2 was a gaming console and last 13 years. XB1 is an entertainment console/PC so it could last 12 years if not more, especially by considering the game streaming technology (from the cloud) which would be more popular & functional till then.
The 120fps statement was taken completely out of context. IRC this was referring to general movie playback. The second i am not sure if he really said such a thing
Your logic is sick.
Did Harisson also leave MS? Or are you talking about the time he left Sony? The PS3 wasnt in good shape at the time thats for sure. Phill might have probably stayed more if the PS3 started as good as its predecessors

So MS is clearing house like Sony did after the PS3 launch? Man, didn't realize things were that bad in Redmond.
It seems like a pretty nice way to clean house by firing someone into an executive position at another company. This may have been in the works for a while, although it seems to have thrown some of the GDC planning off as a counterpoint.
That's the weird bit. If MS were planning it then the GDC talks wouldn't have to get rescheduled. But if he was planning it without MS knowing, possibly because he saw the writing on the wall, then that would make sense.
I can't see that myself, after the fatigue introduced with the length of the last generation. In five or ten years time the both the XB1 and the PS4 will be looking pretty long in the tooth. Media control centre will be common and dirt cheap, most TV's will probably have gesture control or voice recognition. And I doubt Sony will leave the PS4 on the shelf for another decade.
So is he saying the technology is 20 years out of date?

No, he's saying that 20 years ago, he'd have had a team that was going crazy if they had that kind of technology.

That's good stuff, gotta admit I hadn't seen it here back then. Amazing how they got the price of the PS4 and WiiU correctly! Also amazing how finally 3D support is not included yet. Then the 299$ price tag with Kinect 2. The Fortaleza technology is very interesting. This was my favourite picture:
What do you mean by throwing some of the planning for the GDC? Did anything change?
In reply to Tommy (Azbat), I think it is a good departure, regardless of the fact that I am not a big fan of these things.
In my opinion, Whitten -along with Mattrick, and a few others-, did some good things, like bundling Kinect with every console, the HDMI In and an (apparently) very reliable hardware.
That's fine and dandy. But the mistakes during the presentation of the console were epic. And I am not even talking about the DRM. But the extreme focus on the TV stuff, the PR blunders and some other things that should never happen.
From a hardware point of view I missed the Xbox 360 team. The X360 was a console ahead of its time, with the unified shaders no hardware on earth had at the time, it was exciting hardware --too bad the lead welding led to the RROD.
Most interesting things the X1 has, hardware wise are the eSRAM and SHAPE, the rest is just quite mundane.
Allard was fine as a product boss, despite the fact that Zune wasn't successful, on the Xbox side they created ideas that became standards and had very imaginative ideas.
Then there was Peter Moore.... What can I say. He was fun and charming for a PR representative. :smile2:
I just hope that the next Xbox is sick when it comes out, not from a hardware perspective, but as a console.
The new person in charge, Terry Myerson, is quite young, and that's a good thing for a device like a console. :smile2:
He was scheduled for Microsoft at a fireside chat event, which would have been planned in advance.
It's not something so critical that either party would be compelled to tell conference staff or Microsoft's lower-level travel planners about a leadership change. It could be that this was in the works for a while, but not certain, or the schedule for Sonos made the timing what it was.
