I think people are taking Ken Kutaragi's comments entirely the wrong way,then blazing off into the distance with the wrong ideas in their heads and telling everyone else their same twisted understanding of what Ken Kutaragi actually meant... This,from ign.com :http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/711/711688p1.html ..."Kutaragi joked in this latest interview that the PS3 could be made on a "Built to Order" basis, although he noted that such a scheme would bring about difficulties in distribution. Kutaragi also joked that new configurations could be offered on a yearly basis, noting that Apple and Dell use a similar business model. Whatever the case, "All configurations are the PS3," Kutaragi stated, suggesting that all meet the same basic level of memory and CPU specifications required to play PlayStation 3 games. But Kutaragi did not leave out the possibility of increased computing power in some configurations. "It's possible. If our ambitions rise, this will naturally happen. Of course, this all depends on how far our ambitions increase." Note "joked" in the upper paragraph and "All configurations are the PS3" I take from this cofigurations statement that firstly,Kutaragi is in no way going to take the PS3 down into the quagmire of the PC industry and secondly,even though its possible that Sony may upgrade the power of either the cpu or the rsx in the future,this will in no way affect compatability between different configs of PS3's because ALL systems will play all ALL games for ALL possible setups due to a SHARED BASIC STANDARD in ALL PS3 configs. The 'enhanced' systems would enhance software played on them.A bit like when PSONE games are enchanced when played on a PS2. Am i being oversimplistic?
