De Playstation3 is, ondanks de forse toename aan kracht, veel goedkoper te produceren dan de Playstation2 bij de release. Dat zegt Phil Harrison, development chief van SCEE, in een interview.

- PlayStation 3, I think, is going to be cheaper to develop for than the corresponding period of PS2 development,” he said in the interview. “I know that’s a fairly contentious statement to make, but there’s a very good reason for that,” he continued, before going on to discuss the fruits of the company’s collaborations with NVIDIA and IBM – which, he says, will make life easier for developers as well as providing hugely impressive power for the system.
