The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is the next stage in the evolution of Sony’s console gaming powerhouse. Loaded with a mix of multimedia features and functions available on earlier PlayStation 3 models, as well as a series of new advancements and refinements, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is destined to push the envelope in the realm of Next-Generation entertainment. As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 160GB system features an IBM “Cell” processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 160GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit’s smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 160GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors.

An Initial Look at Nintendo's Project Cafe / Wii 2 Strategy

30.04.11

Jacob Mazel, 12 hours ago, 13,831 views

Nintendo has recently confirmed the existance of Project Cafe, the successor to the Wii, Nintendo's best selling home console of all time. The new device is supposed to be playable at E3. Launch is coming in 2012, in all likelihood after March 2012, but before Black Friday 2012. As we don't know which reports and whispers are true - especially since some have already been confirmed to be wrong - such as a 2011 release, the focus here is simply speculation about features and plans based on data and common sense.

Nintendo's Pitch to Third Party Publishers

Third party support - what kind more specifically - is the first item to address for Project Cafe. As far as raw numbers go, Wii was so popular that even with, for lack of a better phrase, the "Nintendo wall of greatness", Nintendo's domination of the top ten titles for each and every one of its systems, third parties have still had more success on Wii than on any other Nintendo platform. Ubisoft and Sega have produced games that have sold over 5 million units on Wii, and several other titles have topped 4 million units. By the time you get down to titles over 1m units on Wii there are about 80 third party games and another 20 titles within spitting distance of 1m units. There have about 1,000 third party Wii games released to date, and so close to 10% of third party titles are shipping 1m units or more, which given the costs of Wii development is a profit of $10-$15 million in most cases.

An Initial Look at Nintendo's Project Cafe / Wii 2 Strategy By late 2012, with two controllers (one like Wii, one for core gamers), fairly high-end graphics, and a bundled launch game, Nintendo could probably get away with charging $300 for Project Cafe and make a small profit on each device.

    fhq It costs money to buy game system. Why spend hundreds on a PSP you don't need to wait to spend hundreds on a PS3 you'll get.

yingzx71 I have some ps2 games that I would like to play on my ps3 but I dont want ruin my ps3 by doing this.
-GideonDThe original models had hardware support for PS2 games. Then they removed the hardware support and went with software emulation. Current models have neither and can only play PS3 and PSOne games. It depends on what model you have. The chart on the following page may help you determine what you have.
