Sony: It would be undesirable for PS4 to launch significantly later

There's a difference between having a tri-core CPU that works as a single entity and having several SPU's and cores that work separately as specialized units, computing only given aspects of a game. That's a whole lot of extra programming to be done.

Final Fantasy (at least from VII+) and DMC are traditionally Playstation series, ported over to 360 due to demand. Vanquish is an odd exception.
Edit: Do you really have to nitpick a largely true claim just for the sake of it?

Oh, I also missed Dark Souls! Originally developed for the PS3 by From Software (a PS3 exclusive in Japan), and Bandai Namco ported it to the Xbox.
I just like pointing things out.
Edit: LA Noire too! Gosh! Zero games!

Ah, I understand your confusion.You were looking at the words themselves, not what they meant in context.
You're welcome to read things that way.
I wonder what is the PS4 disc format...
Surely there's nothing better than bluray right?

My tastes > Your tastes.
I owned a Wii until last month. I owned it for almost two years, and owned more than 20 games. Unlike most people here, I actually went out to buy them. Half of them on the week of release at full price.
Yet, the only game I ever bothered to finish was Sin & Punishment: SS. I didn't find a lot of the games fun. I felt that the experience in some games were completely ruined by the motion controls. Xenoblade Chronicles, along with a few other games, weren't coming into North America. I find Mario games fun, but I'm growing tired of it. While I feel that Zelda games are well designed and produced, I find the experience to be dull. DKCR was not a DK game to me, although Retro did a fantastic job with the level designs. Metroid is as good as dead. If I want VC, I have an emulator. It's not like the money goes to the devs or anything. I sold my Wii two weeks ago. I checked the machine out to make sure it was functioning properly, and it told me the last time I touched it was in May. I don't even recall playing a game on it in 2011, except playing Wii party (Not my copy) with friends.
Meanwhile, I've spent over 40 hours into Dark Souls by itself, which I have owned since October 4th. Recent pickups include Child of Eden, and Uncharted 3. I'm having a lot of fun with them.

Good God this, taste really is subjective.
I've owned a PS3 for over two years and Wii for several months and the Wii just doesn't get played. Even though I can easily pirate the games, I have no motivation to do so as the games lack any kind of appeal to me. The only time the Wii gets used is when my Niece and Nephew come around to my house.
If I was Sony I wouldn't trust IBM again. They sold Sony's PS3 research to Microsoft to make the Xbox 360's (non-slim) Motherboard and CPU.
No, no, no, they sold *their* research that they've conducted for Sony, but that didn't belong to Sony, to Microsoft.
Also, enlighten me, who would be a better candidate for such an R&D operation...?
AMD?
The research was a co. done with Toshiba and Sony. The former wanted to sue but a tank size loophole in the contracts with IBM prevented them from doing so.
I would continue to do R&D with them but I would have new contracts wrote to prevent them from selling the research to Microsoft.

If your lawyers are incompetent and prepare a crappy contract that allows the other company to sell theoretically "your" assets, then excuse me, but you have only your lawyers to blame - you can't be butt hurt over IBM just because they chose to cash in on their discoveries. At the end of the day, they did improve the PS3, so their part of the bargain was complete.

@Xdqwerty, to answer your question, they're a fusion Brit-pop/J-pop/electronic band with a woman vocalist. Flamingo is hands down their best known song but they've got a ton of other really good songs+1 -

For example, one of my other favorite songs from them, with some massive house music influence -+1
