- While we're STILL waiting for PS5 news, let's examine another previous Sony console and see what the rumors and speculation was like. We did the PS4 already, so let's check out the PS3. For a console that launched in 2006, we'll be looking at rumors that date back over 15+ years ago. Amazingly, you've got a lot of parallels from then that still hold today. Not only with the rollout of news from Sony, but the amount of false rumors too. Some things never change, I tell ya. Like how I can't stop talking about that PS Triple. BALLIN'.

When I left my previous company (London) in May 2012, they asked me what do you want? I jokingly said PS3 because I knew I wouldn't get it as leaving gifts are mostly £50. My manager told the CEO and CEO said is he a kid, my manager replied it's for video game programming. lol The next day my manager said let's go and went to Sainsbury with me and bought me a PS3 that was wow moment in my life. May god bless my manager :)
My wife bought me a PS4. My uncle got me PS2. I have always gotten Playstation as a gift somehow, lucky me :)
My gf getting me ps5 lol im paying for about half. Unless this stimulus thing works out ill buy it myself and my son one too

Welp lucky you my friend
Can you guys believe by the time the ps5 cones out the ps3 would be considered retro.......
damn I'm getting old
I was 12 back then. Now i'm in my mid twenties. Time flies

@@TJaeSpeaks lol I was a baby only 7 at the time but i remember those times clear as day
Despite its troubled start I'll always have a special place in my heart for PS3. The jump from from SD to HD was just Jaw Dropping and Blurays looked pretty incredible too in 1080p. I had it for 9 years before i upgraded to PS4 Pro and i still miss that XMB Menu and all my Music/Pictures and Video Files :(
xiaguan whisky is that Nier the same one we getting soon as a remaster? Did so how is it?
@xiaguan whisky the biggest jump in my veiw.
1080p in 2006 was just wow
Lucky for me that i still enjoy the mighty ps3 nowdays. My first i bought in 2007 and it is still with me. Unfortunatly she boots UP and it shuts down, but it isnt the ylod. If i insist many times she eventualy turns on, but after i try some game she shuts down. If i listen música or watch vídeos she doesnt go down. I dont know what is. And i think the blueray drive also has some problem. Anyway, when that start to happen, i was just to much envolved with the system, because of my multimédia contente, and the online features and great games. I have to bought another one, but this time arround, i wanted a trully imaculate console condition. Since 2007 till nowdays my phat ps3 is working extremely fine and i bought another one in 2013 wich is also hooked to my LCD HD TV. The same happen with my original 2005 360. Red ring. Just in 2011 i bought the slim 250gb. I have 2 with kinect. Also hooked UP to my TV. Working like New and the fans for all system including my ps2s, dreamcasts etc are very clean and make no noise at all. That is because when you like your stuff and it costs you money and time, you should take much care of it, if you want to play games, forever.
The ps3 was worth every penny, I have happy memories from when the launch day arrived, it was a very exciting time, before all this social media was here, getting it home, setting it up, and trying all the the various things that it could do, it played cds dvds bluray, ps1 ps2, and super audio cds, it was a very Underestimated system.
No Used Games was really hard to hear in a day.
Funny how microsoft copied the idea and totaly fucked up with Faibox one
marty8370 Bruh, Microshaft can’t get out of its own way.
thats all digital is really
a market without used games
people have already widely accepted it
@@nepetaclose1338 Yep, that's one reason why I love physical copies, and I will 4 ever love them.
@@Bugsitogamer yep me too, sometimes i feel like I'm just trash with my money because if I really like a game I bought digitally, I go into ebay and order a physical copy as well.
The Cell processor was originally for the PlayStation 4. As stated in the statement at 0:57.
And I remember Sony saying the chipset for the PS3 was already developed before the Cell announcement.
So they abandoned the original chipset for the PS3 and implemented the Cell chipset instead.
Leader X it makes sense. Cell was way ahead of its time , only now developers are starting to get a hold of heterogeneous computing.
I always wondered if Sony could bring that chip out of retirement for certain tasks.
Apparently it has a theoretical peak of 1 teraflop , which was amazing for 2005 and still Pretty capable for things like audio/video processing and also certain particle/physics calculations.
I guess Sony somehow used that knowledge with the tempest engine , which sort or acts like a cell SPE , utilising a GPU compute unit instead.
@@GrayFoxGamingHD
The problem with the Cell processor is that it was too expensive to be used in most commercial products, including game consoles.
I'm surprised Sony didn't release some laptops or PCs with the Cell processor. That's where it would have been best used in the commercial sector.
That was pretty ambitious of them, although it’s a shame that its potential wasn’t fully utilized in PS3; partitioned memory and an underpowered GPU really bottlenecked an almost perfect gaming device.
Cell processor was an engineering masterpiece. Problem is that it was released too early and developers only started to fully appreciate it and understand how to deal with it at the end of 7th generation. It would have been so nice to see a third option beside Intel and AMD.
So basically, is this the same concept where in the making of spiderman 3, sand was originally going to be the only villain, but ended up putting venom last min? I mean they’re no different since they’re both sony any have the same font lmaoo
Ps3 days were the best bc you didn't have to pay to play online. (Excluding free multiplayer games)
And you could do so much more with a ps3. You could fownload everything it had some cool features
@StrawHat Luffy
I never had an issue with it. I think it's a you issue lol
@StrawHat Luffy
Lack of players isn't indicative of quality. So I don't see what yous issue was with PS3's online.
I still go online on mine from time to time with no major issues.
@StrawHat Luffylol the online insults were irrelevant in 2007, the fact that you're trying to use them 13 years later is just funny
You still don’t have to pay for multiplayer on ps4 if you’re smart ^^

I would love a boomerang controller just as a novelty thing

I want ps5 having a backwards compatibility ps1, ps2, ps3 games.

Hell I'll take just ps2 and ps1 I can still play PS3 over HDMI on my TV I have to use adaptors for ps1 and ps2
Justin Plays just play them on old consoles,what’s point of buying next gen console to play old ass games
Why do you want technically inferior PS1 compatibility? Those games don't hold up well 25 year later.
Sony had the last laugh, when PS3 pushed out Blu-ray too the masses

That's rich, coming from someone who can't help himself from trolling. 😂😂😂😂😂.
When you say 70 years from now, if you’re talking about the PS9, it’ll probably more than likely come a bit sooner than that. Every console comes on avg. 7 years. So we could expect to see it in 2048
2020 - PS5
2027 - PS6
2034 - PS7
2041 - PS8
2048 - PS9
This one will come in handy for my retirement
i honestly believe ps6 will come 2026
anddo Well, I won’t deny it. But realistically, you just gotta look at how well it sells. If the PS5 sells like hot cakes like the PS4 did, it’ll most likely come out in 2027. If it doesn’t, then we could expect it to arrive around 2026.
See ya all in 30 years on this comment guys 😁
I wonder how will the PS10 will look like....
3:19 I remember a modern military game called 'Avalon' was the first 'next gen' game announced for the 7th gen. I didn't hear anything more about that title.
I always wanted to try the boomerang controller. It looks cool to me.
The situation is a bit similar to the current PS5 rumors.
`
no shit that's probably why he did the video
It’s crazy though. I was ten when the PS3 came out in 2006. I was in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Sooo crazy. How time flies. Now when the PS5 comes out I’ll be 24. It goes to show how long Console Generations last these days.

coincidentally, i was thinking about this just a few days ago, wanting to learn about this era of leaks and rumors. was hoping you’d make a video one day, and well, that didn’t take long. thank you for doing so.
When people thought the second gen XBox would be called "XBox 2" crazy
This video deserves to blow up. So much work and research was put into this.
Funny, watching your video emerged some old feelings. I remember getting the 1st gen PS3, staring at the box before opening and unboxing the PS3. I also remember on the first week being disappointed how much it was on par (being light on the matter) with a much more affordable Xbox 360. Couldn’t find Blu-Ray movies to buy or rent and not to mention the situation with ports.
And that’s how the relationship started to fade. It had to me the same feel of unboxing a MacBook or something like that without the productivity part, it was just a flawed movie/game box (OtherOS sucked without full GPU acceleration).
Pretty good vid. One problem I have, though, is that Sony did not try to pass off those vids as actual gameplay. Their wording before they showed it at E3 was that these were target renders of what they hoped the PS3 could produce. I'd like to see links to where PR tried to say they were actual gameplay, cause you don't show that in your vid. And one has to remember that this was a time when Sony was scrambling for a GPU, because their Cell as both CPU and GPU didn't work out. Sony was upset because they felt Nvidia underdelivered on the RSX, and haven't worked with them since for a PS system.
It'll also be interesting if in a few years time we start getting a bunch of vids talking about what MS did this gen to cover up the power difference between the PS4 and XBO, create fake playable demos running on more powerful HW than the actual XBO. Even taking the fake Forza demo on national TV, on Jimmy Fallon, and let him play it. Not talking about you specifically, since you mainly do PS stuff, but something tells me DF aren't going to devote a long video to that like they did the PS3 target vids. MS pays them too much for that.
The cell processor was powerful but it was complex to develop games for.
0:58 Yo that article was posted on my 1st birthday wow lol
Damn
I remember camping in line and having to stomp a kid out after stabbing his dad to get my hands on a PS3. Good times.
prod1192 off course you did
now this was a brilliant concept for a UA-cam video. You're the only gaming channel I know of that actually puts effort into their content
My favorite console
Mine too
I have a PS4 Pro but the PS3 is still epic.
Some of this stuff sounds very familiar!
I love the old PS3 logo so much. That Spider-Man font looked sleek and badass.
My first PS3 was a launch retail demo unit with a 250gb drive. It was from a kiosk that you would find in a store to demo games, the mom and pop shop i was working at offered it up to me.
The whole thing was a pain to play. For starters, I had to input a code to play anything other than a demo, navigating to settings everytime i turned on the console. I also was unable to install updates or connect to PSN. In fact, to get a new system firmware I had to rely heavily on update discs from my Sony rep (still have a few of these around), whenever I got a system update I would also get new demos and videos.
Eventually it was too much of a hassle and I bought a "60gb PS3" which ended up being a a 120gb unit. It is covered with stickers and decals (even a strip of felt), missing the old expansion slot cover... and it still works. Even after duping over 1k Weykland stones in the small boat outside of Anvil.
Whaaaat I didnt know there was leaks on the PS3!!
Do another for PlayStation 2!
Would be really interesting to watch
Back before the PS4 was released, I predicted that remote play would be a big focus, and every game would work. I also speculated that theyd open it up to mobiles and PCs and I was laughed out of every forum I said it on.
I would have believed you friend
The over heating rumor was right and wrong. The all black 20gb model has a faulty fan that does not speed up when the system in under a heavy load in some games. But most of the 60 and 80gb models worked just fine. I say most because there were a few that the fan speed control would fail and Red Ring of Death.
The Blu-ray diode is still an issue in the PS3, considering mine stopped working (after less than a decade, and probably way less runtime). - I still don't know if it like burned or if it's just dirty, but I have yet to find out...
And wouldn’t you know it, Sony has just revealed their official PS5 Controller that’s set to be a major departure of the other four generations and being what they were trying to do with the Boomerang Controller al those years ago! Talk about perfect timing.
Ahhh memories. Resistance I miss that game
TheZelda360 it was and still is my go to game for offline splitscreen battle with my friend
Great video broskii
8:55 - Man! If ONLY that ended up being more true. Had it had been $400 while it still had true compatibility with disc-based PS2 games, the PS3 would’ve done better in its first year. Or at least on par to the Xbox 360 and the Wii during their first years out in the market.
12:09 - It’s pronounced “ZEAL-OTS,” not “Zea-ots”.
I know I'm a year late but when I was growing up as a almost 9 year old kid seeing the PS3 blew me away in 2006. My family was a PlayStation kind of family since my dad had the original fat PS1 that would overheat in 6 hours he told me. Then we got the fat PS2 in 2001? Or 2003 which I still have today. Man going to Circuit City all the time and just playing the demo PS3 Motorstorm game all the time just always blew me away before the console was launched. But talking about the PS3 for a minute, I remember seeing it in the catalogs in November 2006 and showing my parents it, we didn't get it on launch day but we got it I think a few days or a week after launch. From what my mom has told me is that we went down to the BX store at the Air Force Base and just to see if they had any, they actually did and I think my parents spent like $800? We got the 60GB, with another PS3 controller, Resistance Fall of Man and Motorstorm. It was just amazing having a PS3 finally, we hardly got to play it at first cause we didn't really have any "kid friendly" games other than Motorstorm and the rule was at the time between me and my sister if we had any friends over and we we're on it we had to get off. I was the only friend who had a PS3 until 2011, man I was given so much crap and shit in middle school because everyone had a 360 and I had a PS3 but I didn't care really cause I loved the PS3. As the years went by after the terrible PS3 launch and how the games looked, they only got better as the years went on and quite a lot of those games won Game of the Year.
Fairly new subscriber and dude I love your videos, especially the PS3 videos. That was such a golden era to grow up in as a teenager.. very much so miss those days!
I bought a 360 in 2006 because of budget, I was in high school. But by 2010-2013 I was all PS3. I loved that console so much.
this is a good example of information and how rumors spread ryan is really underrated 👍
Very very good information
Love this idea. Doing the exact same thing but for PS2, I have hundreds of news pages saved from a whole bunch of defunct websites. If you ever need links, I have a few saved that have working news archive sections that go as far back as 1996?
It's amazing what you can find and it becomes so addictive. I managed to find the original video files for Dynasty Warrioirs and Tekken Tag from 1999 that still have working downloads! Or rumours from 1996 about what the PS2 is going to be lol
minor note: "hardware-based" is still emulation, just hardware-based emulation. It may use the same EE chip that the PS2 used but there's still a lot of other hardware/software integration needed to make it all work within the PS3.
There were three different levels to this, and I would certainly call the first one actually native running. The extra path of the render through the PS3 parts can not really be considered part of the emulating.
It was only with the second generation systems that it was partially emulated. And it was actually the EE that was removed. The GS was the more complicating factor remaining.
The third ones had no hardware support at all, and very low compatibility because of it.
Enjoyed this, I was excited when I got my PS3 after it got delayed in the UK
Man I remember those days. I was one of those blind Playstation fanboys that kept defending the indefensible lol
Still, despite Sony getting my unearned loyalty, sticking with them payed off eventually. I clearly remember Sony finally taking the PS3's poor reception seriously around 2009-2010. They slashed the PS2 chipset to release the cheaper and sleaker PS3 Slim along with a new PS3 logo. And from that point on they would push wave after wave of high quality games. A trend they still stick by to this day.
In retrospect it's really neat to step back and notice how the competition between Sony, MS and Nintendo brought out the best in them.
The 7th gen was a fun ride.
I remember IGN forums saying that the "machine" would run games at "1080p 120fps" lol. Don't expect much for this gen, 4K, 60fps, all bullshit. It's either 4K or 60fps. Also the PS5 backwards compatibility is trash, games aren't even working properly yet. And their major concern? SSD, something that's on the PC market for almost a decade.
Ps4 pro can already do checkboarded 4k with 30 fps. Ps4 was limited by the weak cpu, so ps5 can do 4k 60 fps. The cpu, gpu, ssd, and ram jump are massive
Dude you already have ps5?? How you know ps5 backwards compatibility is trash??
@@aliefr2984 remember the massive jump from 6th to 7th gen? It's always the same fucking thing, it's gonna do this, it's gonna do that, it's the most powerful in the world etc etc. I will start saving money for a powerful PC. I'm done with consoles.

I took a Computer Tech course in Collage and learned how to clean, repair, and build computers. I can even repair consoles if the CPU isn't burned out. Re-balling a CPU requires a special jig and solder machine that cost $2,000. And there is a 50/50 chance that the CPU didn't get fried. Just buy another console. It's cheaper then the repair.
Guilty pleasure is liking the boomerang design for the ps3 controller
Those PS2 commercials changed the gaming landscape in my opinion. Finally gamers were treated as adults and the idiosyncratic nature of the commercials really struck a core with gaming audiences.

Can we get Detective Ryan to find out what the PS5 looks like?
Also, great video. Full of interesting information. Didn't even know half of it.
Do a PS4 rumors
PS3 was worth it considering the years and games...
The PS3 recording is a bit reflected in some games supporting remote play I suppose. Since the video encoding was being done for that anyway, so also recording that would be the easy part. Though, I guess maybe those early 60 or even 20GB made it seem a detrimental waste of space.
It could also be the addition of the dedicated GPU was another issue as the encoding would be made back an SPU.
All I remember is that the PS3 came out and I bought it, enjoyed playing it and loved it.
Still have my launch PS3 and it’s still running good.... but I do miss Warhawk
The PS3 was going to feature 2 cell processors instead of one. However upon finding out the capabilities of the Xbox 360 , Sony decided to add a Nvidia GPU at the last minute.
Toward the end of its lifetime developers like naughty dog , used the cell for extra graphical processing demonstrating the chip hetegenerous computing capabilities .
Cell and its programming concept was too ahead of its time.
The separate memory pools and the fact that it feature an off the shelf GPU further revealed how sony was caught by surprise.
They didnt "just decided" to put NV gpu, it turned out the Cell's graphics output couldnt compete with 360 "xenos" dedicated gpu, plus new architecture wasnt easy to develop too.
Thus they had to rush to put dedicate gpu chip, which at the time available were nvidia NV47/G70/G71 (geforce 7 series) to be modified into RSX and additionally put some workaround stuff so that it can actually work. Which have led to some issues of bottlenecking in data exchange between cell and rsx which caused multiplatform games to look worse on ps3 compared to xbox360.
It's true that at the console lifespan end exclusive games looked great (TLOU, Killzone 3,..), multiplatforms would still be worse (Skyrim, BF3, BF4, Call of Duty...).
Cell's extra graphics output only useful in exclusive games where developers dont have to worry about any other platform architecture with their game engines.
The commercials were the best part of ps3. No one can get as weird as Asians, the commercials gave us a taste of that.
I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS your pfp too lol
Nobody gonna talk about it being 2:15 am in the background?
Funny at the day of launch. I camped out at BestBuy to buy my PS3. No 20 or 40gb models were available, just a 60 and 80gb. Both were $599.99. No brainer I grabbed the 80gb. Within 3 years it burned out. $250 to fix it. I found a H model on ebay for $200. No backwards compatible. My CECHA01 is book end.
Damn
That cell processor commercial couldnt be 2001 PS2 came out in 2000.
They deleted the ps3 from the playstation website :(
PS3 2006 model will forever be my favorite console, it did everything
The 2007 80gb model is much better in my opinion.
2:22 thanks mike hunt
Never owned or played ps3 or ps4 😔 not enough Money to buy them
My whole salary goes into feeding strays
Fallen Ghost Yasha ps3 is very cheap these days you can find them as low as 30-40$
Would suggest buy hacked ps3 and psvita for you. Each for 60$. And pirate games for free.
