Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Uprated graphics, massive storage for digital games
distribution and a pumping up of the Cell Processor count for true
future gaming are all on the cards. One thing that is in doubt,
however, is the Blu-Ray drive.
Unless hardware costs drop like a brick why on
Earth would Sony continue to make a loss on every console sold when
dumping the Blu-Ray would solve the profitability issue?
And it is that profitability issue which makes me think that 2010 will be the year of the PS4 as well.
Sure, the new Jasper versions hitting the shops should
solve many of the overheating and red ring problems, but this being
seen as just a stepping stone to the next machine.
Talking of which, while there has been little leaking out from
Microsoft about what the 720 will look like or how it will be specced,
some developers have been less careful. At the Games Convention
Developers Conference in Leipzig, Germany last year one let slip the
likely arrival date for the 720.
Cevat Yerli, CEO of FarCry and Crysis development house Crytek, gave a
keynote which talked about the new CryEngine 3 system and stated that
it will arrive at the same time as the 720. Which he said would be in
2011 or 2012.
Of course, if that is indeed the case, then it would put Microsoft
behind Nintendo and Sony instead of beating them to the punch as with
the 360. For me, that's a good thing. At least by taking more time
Microsoft might actually release a console which works properly right
out of the box this time around.
