Ken Kutaragi, the head of Sony's Playstation department, recently spoke in an interview with Electronic Engineering Times Asia. He made the following comments regarding the Playstation 3 console:
“Though sold as a game console, what will in fact enter the home is a Cell-based computer. The model image for the Cell-based network may be the Internet: servers around the world form one virtual 'computer,' and each PC accesses it. Application programs can no longer directly access the hardware; instead they will have to be written in high-level, object-oriented language. The Cell processor will completely change the concept of programming. I am sure that a technology revolution is about to occur, not only within Sony but throughout the digital consumer electronics industry.”
