The components of the PlayStation 3 are not yet final

Based on news popped up on xbitlabs.com, several insiders say the PlayStation 3 specifications are not yet final.

The question may be, what kind of PlayStations and games did visitors see at the Electronic Entertainment Expo then? Certainly Sony used high-performance PCs for the show, hid them, and placed a PlayStation 3 console next to them that viewers couldn’t touch or examine. Of course, these are not average computers, they probably used dual-card NVIDIA GeForce 7900 or ATI Radeon X1900 systems to demonstrate the games. This information has not been confirmed by ATI or NVIDIA.

At last year’s E3, Microsoft also had to reach for such devices when the Xbox 360 next-generation console was introduced. At the event, the Redmond giant used Apple PowerMac G5 systems with IBM PowerPC processors, which has already been reported.

Further add color to the image that this year is Nintendo he did it the same trick. The games in the demo all ran on Gamecube. The news is quite thought-provoking, since a multi-year-old console was able to produce such a spectacle, then what will happen to the much more advanced Wii…

The non-final hardware components of the PlayStation 3 even raise a concern, which will make it much harder for game makers to optimize their game software, and to make it at all. Plus, John Carmack says it's a much harder-than-average program to program a PlayStation 3, a "Japanese brain."
