2nd what Blerk said, the PS2 was squeezed hard right up until developers largely left it behind for the next gen, one of the strengths of console developers is their drive to wring the best out of existing hardware since it’s all they’ve got to work with for 5 to 10 years.

I’m filing this under the same heading as the earlier “Guerrilla man says the PS3 is really super-duper.”

yeah, 3 and a half years does seem to have gone fast!

I’m curious as to what in particular he’s referring to when he mentions ‘knowing whats coming to the Xbox Live service in the next couple of years’… Hopefully we will know more at E3!

It’ll be four years in November. Only seems about six months old to me.

Yeah they will always find ways to exploit the hardware.
I mean just look at the way PS2 evolved.

To be honest, I can’t believe it’s a four year-old console. It’s bonkers, really.

“Yeah, I said we’d maxed it out before, but then Microsoft kicked my arse until I agreed to change my mind”.

Of course there’s still plenty to be gotten out of it. Look at some of the stuff they were achieving on the PS2 late on in its life – they made earlier efforts look like they were on a completely different machine.
