    Also, the PS3 is not a super computer.

        @metaltao The fact that slapping together a thousand PS3s apparently makes a super computer doesn't change the fact that the architecture was bonkers and nearly impossible to develop for.

          @mrmattimation I know now... I was making an assumption taht it being capable of doing that, woudl at least have good archetecture.

            @metaltao It might be good, just not good to put in a gaming system that mostly competes with two PowerPC-based consoles that are a million times easier to develop for.

              @mrmattimation Aye. So, it had the Hardware... But it was constructed or built.. badly?

                @metaltao Badly for the purpose it was intended, yes.

            @metaltao A good architecture for a different thing, similar to how a dam is an engineering marvel and is still terrible for housing.

          @mrmattimation Bad for games, amazing for running enormous amounts of small operations at the same time.
