Not too long ago, I came across an old interview of her and Jim Kahle of IBM. I was surprised to learn that she was the vice president of technology development and alliances at IBM STG -- the group in charge of setting up the Austin design center where CELL R&D took place.

Now in a strange twist of fate, she is CEO of a company that makes GPUs which incorporate technology (Asynchronous Compute Engines) that originated from CELL -- funneled to it by SIE during PS4 devel...

Not to me... That distinct honor goes to PS3.

More to the point: "Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos."... One of the first five beings (PS, PS2, PS3, PS4 & PS5?) born of Chaos.

PS (the brand) was born out of chaos created by Nintendo abruptly severing its ties with Sony at the eleventh hour. I could be reaching, but it makes sense...

Not the controller I'm interested in, but nice nonetheless.

Looks like it wasn't what we thought -- especially me. Turns out 'Project Mephisto' is 'Man of Medan'; a horror game that seems to borrow from the story of the S.S. Ourang Medan... Glad we weren't in that boat.

Maybe we'll get to play the guessing game again sometime before Paris Games Week.

l'm going to go out on a limb (because that's where the fruit is) and say that Project Mephisto are controllers for VR locomotion, because Mephisto is also the name of a shoe company founded by a German Frenchman (Martin Michaeli). The company's claim to fame is that its shoes "are distinguished by unparalleled walking comfort".

Walking being the operative word, something is afoot... What better place and time for SIE to reveal Project Mephisto than Ga...

In a $400 console?... Maybe not. In a $500 console?... Sure. I get that everyone is hoping for a $400 PS5, but I have a hunch it will cost $500 -- a Multi-core CELL or none.

Microsoft entered the videogame space because Ken Kutaragi rejected Windows (or some OS based on Windows) for a joint gaming endeavor:

"In 1999, teams from Microsoft and Sony Computer discussed jointly developing an online videogame business. Mr. Kutaragi secretly flew in May of that year to Boeing Field in Seattle, where he met Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, who dropped in from vacation via helicopter. The two met again in July at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headq...

Obviously I realize that the untrue fabricated comment stuck (and still sticks), because you brought it up twice in two different threads. The second time triggered my initial reply and explains the hostility you perceive.

Take another look at your quote. It says "those mistakes" -- " those mistakes" is plural; and you listed what you thought "those mistakes" were: 1) a $600 system, 2) a casual comment and 3) trying to hamstring 3rd-party studi...

No one got on you for mixing things up. bujasem_89 asked you to correct him/her, if wrong, as to whether it was Kaz Hirai who made the "second job" comment. ShadowWolf712 told you that people misinterpreted and misrepresented the "second job" comment... but, the "second job" comment was never made by an SIE executive or representative to begin with.

It was fabricated by a writer... 2801d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

To say that Kodera developed or created PS Now, is to say that Kodera developed or created PS3… and that would be wrong. Ken Kutaragi conceived of PS Now during the development of PS3:

“But Kutaragi isn't standing still. He's already at work on -- that's right -- PS3, a much stronger and, more significantly, stealthier PlayStation. "PS3 will totally disappear as a console, as a shape," he says.” 2834d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment
