Is the PS3 a Saturn?

Interesting article posted by pcworld

“Of course what Sony calls “more you can do with it,” most intelligent developers would equivocate with the same sort of learning curve that killed the Sega Saturn. No one’s disputing it’s more powerful at this point, but wrapping a Honda Civic around a V12 won’t win you any races.”

When you (at least me) spend this much money of a game/entertainment system, you want it to last for a long time. Sony claims they are on a 10-year model with all PlayStation systems; hopefully the PS3 is no different. I have not picked up any Blu-ray movies yet, but there are several on my wish list. It would suck if Sony pulled the plug in a couple of years. I really do not see that happening, but I never thought I would write about Junior and the Sega Saturn in the same blog post, which in this case was a stretch. Sue me.
