    All right, so here's some pretty exciting news.

    Not only is the PS2 game-making going to be non-existent, but now we hear word that the PlayStation 4 development is in progress.

    I'm not sure that this is trustworthy. I thought I remembered hearing that Sony said their next console would not use a Cell Chip like the PS3. >> Then again, it wouldn't be surprising if they did it anyways.

    I'm sure they would use another cell processor. The idea of sticking to the cell would give Sony half of what it takes to enable backwards compatibility to PS3 games. Which, as everyone knows, is huge for the console. Plus with the hardware of the PS4 (that I atleast expect it to have) using emulation to enable PS2/PS1 backwards compatibility would be quite easy. As any programming/hardware savy person knows, even next generation would not be able to emulate the PS3. Using updated forms of its hardware is the only way to enable backwards compatibility for it.
